ONGOING: Premiere film by Jan Dibbets realised in the context of 'Portscapes', a series of new commissions in and around Maasvlakte 2, Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, throughout 2009
On Sunday 14 June the 2009 version of Jan Dibbets' '6 Hours Tide Object with Correction of Perspective' will be premiered at 'Futureland', the Maasvlakte 2 visitor centre in Rotterdam, close to where it was filmed on 8 February 2009. The film will be screened every Sunday until 5 July, and will also be shown in New York during our participation in 'NO SOUL FOR SALE - A Festival of Independents' (24-28 June, 1–9pm). For info on the screenings schedule please check our blog or Portscapes' website in the forthcoming days. Map to get to Futureland.
'Portscapes' is an accumulative series of newly commissioned projects that will take place throughout 2009 alongside the construction of ‘Maasvlakte 2’, a 2,000 hectare area of reclaimed land that will extend the Port of Rotterdam, Europe's largest seaport and industrial area. + info...
The exhibition will reflect on the heritage industry and the museumification of history, as well as the creation, transmission and fidelity of cultural worth. The artists share an aesthetic and pragmatic concern with the principle of the personal archive or the pre-museal wunderkammer – the categorization and veracity of objects, images and words is always provisional. + info

The Garden of Forking Paths brings together the work of five artist-duos to consider duality, simultaneity, saturation and proliferation. The exhibition pursues, on the one hand, the implications of two individuals working together as a single author-function and, on the other, operates alongside artwork concerned with the reproducibility of images. + info...
