Sunday Adventure Club
Hacking IKEA umbrellas in public space
- 21 Sept 08
On Sunday 21 September Eric Von Robertson engaged the public, IKEA hackers and several hundred orange umbrellas in some public space hacking around Platform21 and the nearby Beatrixpark. A Sunday adventure in which enthusiasts had to collaborate: the ingredients of the Sunday Adventure Club.
The Sunday Adventure Club is a temporary club of urban pioneers: citizens who through their personal passions have initiated activities in public space.
The Sunday Adventure Club explored the Amsterdam's dense city centre, looking for unloved plots of land. Some were successfully claimed and are now temporarily occupied by local clubs of enthusiasts. The others remain unused and are still open for your adventures.
ExperimentaDesign invites you to join the unexpected and unregulated at the Sunday Adventure Club!
The accompanying exhibition will be on show until 2 November 2008 at Groenburgwal 44. There also are weekly club meetings, varying from a city beauty form, Friday fishday and doggy dancing. Check www.sundayadventureclub.nl for the programma.
