The city designers of 2019 are known!

#CBKRDAMMADE POSSIBLE
|
|
After a successful pilot project in 2018 in which ten Rotterdam artists captured ten different buildings by the Rotterdam architect Hugh Maaskant, the City Archives and CBK Rotterdam, in collaboration with the Kunsthal, decided to commission a number of artists to record the city every year. At the beginning of 2019, they called on Rotterdam artists to send in documentation on the basis of which a jury made a choice for the new city artists of 2019. This call was answered with 72 submissions that together nicely reflect the idiosyncratic character of Rotterdam's culture.
The jury wants to make its choice known with great conviction and pleasure. The Rotterdam City Designers are 2019 Cox Janssens, Kay Hessels and Isra Páez.

This exhibition examines the Rotterdam solidarity movement that emerged after the coup in Chile in 1973, where President Salvador Allende and his cabinet were relieved of power. Thousands of Chileans came to Rotterdam, where they stood at the basis of various works of art, with André van der Louw, mayor of Rotterdam in the 1974-1981 period, as the central figure.

Embellishment at Voorschoterlaan

#work in progress

In 2015, a number of local residents started the Kunst op de Kop project to tackle the clutter at the head of the Voorschoterlaan. The aim is not only to beautify the street, but also to create something special at the entrance of the Voorschoterlaan. BKOR looked at ideas and designs together with local residents and joined forces to realize a work of art by Ron van der Ende.
