Sprung as reaction from the cancellation of a gallery show due to the pandemic outbreak, Daniele Scauso's outdoor exhibition MyBellamy has been the result of a collective effort between the artist and the community of the Bellamystraat, the street in Amsterdam where his studio is located.
For two months the Bellamystraat became an open-air gallery, open 24/7 with sculptures hanging like jewelry on hijsbalken (the iconic roof-hooks of Amsterdam's houses) and behind windows, for residents and passers-by to enjoy.
"It has been fantastic to see so much enthusiasm and collaborative support from the people I approached asking to use their houses for exhibiting my work publicly. Deeply, I guess everyone liked very much the idea to act collectively into turning a problem into an opportunity. I believe there was a strong the need for that". DS
A violin serenade performed by Tessel Hersbach closed MyBellamy Street Exhibition, for the delight of each artworks and of the local residents.
