Descripción de la Exposición

This is the inaugural program of the institution’s new director, Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy. Her program also entails special initiatives, including one that consists of offering free admission to Witte de With’s most visible exhibition space, its ground-floor gallery. This gallery space will house Untitled, a long-term and slowly-evolving exhibition. Untitled includes commissioned work to Federico Herrero from Costa Rica, and furniture by Muebles Manuel, a firm based in México and Germany. In this first iteration of Untitled, also included is a bookshop and two special displays: one about the latest project by New York artist Angie Keefer, and another an archival presentation of a 1993 project by Belgian artist Jef Geys (1934-2018) involving nine families from Alexanderpolder in Rotterdam. Untitled is set-up as a site and occasion for collective learning. Kicking-off in fall 2018 is a work-study fellowship program for Rotterdam youth which ends include collectively programming Untitled with the Witte de With team. Hernández Chong Cuy’s exhibition program will feature the work of artists with a strong research-based practice, who are especially concerned with sensually spatializing their investigations. The programming engages artists, as well as the general public, to regard the intellectual nature of artistic production.
