INexactly THIS. As a Festival of Independents, it features some of the most significant and unique models of artist-led spaces, self-organized platforms as well as art schools from across The Netherlands and abroad.
Kunstvlaai foundation is pleased to announce that the next edition of Kunstvlaai,
INexactly THIS, will take place from 23rd November to 2nd December 2012 at
a new location: the Sint Nicolaas Lyceum complex at the Amsterdam Zuidas.
Kunstvlaai has been stimulating independent thinking and new forms of collaborations
in the arts for more than ten years. As a ‘Festival of Independents’, Kunstvlaai is committed
to showcasing some of the most significant and unique models of artist-led spaces, self-
organized platforms as well as art schools from across The Netherlands and abroad.
This edition of the festival gives special attention to emerging models and methods of
self-organization and autonomous practice within the arts, constituting active proposals
for the future of the social-cultural field.
INexactly THIS is curated by Natasha Ginwala and Fleur van Muiswinkel. The festival
model developed for ‘INexactly THIS’ draws inspiration from the mathematical equation.
On a metaphorical level, the structure of the equation shares affinities with the functioning
of independent arts initiatives – being a space for tryouts and estimation.
Starting this year the festival will take on a nomadic life, leaving its former premises – the
Westergas Fabriek – to adopt a new location in Amsterdam for each edition. In November
2012, the festival will take place at Amsterdam Zuidas in a former school building situated
close to Amsterdam’s business district. The lyceum is a magnificent historic building that
has had several architectural additions since the 1960s and makes a perfect hosting
platform for the festival’s dynamic structure.
Kunstvlaai: Festival of Independents presents INexactly THIS, a stage for the values
of artistic freedom, curiosity and the need to experiment in a time of urgent questions,
political turmoil and cultural struggle.
The new website for the festival ( www.kunstvlaai.nl ), with more information,
will be launched this July.
Generously supported by
Zuidas and the City of Amsterdam
