*eTextile Sweatshop*
Various Workshops and marsterclasses: November 21 -- 28
V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam

To support artists working with eTextiles, V2_ installs a temporary 
workshop space exclusively dedicated to the production of eTextiles. We 
bring together rapid prototyping machines typically found in so-called 
Fablabs with machines common to the production of textiles. *Official 
opening: Tonight (Nov 21 17:00-18:00).**

Besides open access to artists working with eTextiles, V2_ is offering 
an extensive workshop and masterclass program. In this program, leading 
artists, expert users, and creative communities dealing with eTextiles 
will transfer their skills and expertise. Check the program at:

*Blowup: Speculative Realities*
December 8 -- January 12
Roodkapje, Meent 121-133 Rotterdam

This edition of Blowup will examine the how and the why of speculative 
realism, object-oriented ontology and artistic practice. Three new art 
commissions examine different aspects of object-oriented ontology (OOO), 
such as a non-human-centered view of the world, and the limits of 
knowledge. An e-book of interviews with artists and thinkers, released 
with a short talk at the exhibition finissage, will round out the 
program and provide insights into the relationship between this exciting 
turn in philosophy and contemporary art and design.
