From 1 July to 28 August the Italian artist Daniele Scauso is holding a unique solo exhibition in Amsterdam by the name: A M U L E T S - offline art for Bellamy. By reinventing the use of private and public spaces and by using local architectural elements, the exhibition is a community-driven experiment for developing of unconventional channels for exhibiting art in urban context. The result is a neighborhood transformed into an open-air gallery, open 24/7 - for two months, for residents and passers-by to enjoy. Like amulets - objects with the purpose to beautify and protect, the artist's sculptures and installation are a homage to this neighborhood, its residents and everyday life. AMULETS is an independent initiative realized with a crowdfunding action. Special thanks go to the 91 individual donors that supported this project from many different countries, to the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, the Prins Bernhard CultuurFonds Noord-Holland, voordekunst, the Bellamy Kabinet, The Metaal Atelier Meister, the Zimmerhoeve Kinderboerderij, and the residents of the Bellamybuurt whose support and engagement made this project possible. |
