Call for videoartists

To present at the Opzichterhuisje

The Opzichterhuisje is a statement by Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout. In 1993 he saved de small house from demolishment and recreated it into a monument/artwork. The Opzichterhuisje is located at the Cruquiusweg 0.
It is set at a former emplacement that served as stop to load and place goods from 'exotic' countries. These goods were stocked in the former stockhouses, named monday through sunday. These 'exotic' goods were then shipped to other countries in Europe. At the beginning van the 'lane', where the stationemplacement is situated, in remberence of its history, a buttompart of a trainwagon is placed on rails that is left there.
