ART IN REDLIGHT 6

EMPTINESS?

InternatIonal art exhibition at  De Oude KerK An amsterdam

In today’s society ideologies which were once considered to be universal truths are now the subject of constant debate. Conventional morality and values are shifting, creating feelings of displacement. The days when we thought life was stable, settled and safe are well and truly gone and our normal comfort zones are crumbling under the pressure. This process may be slightly unnerving, but it can be quite exciting too! The future is a blank canvass once more, one that we can fill exactly the way we choose to.


And it's this relatively empty landscape that is screaming out to be furnished with innovative technologies, challenging ideas, and inspirational art. On the eve of this new dawn, some thirty national and international artists will be sharing their vision of the vacuum we currently find ourselves in. What's their take on current social issues? In the exhibition Emptiness? their art aims to present graphic answers to these conundrums.

Outside installation

The Bubble Boat is to be one of the exhibition's spin-offs: Created by renowned American artist Eric Staller, it will be cruising along Amsterdam's canals during the exhibition period. So keep your eyes peeled and hop on for a ride!
