Art Central Rotterdam XL 2024
Art Central Rotterdam XL 24
OPEN: 2 t/m 4 februari & 9 t/m 11 februari
OPENING: Friday 2 February 19.00hrs till late
The third annual Art Central Rotterdam XL will have a makeover for the year
2024. It will hit the cultural agenda twice! The first episode will take place in the heart of the city between the 2nd and 11th of February 2024 and it will be an official part of the Rotterdam Art Week.
hub, Art Central Rotterdam XL seeks to highlight the cultural fermentation that
is taking place in Rotterdam by bringing together a series of contemporary art
spaces and galleries, local cultural institutions and artist-run spaces under
one roof in a curated exhibition. Marijn Bril, Art Central Rotterdam XL’s
curator, delivers an exhibition that is tailored to the specific dynamics of the
exhibition spaces, creating an engaging experience for visitors on the one
hand, and adding to the opportunity to reach a wider audience on the other.
De GOOT, a very centrally located new cultural venue is chosen to host the
exhibition spread in two spaces on the Beurstraverse 154 & Beurstraverse
111.
BEURSTRAVERSE
An ounce of information is worth a pound of data
Curated by Marijn Bril
Once the financial heart of Rotterdam and now a commercial centre, the
Beurstraverse is a node in a network. The exhibition builds on this context and
examines the economic, transportation, and information systems that converge
there. The stock exchange with buyers and sellers, global trade driven by supply and
demand, and the Internet with its users, servers, and websites – these
interconnected systems are characterized by complexity. Like gears in a machine,
the works in the exhibition collectively explore feedback, control, and errors in a time
defined by interconnectivity and rapid technological change. Do we control our
systems, or do they control us?
