This is our Living Room project: a physical meeting place for artists,  
thinkers and performers in the neighborhood of Bos en Lommer,  
Amsterdam. It will be a temporary space existing for a period of three  
months which will host contemporary art exhibitions, discursive  
events, music performances and many other cultural activities.

The Living Room is born out of the experience of living and working in  
Amsterdam: a city which hosts a large number of diverse communities  
and serves as a hub for artists and scholars from around the world.

But Amsterdam is also a vivid example of de-politicized and  
consumerized urban environment which is steadily becoming one of the  
main characteristics of our neo-liberal society.

Through The Living Room space we wish to create an artistic and  
intellectual platform that will react to this current situation by  
questioning the notions of Locality, temporality and community in our  
precarious existence.

For those who are familiar with the situation in Amsterdam, finding a  
space is not an easy task. Yet, after months of research and hard work  
we are finally negotiating for a space located near the border of Bos  
en Lommer and de Baarsjes (it's perfect!). With your help as well as  
support from a few local funding bodies, in the next couple of months  
The Living Room will come into its complete being. We have developed  
an exciting and detailed artistic program: featuring new works of  
promising artists, unique collaborations of contemporary performers  
and discussion series' with some of the most interesting activists and  
scholars from contemporary.

Just like in our own homes, The Living Room will be a space for  
congregation, debate and inspiration created by its inhabitants; a  
place for artists to develop their practice, for thinkers to meet  
their audience and for the visitor to engage in a truly contemporary  
experience.

If you've read all this and you want to donate but prefer not do so on  
the internet, contact us here for details.
