Slapen en debatteren op de bouwplaats

Leeg woonblok wordt hotel en congrescentrum tijdens de bouwvak. Er is nog plaats!

Tijdens de bouwvakvakantie wordt in de nieuwe Amsterdamse wijk IJburg op de bouwplaats van woonblok 18 een tijdelijk hotel en congresruimte ingericht. Waar straks huizen en een centrum voor vrije tijd gevestigd zijn, wordt komende week een volledig hotel ingericht. Compleet met conferentieruimtes, bibliotheek, restaurant en 50 één- of tweepersoonskamers. De ruimtes worden bijna geheel ingericht met bouwmaterialen en zijn een ontwerp van de jonge kunstenaars/ontwerpers Maartje Dros en Francois Lombarts. Dit unieke instant hotel is onderdeel van Out of The Blue, het slotprogramma van het vierjarige kunstproject Het Blauwe Huis wat eind 2009 haar deuren sluit.

Van 3 tot en met 9 augustus 2009 vindt er in dit tijdelijke hotel een internationaal symposium plaats over Instante Stedelijkheid, Gastvrijheid en Collectieve Narrativiteit. Deelnemers van uit de hele wereld hebben zich al aan gemeld om onderleiding van Paul O’Neill (kunstnaar/curator, University of the West of England, Bristol), Johan Siebers (filosoof University of London) en STEALTH.unilimited (architectenbureau, Rotterdam/Belgrado) de ontwikkeling van IJburg en andere stedelijke gebieden kritisch te bekijken. Hiervoor heeft curator Yane Calovski een divers programma van lezingen, workshops en veldonderzoek samengesteld en wordt de toekomstige sporthal van IJburg, nu nog een lege betonnen bak, via enkele ingrepen ingericht als multifunctionele conferentieruimte.

Out of The Blue is ontwikkeld door Jeanne van Heeswijk en Dennis Kaspori in samenwerking met Floris Heynsbergen. Een week lang zijn er gasten aanwezig als Basak Senova (NOMAD-TV), Maria Fusco (Goldsmiths), Emiliano Gandolfi (curator architectuur biënnale Venetië 2008), Maaike Engelen (filosoof), Tor Lindstrand en Mårten Spångberg (International Festival), Volker Schneider (Speedliner Co./Ernst Bloch Assoziation), Manuela Zechner (Future Archive) en Sally Tallant (Serpentine). Maar natuurlijk vind je er ook Blauwe Huis bewoners als Mauricio Corbalan, Barbara Holub en Paul Rajakovics, Rudy J. Luijters, Sonia Boyce en Igor Dobricic. Jeanne van Heeswijk, Dennis Kaspori en Yane Calovski zijn tevens aanwezig als gastvrouw/heer van het hotel.

Het woonblok is voor drie weken beschikbaar gesteld door aannemer Moes Bouwgroep en ontwikkelaar De Key - De Principaal. Het biedt de mogelijkheid IJburg tijdelijk te voorzien van functies die komende jaren nog niet op het eiland aanwezig zijn. Een unieke manier dus om invulling te geven aan locaties wanneer deze vanwege vakantie of recessie niet in gebruik zijn. Het hotel biedt dagelijks plaats aan 50 symposiumdeelnemers en daarnaast zijn er per dag nog 50 extra plaatsen in de congresruimte.

Out of The Blue is ontwikkeld met partner organisaties Locating the Producers, ProjectBase, ECREA, The Art of Urban Intervention. Het is mogelijk gemaakt door Moes Bouwgroep, De Key - De Principaal en met steun van AFK, Cultural Programme of European Union, Mondriaan Stichting, Stichting DOEN en SNS REAAL Fonds.

An international symposium on Instant Urbanism, Hospitality and Accelerated History. August 3rd - 9th 2009 To register please contact: Irene den Hartoog, Production Manager at: info@blauwehuis.org You can find more information on the program and the participants by going to 'Out of the Blue' on the left side of this page. Deadline for registration: Monday, July 31th, 2009 Out of The Blue is an international symposium organized by The Blue House (Het Blauwe Huis) focusing on three main navigational strands in understanding experimental communities: Instant Urbanism, Hospitality and Accelerated History. Out of The Blue is as a discursive forum where a number of investigative questions will be articulated via workshops, intense dialogues, in-conversations, study sessions, public deliberation plenaries, performances, and discussions with a number of guests on stage. The initiator and main organizer is The Blue House, a four-year durational project initiated in IJburg, a new city extension of Amsterdam. IJburg is a major new urban district being developed on a cluster of man-made islands to the east of Amsterdam city centre. The whole development is governed by a highly detailed plan, the implementation of which is strictly regulated. In 2005, artist Jeanne van Heeswijk arranged for a large villa in housing 'Block 35' to be taken off the private market and be re-designated as a space for community research, artistic production and cultural activities. In cooperation with Dennis Kaspori and Hervé Paraponaris The Blue House has acted as a centre for artistic and cultural production and research into what happens when such a radical approach to urban planning and community development is employed. Out of The Blue will take place in the future 'Activity Centre' on the island presently under construction. The still concrete structure will be used as a temporal public faculty, a 50-room motel and an amphitheatre. The design is made by Maartje Dros and Francois Lombarts. The curator of the symposium is Yane Calovski. It is part of Blue House project 'Parade of Urbanism' from Jeanne van Heeswijk and Dennis Kaspori in collaboration with Floris van Heynsbergen. Symposium program: Instant Urbanism: All for the love of Instant Urbanism Organized with Ana Dzokic and Marc Neelen (STEALTH.unlimited, Rotterdam / Belgrade). 'All for the love of Instant Urbanism' brings together a group of people involved with and troubled by the necessity for a more future oriented instant creation and collectivity in the city. It blends a workshop, performance and discussions with a number of guests on stage, while setting out for the slippery grounds of even newer horizons. Participants will include: Tor Lindstrand and Mårten Spångberg, International Festival, Stockholm; Emiliano Gandolfi, Cohabitation Strategies, independent curator and architect, Rotterdam; Dubravka Sekulic, architect and researcher, Belgrade / Jan van Eyck Academy, Maastricht; Harold Guyaux, Recetas Urbanas, Sevilla; Manuela Zechner, Future Archive, London; and Anja Kanngieser, University of Melbourne, Australia), Eva de Klerk, project booster and concept developer, NDSM wharf, Amsterdam, Jeanne van Heeswijk and Dennis Kaspori, Rotterdam, IJburg inhabitants and Blue House members: Howard Chan, m7red (Mauricio Corbalán and Pio Torroja), Rudy J.

Hospitality: Hospitality, Privacy, Place Organized with Dr. Johan Siebers (Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies School of Advanced Study, University of London). 'Hospitality, Privacy, Place' is a two-day workshop that will explore the dialectic between these concepts in the context of the question what it means to build and develop a community that can be a mirror of Europe, both mediating and shaping its course.

Accelerated History: Is Time Enough? Duration, Location and Accelerated Histories Organized with Dr. Paul O’Neill (artist - curator and GWR Research Fellow in Commissioning with Situations, University of the West of England, Bristol). This strand of the symposium takes a speculative look at how duration and the evolutionary process of time is conceived of as part of new cumulative approaches to artistic, organizational and curatorial praxis in response to a specific locations and contexts. Centered around a series of intense dialogues and in-conversations, this strand aims to unpack key issues relating Durational approaches to Participatory Praxis, Collaboration and Play, Communities and Social Engagement, Organizational Models and Networks, Critical Writing and Pedagogy. Participants will include: Sally Tallant (Head of Programmes, Serpentine, London) and Jonathan Banks (Exec. Director, ixia – the UK national public art think-tank), curator Sophie Hope (co-founder of B+B) and writer-curator Eva Fotiadi, artists Barbara Holub & Paul Rajakovics (Transparadiso) and Mick Wilson (Dean of GradCam, Dublin), writer Ned Rossiter (author of ‘Organized Networks’) and Paul O’Neill with a writing workshop on duration led by Maria Fusco (Writer and Director of Art Writing, Goldsmiths, London), Venessa Vasic Janekovic (Intern, Situations, Bristol), Christoph Schaefer (Park Fiction, Hamburg) and Basak Senova (curator and designer, Nomad.tv and assistant professor, Kadir Has University.
