Special newsletter: summer 2018
|
|
With a busy summer approaching, we look back with us once again freshly printed Annual Review 2017 in hand. It contains a lot of information, photos and figures about the previous year: that's how we learn that TENT 2386 was opened for hours, when new programs were delivered to 10 in public spaces through our programs BKOR en Sculpture International Rotterdam, and that exactly 100 new artists signed up at CBK R'dam's Art Office (with which the counter now appears on 1450). We also reached more than 6000 children and adults with our education program.
We are also looking ahead to the opening of the first solo exhibition from Rotterdam artist Esther Kokmeijer in TENT, next Thursday. Then we toast (with an alcoholic snack at the bar) to this project about the different manifestations of water in which Kokmeijer takes us along in her observations about humans and their natural environment. Read more about these and other activities in the coming months in this special summer newsletter!

On Thursday evening, Esther Kokmeijer's first major solo exhibition will open in TENT, which is entirely devoted to water. With existing and new work, including an igloo of air conditioners and a rain chapel made of salt, Kokmeijer takes us along in her observations about man and his natural environment. The exhibition is about the wonderful relationship between the three states that water (H2O) can assume: solid, liquid and gas: Solid, Liquid, Vapor.

View the 2017 Annual Review now
|
|
From the foreword: “In this annual review you will find a kaleidoscopic overview of what CBK Rotterdam was involved in in 2017. It is of course a selection, but I hope that this will give you an idea of the many activities, projects, collaborations, et cetera with which we have manifested ourselves in that year. And I hope that, like me, you will be filled with pride in the artists and our city. In that order."
