Under the moniker Give us the Museum, author Arnon Grunberg and a group of artists and designers who have recently moved to the Netherlands live at the Stedelijk Museum for the duration of the month of May. In the mornings they act in several capacities, ranging from gallery guards to art restorers and covering anything from the marketing department to temporary directorship. In the afternoons they work on their own projects at the museum.
On the evening of Friday June 1st, the project Give us the museum will be rounded off with a presentation of the works produced by the 17 newcomer artists in the project, as well as several debates and performances. Besides the question 'Who does the museum belong to?', this event will be about what European culture is, and how much shared identity is needed in order to coexist more or less peacefully. Does Europe need clearly demarcated borders, and how important are they? Where exactly is Europe located?
This is also the aim of the Forum on European Culture (an initiative by De Balie & DutchCulture). The closing event of Give us the museum on Friday evening 1 June is co-curated by and part of the second edition of the biennale - Act For Democracy!
