Open 18 2030 War zone Amsterdam

What are the implications of urban warfare in a Western city? Is there a public domain under such circumstances and how does it function? Will people still be producing art, and how will artists reach their public?

2030: War Zone Amsterdam is being produced in association with curator Brigitte van der Sande and accompanies an international art manifestation that she is organizing under the same title, presented in various phases from November 2009 onwards in Amsterdam.

With contributions by Frank Furedi, Kenan Malik, Eyal Weizman, Willem Schinkel, Dirk van Weelden, Matteo Pasquinelli, Tom McCarthy, Gert Jan Kocken, John Armitage & Paul Virilio and Adi Kaplan & Shahar Carmel.
