As part of the Co-Speaking programme of “You Must Make Your Death Public”, ruangrupa the curators of SONSBEEK ’16 will join in at de Appel arts centre to talk about their practice in Jakarta and the way they transported it to Arnhem. Ruangrupa team member, SONSBEEK International, and some participating artists will be present in this presentation.

About ruangrupa
ruangrupa consists of about 40 artists, curators, architects, writers and historians. ruangrupa is fascinated by, and actively engaged in the issue of the common right to the city. It is known for its long-term research projects into (large) urban developments in which a relationship is established between public space, people/the public and an expanded understanding of art. This has led to unique observation methods and approaches to implementation that ruangrupa has realised through artistic events in, among other places, Jakarta, Istanbul, Sydney and Sao Paulo.
