Kunstvlaai is a multi-day celebration of art(ist-run) initiatives. Every two years, Kunstvlaai provides initiatives a platform to meet, discuss, and exchange ideas. This tenth edition takes place in the Amstelpark, an extensive park in Amsterdam. Critical engagement with space and alternative approaches to production and exhibition formats are central for Kunstvlaai 2014, corresponding to its unconventional location.
Kunstvlaai stimulates artistic production by inviting initiatives to realize site-specific art works that will be on view during the event itself. Around 50 local and foreign art initiatives present themselves by means of a spatial intervention in the Amstelpark.
For Kunstvlaai 2014 GREEN IS GOLD and its two artists, Ditte Knus Tønnesen (DK) and Amalie Bønnelycke Lunøe (DK), focus on the vertical exhibition space by introducing a beehive to Amstelpark, allowing the bees to fill the air. Along side the real beehive Knus Tønnesen and Lunøe exhibits a 1-1 scale model of a beehive cast in cement. In relation to each other the two objects begin a conflicted conversation discussing matters of materiality, habitat, society and environmental concerns.
Spaces in Dialogue, is a three-day programme of round-table discussions, which facilitates new dialogue between initiatives curated by Kunstvlaai.
GREEN IS GOLD is participating in the dialogue regarding The Different Manifestations of the Initiative: Online/Magazine. Central to this session are initiatives that manifest themselves online or as a magazine.
The dialogue will begin on Friday 23rd May from 16:15. Everyone is welcome.
GREEN IS GOLD also participates in the dialogue regarding Space and context: White Cube: how do art(ist-run) initiatives use the classical, ´neutral´, white cube.
The dialogue will begin Friday 23rd May from 18:30. Everyone is welcome.
