The Street of Sculptures is the organiser of a recurring art project
in the public domain of the Bijlmermeer. In five large-scale art
events, artists from the Netherlands and abroad investigate both the
history and the more recent development of this renowned district of
Amsterdam. The artists will be presenting temporary or (semi-)
permanent projects that contribute to the area's heritage in situ,
most of them newly created works.
The Third Sculpture (May–July 2012) investigates the relevance and
impact of a large-scale art event for the specific architectural and
social environment of the Bijlmer. The aim is to use art projects,
which have for the most part been inspired by site-specific research,
as a means to draw local, national and international attention to the
Bijlmer's specific social and physical architecture in an innovative
way.
The Third Sculpture International Conference functions as an
introduction to the manifestation that will be staged in 2012. The
Bijlmer is both the starting point and the subject. The symposium will
explore ways in which visual art might actively function in this urban
environment and within the specific social and economic context.
Is it possible to propagate an artistic legacy that establishes a
connection between 'the collective' (the history, the collective
memory, the interaction) and 'the autonomous' (the work of art), one
that sparks a mutual curiosity and sets both aspects in a new light?
Is it conceivable that artistic expressions will be absorbed into the
social environment, and thus shift into a different context?
