 Amsterdam, NL. May 21, 2008
13 Isolations will take place in Hoorn, Netherlands at the Oostereiland Prison, August 1-29, 2008.
13 artists of multiple cultures and various artistic disciplines have volunteered to be confined in isolation for one month and provided with only art materials, food and water. They will be live streamed 8 hours a day on the Internet for a global audience to view, possibly the largest audience ever to see a live art event.
The Mayors office and the Hoorn city government will sponsor the Landmark prison site and subsequent exhibition space at the Noorderkerk.
The 13 artists are: Kim Tuin, Isabella Mara, Sanyu Nagenda, Kirsten Leenaars, Kim Tuin, Priscilla Fernandes, Kim Chandler, Fred Martin, Katya Grokhovsky, Hans Reuschl, Lekan Oguntunde, Noriko Yamaguchi and Steven Gerlich.
13 Isolations is art as experimental research and the artists act as metaphors for the larger scale isolations brought on by wrongful imprisonment, discrimination, tribalism, forced labor, human trafficking and poverty to mention a few.
As the artists struggle to compromise their aloneness with unique works of art, the evidence of their struggle will be exhibited to the public for 2 weeks.
EPISODES encourages the participation of companies in Holland to participate in this exciting event opening at the start of the cultural season. The public excitement generated by this event and exhibition makes it an excellent opportunity for corporate exposure. 13 isolations web site www.13isolations.com will broadcast the event and become a docking station for Internet traffic to interact with; by posting blogs, uploading videos about personal experiences with isolations and reporting any violation of human rights. Information gathered over the course of the event will be available for medical institutions, governments, NGOs and the public via our web site.
EPISODES is a public service art network dedicated to bringing the applied imagination of artists to the public domain and promoting genuine cultural exchange among the global community.
