also space

back to ‘ALSO SPACE’

ALSO SPACE is a five day exhibition/meeting organised in a hotel in Beijing, taking place from 19th till 23th of December, each day from 13.00 to 23.00. The deliberate choice for such an environment creates an intimate and gentle atmosphere for one to meet with the work, people and ideas. By its location at a small local hotel, we are able to decide in which location of the city we want to be and, secondly, we are able to find a particular contact with an image or artwork. In doing so we ask the visitors both to recall the image of themselves and the image of the artwork.

The participating artists are mostly based in Beijing. They all come from different backgrounds—from musician, documentary maker or writer, to visual artist, architect or dancer. There is no opening nor a closing event, only a sincere offer to join us. An offer to encourage a different approach in this almost impossibly overproductive and hyper-creative world we live in, where we actually are not able to really look at images any longer.

It does not matter what kind of (art)field you find yourself, but it matters that we are able to manifest our common mentality. We found a certain necessity to let this event happen in China and in particular, Beijing.

The artists are brought together by Hai Na (Reinaart Vanhoe) as one of the derives of his stay in Beijing. ALSO SPACE is supported by the The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture. Additional support by the Donkey Institute of Contemporary Art and 家作坊 HomeShop.
