V2_Newsletter, April 2010

At V2_, April is all about "The World in a Shell", an ambitious project
by artist Hans Kalliwoda, which we are presenting in partnership with 
the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi). We invite you to the 
official opening from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 27, outside the 
NAi. You are also very welcome to take part in the seminar, workshop and 
special city walk we are organizing in conjunction with the exhibition.


The World in a Shell Program:

(Sunday 11:00-17:00)
Outside the NAi, Museumpark 25, Rotterdam
Admission: free

The World in a Shell is a high-tech container that can be converted
into a museum, cinema or laboratory. The container is completely
self-sufficient and will serve as Hans Kalliwoda’s home for the next
five years, taking him to eleven UNESCO World Heritage sites. During the
trip, Kalliwoda will organize cultural projects for and with local
populations.

Seminar
"Art-Architecture-Science Collaboration in Sustainability"

In this seminar, we will conduct an in-depth exploration of
interdisciplinary collaborative projects like /The World in a Shell/
that involve artists, architects and scholars. Is sustainability an
ideal in art? How can artistic and scholarly research enhance each other
in this area? And are these forms of collaboration themselves sustainable?

For one day, The World in a Shell will be the site of an ideal
autonomous society. The workshop leaders will build a bakery in the
container for the occasion. As the group collectively bakes bread the
old-fashioned way, existing power structures will be made the subject of
debate.
