CUTS
FOR
PURPOSE

Cut For Purpose is the first project of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s Stadsredactie (City Editorial Board). This project, produced in collaboration with Stealth.[u]ltd, examines how urban dynamics can find their way into the museum space.

To facilitate this, a grid of larger than man-sized cardboard sheets fills the entire space of the Straatgalerij. Within this structure, spaces will be purpose-cut to house a variety of activities. After the nine weeks the remaining structure will represent an imprint of all the activities that have taken place.

The cardboard structurecreates a temporary condition in the Straatgalerij that invites exploration, participation and reflection. Its programming examines the interests and needs of the Stadsredactie, the artists, the museum and the city itself within the framework of this cardboard structure and consists of a variety
of activities including film screenings, solo interventions, video presentations and
gatherings. There will also be residencies for a writer, an artists’ initiative and a design studio.

Out of interest as to the needs, discussions and questions current in Rotterdam, the Stadsredactie has also issued an Open Call to artists, design-ers and theoreticians to react to the cardboard structure. Three of the respondents have been invited to make a contribution to Cut for Purpose and to implement their proposal in the Straatgalerij.

Cut for Purpose will end with a finissage on Saturday April 22 at which the results of the
project will be presented.

Cucosa is one of Rotterdam’s rich assortment of artists’ initiatives. Founded in 1998, the group now comprises sixteen individuals who work together collaboratively. The group’s multidisciplinary composition results in a diversity of visions, which take the form of workshops, exhibitions and other collaborative projects in the Netherlands and abroad. Examples include Cucosa Export, De Lauwseizoensexpo, Vreemde Eenden, Nieuw Space and z.t. (Project Rotterdam).
Cucosa has always been independent and autonomous. The group has no director and no centralised policy. Each individual action or decision leads to the development of a contribution to the whole. The Stadsredactie has invited the artists of Cucosa to implement their practice within Cut for Purpose.
