Exibition Idea

Posted by Björn König on 17.07

Today we met at de Balie to brainstorm how the exhibition and publication could look. We heard from the NAi that our space will be a 3×3m room, and we developed the following concept:

exibition idea

As our space is located at the exit point of the “collective city” exhibition, the idea is to build a portico entrance in the space, either at the exit from the rest of “collective city”  exhibition (conceptual coherence) OR as the exit into the stairwell to the rest of the “open city” exhibition (visual coherence? – exit into the stairwell).

A stack of newspapers will allow visitors to take home the content of our exhibition, while newspapers in the rack will be for on site consumption.

Mock-up Portico entrance at the biennial exit (collective city section):
- two sofa-chairs
- stack of give away newspapers
- bulletin board
- newspaper rack (grand cafe style)
- painted wall (funky -cheapest- green)
- code-lock/intercom on the door
- extra authentic details … like garden, etc
