Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen: Portscapes
In 2009 several national and international artists undertook an artistic journey of discovery into the past, present and future of the Port of Rotterdam under the umbrella title of Portscapes, drawing inspiration from the port. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is showing ten art projects that resulted from it in a high-profile exhibition. The construction of the Second Maasvlakte, an enormous reclamation project creating 2,000 hectares of land in the North Sea, prompted the Port of Rotterdam Authority to embark on an ambitious art programme. A series of art projects was put together in association with the art and public space foundation SKOR (Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte) and Latitudes, a team of curators from Barcelona. 30.1. – 25.4.2010, Portscapes Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen more... |

No1 Sun Engine ENDGAME - BLUE GOLD (from the series of exhibitions ‘Maritime Chronicles’) The English title for ‚Endgame’ is not only a Samuel Beckett’s play, but is also taken from the last part of a chess game, when there are very few pieces left. Beckett himself was known to be an avid chess player; the struggle of Hamm to accept the end can be compared to the refusal of novice players to admit defeat, whereas experts normally resign after a serious blunder or setback. In parallel, ENDGAME – BLUE GOLD title refers to geopolitical perspectives on the question of water developed around the globe within a series of exhibition entitled ‚Maritime Chronicles’. 19.12.2009 – 29.1.2010: Darb 1718 Contemporary Art and Culture Center, Cairo more... |
