Webdossier
Spelen - Play

This autumn marks the fourth year in a row that Stroom organizes an exhibition in Atrium City Hall The Hague. The exhibition Play your city (Speel je stad) zooms in on the importance of outdoor play, a physical interaction with the urban environment, a view of the city as a playground and what the contribution of art could be in this field. The exhibition features a.o. scale models of a selection of Art-at-school projects initiated by Stroom, and the video The Voice of Children by the British collective Assemble (winners Turner Prize 2015). In addition, the exhibition design actively invites visitors to come and play.

Parallel to Play your city (Speel je stad), but from an entirely different perspective, Stroom presents the exhibition Céline Condorelli: Proposals for a Qualitative Society (Spinning), also focusing on what play means for the city and for the society we live in (9 September - 19 November 2017).
