De Fluyt en de Hoi (2019)

Curated by Paul Elliman

Rib Gallery

Rotterdam, Netherlands

De Fluyt en de Hoi, was an exhibition and series of activations curated by Paul Elliman. Throughout the course of the year, a group of artists overlapped and contributed collectively to the functioning of the building and its outer extensions. Based around a specific street address and what happens within and nearby, De Fluyt en de Hoi attempts to extend a motivating interest that Elliman shares with the participating artists: that art can appear in the functioning form of any of those parts of the world that it might claim to be reporting or establishing a connection with. In July, I built a new boat in Rib Gallery, where it will be displayed throughout the year. I will return to navigate the tides through the port and canals of Rotterdam.
