ART BRINGS COLOUR TO THE ZUIDAS

The Virtual Museum Zuidas had an extremely productive year in 2009. Large works
by the artists Krijn de Koning and Giny Vos were completed in public space. As far as
temporary projects go, the VMZ organized the 1st CASZuidas Urban Screen Festival
as well as two exhibitions in De Kapel, one by Meinbert Gozewijn van Soest and one
titled ‘Domesticated Wilderness’ on ecology and greenery in the new city. Writers,
among them K. Schippers, described the Zuidas in a personal manner in the book
‘Vanuit de Zuidas’. These activities did not go unnoticed in the press. The Financieele Dagblad put the opening of the light artwork by Giny Vos on its front page, the Parool gave special attention to Krijn de Koning, NRC was enthusiastic about ‘Domesticated Wilderness’
and the Groene Amsterdammer wrote extensively on ‘Vanuit de Zuidas’. Through 12 March, the exhibition that concludes the fourth edition of Zuidas Free Spaces A.I.R. is being held in De Kapel. Featuring fi ve special artists – see pages 4 and 5.
