amsterdam: birdcage episode 2

Thanks Yane for posting the program of the symposium which sounds really inspiring. IJburg was also the location of a nice tour conducted by Thijs de Zeeuw and Frank Rietveld, as part of last year Amsterdam VF workshop on utopias / distopias.

Speaking about Amsterdam, I'll be there this week, bringing the 'birdcage' sound gallery to an empty store located in Zeedijk street. The performative intervention by dj sniff is scheduled for next saturday 04/07 and will feature as well Audrey Chen (US), Wun Thong (AU) and Byungjun Kwon (KR/NL). More info here.
I also look forward in meeting you, Yane, Natasha and Yang Zhifei to hear more about your VF projects.

all the best,

Daniele

Out of The Blue is an international symposium organized by The Blue House (Het Blauwe Huis) focusing on three main navigational strands in understanding experimental communities: Instant Urbanism, Hospitality and Accelerated History. The curator of the symposium is Yane Calovski. It is part of Blue House project 'Parade of Urbanism' from Jeanne van Heeswijk and Dennis Kaspori in collaboration with Floris van Heynsbergen.

Out of The Blue is as a discursive forum where a number of investigative questions will be articulated via workshops, intense dialogues, in-conversations, study sessions, public deliberation plenaries, performances, and discussions with a number of guests on stage.

The initiator and main organizer is The Blue House, a four-year durational project initiated in IJburg, a new city extension of Amsterdam. IJburg is a major new urban district being developed on a cluster of man-made islands to the east of Amsterdam city centre. The whole development is governed by a highly detailed plan, the implementation of which is strictly regulated.
