Ondertussen: The New Fordist Manifesto

10 January - 15 March 2015
Locatie: Hogewal 1-9, The Hague
Open: Monday-Friday: 11-17 hrs; Saturday-Sunday: 12-17 hrs

The New Fordist Organization is a new collective (founded a few years ago in The Hague) of composers, visual artists and performance artists, set up to apply the principles of mass-production, industrialization and mechanized creation, pioneered by the American industrialist Henry Ford, to the visual and performing arts.

During an artist-in-residency period in GEMAK in The Hague (23 April - 7 June 2013) new methods were developed and tested. Within a period of 48 days the members, Robert Blatt, Andy Ingamells, Ana Smaragda Lemnaru, Miguel Peres dos Santos, David Pocknee, Jeremiah Runnels en Leo Svirsky, created 93 new works, often with the help of audience participation. The New Fordist techniques were applied to a.o. orchestral composition, painting, choreography, spatial work, performance and video.

Ondertussen shows a selection of the works created during the residency, for example video registrations, scores and an extensive publication that looks at The New Fordist Organization from a historical and conceptual perspective.

In 2013 The New Fordist Organization received a PRO Kunstprojectensubsidie for their artist-in-residency period at GEMAK

Ondertussen
The former reception area of Stroom has been converted into a small exhibition space. On a regular basis there are presentations of artists who have received a subsidy in the categories Stroom PRO- and SPOT-grants. The informal exhibitions and presentations are intended to illustrate the diversity of the Stroom grant system. The program in the space is called Ondertussen (the Dutch word for 'meanwhile').
