Stroom Invest Week 2019

Locatie: Stroom Den Haag, Hogewal 1-9, Den Haag
Datum: 17 - 21 juni 2019

De PRO Stroom Invest regeling ondersteunt jonge kunstenaars in hun ontwikkeling en is bedoeld om academieverlaters aan de stad te binden. Om de jonge kunstenaars een extra impuls te geven wordt jaarlijks het zogenaamde Stroom Invest programma georganiseerd.

Nederlandse en buitenlandse curatoren bezoeken ateliers van Haagse kunstenaars. Ook leden van de adviescommissie PRO leggen in dit kader atelierbezoeken af. Stroom zet deze contacten later breder in ten behoeve van Haagse kunstenaars door de zichtbaarheid d.m.v. tentoonstellingen, presentaties en uitwisselingen te vergroten.

Dewi Bekker, Florentijn de Boer, Lydia Buijs, Iliada Charalambous, Afra Eisma, Paul de Jong, Sjuul Joosen, Joeri Woudstra, Mickey Yang, Anna Sophie de Vries.

Laila Hida
Laila Hida's work explores through individual and collective projects unnegotiated spaces, social practices and the idea of transformation as a constant. Her current project Tout est Temporaire (Everything is Temporary) builds upon her personal (textual and photographic) archive in search for ways of addressing intimacy, resilience, auto-analysis, as markers of the infinitude of an artwork through time and space. In 2013, Hida's artistic and entrepreneurial projects merged when she became founder of le 18, Derb el Ferrane, a multidisciplinary art space based in marrakech. Le 18 emerged as an artist-run initiative, extending her long-term intention to understand and respond to how global tourism shapes local landscapes and their perceptions. Le 18's programs offer a space where artists, curators and researchers can experiment, learn and share knowledge and experiences through exhibitions, talks, gatherings and residencies, in order to build social and creative networks that benefit local communities. She is currently a Soros Art Fellow.
