ART SCIENCE dialogue: Tanja Engelberts (Special Amsterdam Art Week)
VU ART SCIENCE gallery warmly invites you to visit the ART SCIENCE dialogue during Amsterdam Art Week on Wednesday 21 May, from 16:00 to 18:00.
This dialogue is organised by the gallery to accompany the exhibition Water Views the VU ART SCIENCE together with other ART SCIENCE dialogues in which the topic will be explored from a multidisciplinary perspective. Artists and scientists together with the audience will explore several views on water from the colonial trade routes to the ecological impact of our changing climate, to old and new aquatic thinking.
This first ART SCIENCE dialogue of this exhibition will focus on the work of Tanja Engelberts and her project, We are multiple. Inspired by Bruno Latour’s The Parliament of Things, Tanja Engelberts examined the river Rhône from an animistic point of view. She has tried to imagine what it’s like to be a fast-flowing river, slowly filling with Anthropocene-era artifacts over a 600 kilometer stretch. A landscape steeped in chemical waste, that’s slowly disappearing due to climate change.
The talk will be led by Manuela Zammit and will take place in the gallery (De Boelelaan 1111, Amsterdam).
