PRIVATE TERRITORY Creative area’s are hot spots to-be. According to creative city spokesman Richard Florida, creative city’s gain value by the people at it’s streets. ‘Private Territory’ presents 10 installation artists, in diversity and through constructions. Architecture and citizenship are closely tied within this construction. Individual and creative citizenship will be displayed by the artists as pillars for the works to rise.
‘Private Territory’ will be displayed through the perspective of the autonomous, self realising attitude of the artists. This self realisation moves within the context of a urban area in development, more specific a creative urban area in development. The installation artworks will be constructed in direct and playful relation to the creative city in general, as concept, and in specific in relation to Strijp S, as creative city in development.
A question that rose parallel to the development of Strijp S asks for the motives and motion that individual, creative entrepreneurs undertake and prefer in relation to the developing creative city, since these people are the basis for the creative dynamics that should evolve out of the promise it proposes. These people will finally carry the city as a whole. (via onomatopee)
