The Common Inn: Call to Anyone and Everything
Join a one-day gathering of people showing their thing. Display and discuss what you are already doing, would like to be doing, and how others can get involved on April 18, 2019.
The Common Inn invites makers and thinkers to exhibit or perform their work in a programme of various activities that collectively explore the notion of talent.
Throughout The Common Inn, several guests, amongst them recent graduates, late bloomers, policymakers, scouts, and a visiting audience will binge-watch or binge-partake in an allotted timed broadcast.
About The Common Inn
The Common Inn is a programme of exhibited works, performances and other activities based on a series of open calls. The event is primarily informed by a gathering of designers, artists, educators, researchers, curators, photographers and other makers and thinkers to present and share. The event takes places in Gallery 1 of Het Nieuwe Instituut and is performed by all respondents to the open calls, invited guests, Het Nieuwe Instituut, and curators and scenographers Simon Becks and Jules van den Langenberg.
