For example, you can go to TENT for an exhibition, book presentation and workshops around the question 'Where does culture happen? '. You will also come across a lot of news on the street, such as the three works of art by RoRo Outside, and the recently installed neon graffiti from Libia and Ólafur on the silo of AVL Mundo on the Keileweg. On the websites of BKOR en Sculpture International Rotterdam read more about our Rotterdam art collection: also have a look at the recently added section 'Paintings'for a fresh look at the facades of Rotterdam.

ThE rIGHT TO RighT / WrOnG (2019)

Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson

THE RIGHT TO RIGHT / WORK from Libia Castro and Ólafur Ólafsson can be seen since February at the silo of AVL Mundo on the Keileweg. The flashing neon graffiti alternately reads ThE rGHT tO Right, ThE rGHT tO WrOnG and a new 'word' that combines RighT and WrOnG. This creates the impression of a mystery or paradox. What is right? What is freedom?
