Noordkaap / WhiteBOX, Munich

Noordkaap / 1. City Munich
Adiós Holanda-Noordkaap on tour
WhiteBOX (Munich) from June 24th until July 9th, 2011

Noordkaap is taking on Europe! Noordkaap is an artist-run organization from Dordrecht, the Netherlands, that investigates and translates current issues in society into an engaging, activist, visual art program for a broad audience. From 2011-2013 Noordkaap investigates the influence of populist movements in European society.

In seven cities (respectively Munich, Istanbul, Cologne, Budapest, Lisbon, Brussels and Rotterdam) a series of exhibitions will be realized, with artists producing new work on location. The participating artists are encouraged to respond to local phenomena, folk customs and current social developments.

Noordkaap invited REMOTEWORDS to join the Europe tour and to use the roof of the container, that travels from city to city. REMOTEWORDS will connect the container with specific locations in each hosting city during the two year tour.

The message begins with “I’m..” on the roof of the container – momentarily parked in front of the art space “White Cube” in Munich. The sentence will be continued on the roofs of the upcoming locations.

REMOTEWORDS has inscribed the word ASYL! on the roof of the former customs house in Aachen-Köpfchen at the German-Belgian border. The exclaimed outcry stands for “safe haven” and reminds us that the law of asylum is not a mere modern line of defense but a basic democratic right.

Hacking the City

Hacking the City –
Interventions in public and communicative spaces

The Book

book_hackingthecity_news

The project “Hacking the City” took place on the occasion of the “European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010.” Twenty museums collaborated in a multifaceted common series of exhibitions called “Mapping the Region.” Museum Folkwang contributed with an experimental project which went far away from traditional museum activities. More than thirteen projects in public space, a “Base-Station” in the museum and a homepage (www.hackingthecity.org) were realized.

“Cultural hacking” does not only mean voicing criticism, putting up resistance or even exposing an opponent’s faults—it also signifies innovation.

The reader includes a richly illustrated documentation about all activities and text contributions by artists and theorists, like Boran Burchhardt, Brad Downey, Sabine Fabo, Matthew Fuller, Dagrun Hintze, Anke Hoffmann, Christin Lahr, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Achim Mohné / Uta Kopp, Richard Reynolds, Felix Stalder, Annette Schemmel, Sabine Maria Schmidt, Jörg Steinmann, Michelle Teran, Annette Wehrmann and Georg Winter.
