De stad, de stad

De stad, de stad (The city, the city) is the final exhibition of curator Bas Hendrikx in Garage Rotterdam. The group exhibition explores the experience of the urban space. While some artists approach the city as a social space or a place for adventures, others perceive it as oppressive. How can you make the city your own?

With: Moyra Davey, Risk Hazekamp, Dorian Hiethaar, Richard John Jones, THE KOKRA FAMILY line kramer en marjolijn kok, Jaanus Samma, A. Staal, Sille Storihle en Arthur

Marthe Ramm Fortun’s performances present themselves through recited, site-specific texts and ephemeral sculptural boundaries. There are always several languages at play– the linguistic and the poetic; the sculptural and the bodily– interwoven and deliberate, they inscribe closed off institutional spaces with persistent and poetic feminisms. On a lawn of spring flowers in-between the Medieval cast iron fences of access and risk, Fortun presents a new work within the exhibition context of De Stad, de stad.

TALKS about architecture is a lecture-series that offers a podium to emerging international architecture practices. TALKS approaches architecture primarily as an artistic discipline which derives its social relevance from its poetical and spatial qualities. TALKS is an initiative of Rotterdam-based architecture office De Kort Van Schaik and is organized in collaboration with AIR.

We are proud to announce that Mary Duggan will kick-off this series of TALKS about architecture. Her lecture on Friday June 14th will be the first of four in the 2019 TALKS about architecture program. Mary Duggan Architects is an architecture and design studio established in March 2017. Duggan is committed to the delivery of well-conceived and thoughtfully-detailed architecture. The ethos of her practice is driven by the ambition to understand the spirit of the places in which they build. Interested in the creative potential of cross-disciplinary interaction, the practice supports a residency program for emerging and established artists and makers. To date this residency includes a ceramicist, an illustrator and a sculptor, all of whom contribute to the development of live projects in the office.

Before moving to Rotterdam, artist Natalia Sorzano worked as coordinator for the LGBTIQ affairs for the Colombian Government. Her performance Office for Irrelevant Affairs addresses the issues she encountered working at a Ministry that neglected and politically instrumentalized sexual and gender identities.The title of the performance is taken from a quote by her co-worker, after a briefing about the threats to the community was met with indifference. Now, years later, Natalia Sorzano remains in touch with her activist colleagues, and looks back at her time as a policy maker in Colombia from her new home town.

Idiosyncratic, Rotterdam-based band Tommy Moustache released their debut album in late 2014, challenging critics to define their ineffable brand of raw, instrumental jazz. After bedazzling the stages of reputable Dutch festivals like the North Sea Jazz festival, Jazzfest, Jazz International and being voted audience choice in the 2016 edition of the Dutch Jazz Competition they have come up with a new masterpiece: “EGO”, full of daring improvisation, rock riffs, humor, mood swings, rhythmic and melodic adventures and everything else these four men, supporting appropriate facial hair, could come up with.

We would like to invite you to a new edition of the art & dinner event Natafelen on Friday 5 July 2019. This event marks the start of the summer and the end of the cultural season. We will also say goodbye to the visual artists whose work is exhibited in De stad, de stad (The City, the City). All the more reason to come and enjoy dinner surrounded by art at Garage Rotterdam.

Welcome to this years final Bcademie show. The Bcademie is an institute that coaches recently graduated art students. The founders Alex Jacobs and Daan den Houter and guest art-professionals help the students in finding their ways in the Universe of the Arts.
The Bcademie’s goal is to close the gap between the graduation and the practice of an autonomous visual artist.
In this eclectic show Bcademie-participants and guest lecturers will exhibit their work in two predesigned cubes.
