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.
