So Far We Safari

Story-telling tour by David Bernstein & Jokūbas Čižikas

David Bernstein & Jokūbas Čižikas presented a story-telling tour connecting the Oostelijk Havengebied and the Indische Buurt. Including a boat expedition and several visits/performances, the tour tackled the rapport between departing, collecting, memory and fiction. The different movements and transitions contemplated on the role and function of artworks as transitional objects and exhibitions as imagined or floating spaces. David Bernstein’s personal collection of artworks and found objects that was on display at Museum Perron Oost was also activated and performed during the tour.

(The exhibition Huis Museum by David Bernstein at Museum Perron Oost ran from the 4th till the 24th of September as a satellite project to Heterotropics #1. For more information visit www.museumperronoost.nl)
