This year's Curatorial Training Programme has decided to leave the exhibition spaces of de Appel and realize THE GO-BETWEEN, a series of artists' projects in the Bijlmer.

The Bijlmer, a garden city on the outskirts of Amsterdam, was built according to modernist ideals in the 1960's. Since then it is constantly transforming: ideologically, architectonically and socially. In the Bijlmer, every-day life goes in between the rigidly planned architecture and the foreseen life style: business buildings are used for religious gatherings, self-organized taxi-services provide an alternative income, and small businesses emerge in private apartments. The unique history, as well as, the dynamics of the numerous migrant cultures assembled in this location have been the inspiration for GO-BETWEEN.

The 11 invited artists respond to the Bijlmer and its transformational qualities with their own visual language. They use ephemeral, performative media and invite a diverse audience to both view and take part in their projects.

You can experience the art works between April 11th and April 22nd by following the map and timeline

This map will take you to the different locations: a barbecue pit, the airplane crash memorial, the woods in between the large living blocks, and a private apartment (Florijn 42), which is the homebase of the curators. But watch out! Not everything happens on the same day.
