Irregular meetings and presentations of rotterdam based artists, designers and architects (on invitation only)
> Organised by Marjolijn Dijkman / David Maroto and TENT. Rotterdam
> For information about the evenings and personal invites please contact Tent.
Corrillos is an ongoing series of presentations by and for artists, architects, designers and theoreticians based in Rotterdam. The program tries to get insight in the particular art scene in Rotterdam, which mainly works and exhibit outside of their hometown. The Spanish word Corrillos stands for an informal meeting of people who casually gather together and discuss whatever topic in a non-hierarchic way. The program of Corrillos will consist of two presentations, try to challenge its formats and will each time have a different host.
For this project a publication is developed that can be collected during the project. The cover with two invitation cards was send at the start of the project and the invitationcards can be collected to create a publication mapping the Rotterdam artscene after a series of Corrillos evenings.

Lara Almarcegui
I want to question urban planning through the study of places which ascape a fixed definition of city or of architecture: empty lots, waste lands, demolition sites; places which due the forgetfulness or lack of interest escape a defined design and are open to all kind of possibilities.
Jan Jongert (2012 Architects)
2012 Architects was founded in 1997 and has three partners: Cesare Peeren, Jeroen Bergsma and Jan Jongert. All are deeply committed to recycling or 'reuse' as an integral design strategy'. Their activities are not just limited to architecture but also extend into other field of design and art.
