Encounters: Art & Context
By West Den Haag | free entry
At a time when thinking in terms of traditional disciplines — such as art, music, dance and architecture – seems to function less and less, the definition of art seems to reside more in method than in appearance. Within the series ‘public meetings’ during ‘Encounters’ two international experts (per event) will be given space to highlight this cultural phenomenon and engage the audience is a discussion.
Moderated by Liesbeth Levy, Director Stichting Lokaal
With: Pascal Gielen and Josephine Bosma; Thijs Lijster; K Schippers & Reinbert de Leeuw; Mark Bain & Xander Karskens; Mischa Andriessen
11.00 hrs at the Reflections Room at Art Rotterdam
Friday 12 February
Artists’ ideals and the ideal curator
By Witte de With
Can curators carry out their practice by themselves? Where and how does the voice of the public, the critic, the institution, or more over, the artist fit within curatorial reflection?
Defne Ayas (director Witte de With) will lead a discussion about this matter in which several curators and artists participate.
With Adam Sutherland & Laure Prouvost; Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung & Satch Hoyt; Gregory Castera & Kobe Matthys; Emily Pethick & Wendelien van Oldenborgh; Rhea Dall & Kristine Siegel
12.00 hrs at Witte de With, Witte de Withstraat 50
