PROGRAMME CURIOUS
LITTLE
SISTER
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.

Ernest van der Kwast (NL) made a burka-clad assault on literature in 2004 with Man zoekt vrouw om hem gelukkig te maken (Man seeks woman to make him happy). Last year saw the publication of his tragicomic novel ‘Soms zijn dingen mooier als er mensen klappen’ (‘Sometimes things are better when people applaud’). Ernest van der Kwast lives and works in Italy and is the organiser of the Rotterdam’s most straightforward literary event: Nur Literatur.
At the invitation of the Stadsredactie, Ernest van der Kwast will be locked in the Straatgalerij for eight weeks. He will keep a diary about the project Cut for Purpose and will post columns and other snippets of writing in unexpected places. Nobody will escape his gaze. The visitor, the curator, the gallery attendant: everyone is potential prey for Watched, described and caught for Purpose. Whoever takes the bait will be caught on paper and exhibited.
