Kunsthal Rotterdam will join forces with the Netherlands Association of Corporate Art Collections (VBCN) for the exhibition Blue Zone.

Paintings, sculptures, light art, photography, and video art engage in unexpected dialogues throughout the exhibition.

Alicia Framis' SAFE SPACE (2020) will be on display. By Constant Dullaart several works from the series snowww crshahs (2023) are included.
About SAFE SPACE (2020):
Scribbled over with blue pens, the fabric of this work by Alicia Framis literally asks us: is this space safe?
This is a part of Framis’s LifeDress series of dresses made out of airbag fabric from cars: a high-tech material made in Japan which is highly resistant to impact and fire. Each dress is made to protect against a different form of harassment and designed to change form when intimidation occurs.
About snowww crshahs (2023):
This pile of covers displays the various AI-interpretations of Neil Stephenson’s 1992 novel Snow Crash. Hazily conjured as AI was nodding off while reading Hiro Protagnists’s adventures battling a religion-spreading virus spreading through brains. His figure reaches out to us mystifyingly, recognizable but only like through a lucid dream - he appears to us in the only possible moment he could have: any earlier and the AI-tools necessary to generate him would not have been available publicly open-source,
any later and the delirious errors of AI would have been filtered out. It’s a technological window in time we may forget about eventually, but worth commemorating before it’s gone.
