Walk-in-Reader

Walk-In-Reader was a collaborative project made together with the artists group De Geuzen from Amsterdam . The idea was to inhabit a space in De Appel and change it into our working / event space. Our subject of discussion was the contemporary city, especially looking into Case Study: Amsterdam. At the time there has been a lots of new developments happening in the city, re-shaping Amsterdam quite dramatically not without the consequences. We were trying to analyze the situation. Since we were not interested only in the official planning point of view invited into the discussion also other professionals who live in the city: different artists, whose work was focused on the subject of the city, different professionals (social geographers, urban planners, architects, etc.) to give lectures, performances, workshops, guided tours of the city etc., in order to question the idea of the city and look into how it is perceived and conceived by various social groups. We developed a programme of different events that would take place during the time of the exhibition. The books and videos that we collected on the subject could be viewed at our specially furnished space.
