Localisms

More information: Enough Room for Space



For the start of Localisms we organised a workshop 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 focused 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. During the run of the exhibition new work is developed and new participants will add their observations. This workshop is a follow-up of an earlier workshop in November 2007 in THE ANNEX at the Jan van Eyck, Material Gathering #3
