*****************************************

Artist laurie halsey brown will launch beingthere.v2.r'dam.05 during the
finissage weekend of INFRActures. A bus tour through the city will
create
a synthesis with the surrounding urban environment and heighten an
awareness of the city's identity.

The bus tour includes an onboard experimental documentary of local
architects discussing the validity of the city's slogan "The City of
Architecture", with a focus on 10 sites built by local architects:
Schouwburgplein [West 8], Putselaan [De Nijl Architecten], 25kv [Mei
Architecten], Van Nelle Fabriek [renovation: Wessel de Jong
Architecten],
V2 Lab [Lars Spuybroek/NOX], Purifying Plant/Smoke Cleaner [Maarten
Struijs/Gemeentewerken Rotterdam], Lijnbaan [Van den Broek en Bakema],
Fast Ferry [Daf], Maashaven O.Z [Bekkering Adams Architecten] and
Stadstuinen/Kop van Zuid [Joke Vos Architecten].

This event also includes access to a public intervention project placed
throughout the city, launch of net.art piece welkom 2 r'dam as well as
stopping at two of the sites for 'architectural' food + a performance at
one of the sites.

beingthere.v2.r'dam.05 is an intra-disciplinary project which includes
components that will also be shown after the launch event:

Localiteit en Identeit: an experimental documentary that will be shown
on
the bus tour, and shown in the future in an installation format.

PUBLIC DOCUMENT: a 30 min. experimental documentary that focuses on
author/user dialogue in relation to the 10 sites that are the focus of
the
bus tour.

welkom 2 r'dam: A net.art piece that uses the language and strategies of
a
tourist site, it is designed to 'promote' dialogue about Rotterdam
identity.

Poster/Brochure + Public Intervention: Posters will be placed throughout
the city to surround 10 locally built sites stating that 'the building
was
built by a local architect' and that r'dam has the largest quantity [and
quality] of architects of any other city in the world but that very few
of
these architects build for the city.

This project is funded by Stimuleringsfonds voor Architectuur.
