UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

December 13: Presentation at the Architecture Biennale, NAi, Rotterdam

Edited: December 4, 2009
 

Kraken heeft Nederland vormgegeven has been invited by the NAi Rotterdam to participate in the exhibition Open City: Designing Coexistence, part of the 4th Architecture Biennale.

Our exhibition of well known works by our supporters not only shows that availability of space is a fundamental necessity to create work “as such”, but that a freedom unselectively granted is a core prerequisite for political diversity in the realm of the made object. Openness of space is of general importance for fostering production, and especially eminent in regard to its diversity: It grants equal opportunity to everyone, regardless of their alignment with prevalent production concepts. That way, it allows for various and disparate propositions to materialise, propositions that each declaim their own object politics and that eventually emerge into the stock of propositions over which society leads its debate on how life can be led.

Contributing to discussing the Open City with a perspective on work coming from squatting or antikraak production, our exhibition focuses on extracting the political proposition immanent in the featured objects, e.g. towards the tradition or invention of symbols, the materiality of the contemporary home, or their suggestions on the composition of the manufacturing world.
