Artists’ documentations

Date: 2 - 5 September 1997

In the first week of September 1997, the documentations submitted following a call by Stroom in BK Informatie 1997-5 were presented on the 4th floor of the Spui building. The advertisement stated that the submitted documentations would be publicly exhibited so that a wide audience of interested parties could take note of them. The underlying idea was not only to offer the participating artists a chance at a commission in The Hague but also to raise awareness of their work nationally, thereby increasing their opportunities. The call received responses from 343 artists, including 26 from The Hague. Both the participating artists and numerous commissioning bodies at the national, provincial, and municipal levels were invited to view the presentation—an opportunity many took advantage of.
