Bus tour The Common Sense
The release of the third series of episodes in artist Melanie Gilligan's The Common Sense (2014) coincides with a single weekend during which all the project sites are open simultaneously. Co-producers de Appel art centre, Amsterdam, Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory, Utrecht, and De Hallen Haarlem are organizing a bus tour through each city to visit the accompanying programs and three exhibitions as well as Gilligan’s film-shoot locations.
Special guests writer Marina Vishmidt and other special guests give talks throughout the day aboard the bus and at one of Gilligan’s filming locations, the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam, on topics that stem from the film such as affective economies, collectivity, and the problematics of technology. Starting our journey at the Lloyd Hotel, at the end of day we circle back to Amsterdam finishing off the tour at de Appel. We welcome you to join us on this trip, conversing and communalizing on the move!
