<big><big><b>eTextile Sweatshop</b></big></big><br>
Various Workshops and marsterclasses: November 21 – 28<br>
V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10, Rotterdam<br>
<br>
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. <b>Official opening: Tonight (Nov 21
17:00-18:00).</b><b><br>
</b> <br>
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.

<big><big><b>Blowup: Speculative Realities</b></big></big><br>
December 8 – January 12<br>
Roodkapje, Meent 121-133 Rotterdam<br>
<br>
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.<br>
