with carl and saara in tow (and jose refusing to wake up), off i went to amsterdam to check out droogs installation of urban play. we ran into mie and peter and few other DAE friends and went on probably the funnest opening i've been to! urban play is a series of installations meant to have people interact with their city.
the opening consisted of an opening speech by renny ramakers of droog, two bikes with big crates full of food and beer, and beginning at the stephen sagmeister text-based installation of 300 000 eurocent pieces, we embarked on a journey along the banks of the ij river and experienced urban play. it was all part of a large exhibit called experimenta design. it's a biennial event, the first time in holland, and now every other year in lisbon. there was a series of speakers this week which i couldn't make it to, and little shows around the city.
there's more photos as always now on my flikr page. soon i will let you all know about the gijs bakker lecture from last week (have to go through my notes first!)
much love.
