From jo at xs4all.nl Fri Nov 27 13:13:58 2009 From: jo at xs4all.nl (Jo van der Spek M2M) Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:13:58 +0100 Subject: 2030: War Zone Amsterdam Message-ID: 2030: War Zone Amsterdam is an exercise in imagining the unimaginable: a state of war in your own city in the year 2030. A cease-fire has just been announced, and a group of international artists, theatre makers, filmmakers, journalists and intellectuals go out into the city to investigate what the war has done to Amsterdam and its inhabitants. M2M participates as embedded reporters and infiltrating artists. Listen to Khaled Hourani from Ramallah and Tony Chakar from Beirout On Saturday 28 November the first phase of the multiyear event 2030: War Zone Amsterdam will be launched in Mediamatic in the Vijzelstraat, with Blitz presentations by thirty international artists and collectives. Curator Brigitte van der Sande developed the project on the basis of an idea of Partizan Publik. On the same occasion the special issue of Open, Cahier on Art and the Public Domain # 18 will be launched.
