Actie!

A collective exhibition activating timespace(s)

On May 27-28th, the graduating students of the ArtScience Interfaculty will present: 'Actie!' - a three day collective exhibition activating timespace(s)

We are 16 individuals (see list below) from various horizons and areas of expertise, coming together to propose an experimental approach to artistic presentation.

The exhibition consists of performances and installation art, live acts, and audiovisual media art in which the visitor moves from space to space in a journey of unexpected and energizing experiences. During our exhibition, we invite the audience to put aside the role of the passive spectator and step into the action, through a collection of stimulating devices, constructions, experiences, and narratives. With this selection of artworks, we take our visitors into the world of ArtScience. Actie!

In ArtScience we share an interest in the joyful confusion and the blurring between different disciplines. Situated as an interfaculty joining the Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatoire, the program considers art and science as a continuum and fosters curiosity-driven research as an approach to the making of art.

- Light
- Motion
- Installations
- Performances
- Music

Vision
It is our intention to present the ArtScience Interfaculty as a bustling hive of new developments in artistic practices. We invite the audience to become actively engaged, to be critical, to give feedback, and to reflect with us on the social value of art. We invite you to experience a process-based exhibition as a catalyst for reflection and a trigger for action. It is a sensorial journey driven by the understanding that we are all co-actors of the reality we inhabit.

Financing
For this preview show, we are seeking support from our national and international network. We are currently sponsored by our universities; The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and The Royal Conservatoire. As well as having generated some income from fundraising events, we feel that we can generate the most income to cover our costs by crowdfunding, so we ask you to help contribute to reach our target of 1500 euros and help us complete our vision.

The event is a non-profit, co-funded, and co-supported program that will be accessible free-of-charge to an (inter)national audience.
