Localisms
12 April until 19 Octobre 2008
- 12 Apr 2008 - 19 Oct 2008
During the last week of the exhibition At Random? Networks and cross-pollinations a workshop will be held in Museum De Paviljoens. The artists and designers participating in this workshop share a common interest in the singularities and peculiarities of specific locations. The workshop focuses on the area F-7, the only plot of land in the heart of Almere that hasn’t been rulerdrawn yet. It is home to temporary buildings and activities: youth housing, coffeeshop De Blowboot, a building materials storage site for the Municipality of Almere, youngsters, school for lower secondary professional education Villa Parkhurst, De Muur – Almere’s grafitti hotspot, carnival trailers and Museum De Paviljoens.
The workshop forms the upbeat to LOCALISMS, an exhibition that focuses on the poetry in the street, the discovery of the (urban) landscape, unnoticed sounds, the investigative look, archives of image and sound, wanderlust and world travellers. The exhibition LOCALISMS starts with a workshop on the 1st of April 2008 with the artists Richard Wentworth, Marjolijn Dijkman, Enough Room for Space, Savage, Eric Van Hove, Frank Koolen, Sara Kolster, Derek Holzer, Marc Boon, Kristin Posehn, SoundTransit, Maarten Vanden Eynde and Julie Peeters, Elody Hiryczuk en Sjoerd van Oevelen. During the run of the exhibition new work is developed and new participants will add their observations.
It's an ongoing process!
With LOCALISMS, Museum De Paviljoens continues a tradition of exhibitions with a progressing character that refer to creative prosseses or putting a meaning on contemporary art and culture. Creative processes are not linear. The exhibitions LOCALISMS starts during the exhibition At Random? Netwerken en kruisbestuivingen. In addition, during LOCALISMS new work is developed and new participants add their observations to the exhibition.
Prior exhibitions in this tradition by Museum De Paviljoens were Non Lineair Editing (2002), Methods of Investigation (2004), SITUATIES / Laboratorium Flevoland (2005) and At Random? Netwerken en kruisbestuivingen (2007).
