Location: Museum de Paviljoens, Odeonstraat 3, Almere, Netherlands
Organisation: Museum de Paviljoens and Marjolijn Dijkman
During the last week of the exhibition At Random? Networks and cross-pollinations a workshop will be held in Museum De Paviljoens. The artists and designers participating in this workshop share a common interest in the singularities and peculiarities of specific locations. The workshop focuses on the area F-7, the only plot of land in the heart of Almere that hasn’t been rulerdrawn yet. It is home to temporary buildings and activities: youth housing, coffeeshop De Blowboot, a building materials storage site for the Municipality of Almere, youngsters, school for lower secondary professional education Villa Parkhurst, De Muur – Almere’s grafitti hotspot, carnival trailers and Museum De Paviljoens. This workshop is a follow-up of an earlier workshop in November 2007 in THE ANNEX at the Jan van Eyck, Material Gathering #3

The workshop forms the upbeat to LOCALISMS, an exhibition that focuses on the poetry in the street, the discovery of the (urban) landscape, unnoticed sounds, the investigative look, archives of image and sound, wanderlust and world travellers. The exhibition LOCALISMS starts with a workshop on the 1st of April 2008 with the artists Richard Wentworth, Marjolijn Dijkman Savage, Eric Van Hove, Melle Smets, Maurits Hertzberger, Frank Koolen, Sara Kolster, Derek Holzer, Marc Boon, Kristin Posehn, SoundTransit, Maarten Vanden Eynde en Julie Peeters. During the run of the exhibition new work is developed and new participants will add their observations.
