Tijdelijk Museum

Description

The Temporary Museum was an art exhibition in the former prison “Bijlmerbajes” in Amsterdam. It was a continuation of the Temporary Museum in another vacant, iconic building in the city: the former Shell Tower (now “A’DAM Toren”), and in the near future the Temporary Museum will rise up again at another special location. The exhibition in the prison explored connections with the new residents of the – equally temporary – asylum seekers’ centre set up there. The participating artists and designers were invited to make new work for the occasion. Examples include Leonard van Munster’s tree fountain in the courtyard, Teun Castelein’s Bijlmer Hammam in an old cell block, Mayra Sérgio’s tea landscape and Jan Hoek’s transformed scooters.
