P/////AKT
For Public Art Amsterdam P/////AKT is collaborating with Museum of…, which has operated on location in the European countryside over the past couple of years but is now manifesting itself in an urban environment for the first time.
The Zeeburgerpad, home base to P/////AKT since its foundation, is located on the border of the Eastern Docklands and the Indische Buurt, or rather, between high-end contemporary architecture and a residential area with a previously bad reputation that has become ultrahip since the end of the financial crisis. This strip is now one of the last fringe areas within central Amsterdam.
For Monument for the White Cube, Museum of… has found a location in a part of eastern Amsterdam where the gentrification hasn’t hit yet, and where there’s still space to experience things differently. Does the white cube still have a raison d’être or is it time to be digging its grave? The curious, adventurous or accidental visitor will find the peace and quiet to contemplate the city, the space for art and art itself. Monument for the White Cube is part of the eastern route, but can only be found through its coordinates.
P/////AKT is an exhibition space that provides a platform for exceptional and developing artistic talent. The focus lies with facilitating large scale solo presentations by younger artists mainly, who are stimulated and challenged to realise something new.
Museum of… is a hidden exhibition space somewhere in the European countryside and can only be found through its coordinates or by chance. It is a place for a one-on-one engagement between art and spectator.
