Wild Summer of Art - group show
Under the title The Treasure Hunt Edition, fifty Rotterdam-based artists present specific facets of their work across all spaces. From 17 July to 30 August, Brutus becomes an unmissable hunting ground for art explorers. The curators of The Treasure Hunt Edition, Hajo Doorn and Cokkie Snoei, deliberately avoided an overarching theme or statement, opting instead for an intuitive approach. Based on nominations by fourteen scouts, a broad and diverse selection of artists was assembled. To turn this edition into a true 'treasure hunt', participating artists were invited to present an unknown, surprising or lesser-seen aspect of their work. In their introduction, the curators take a deliberately restrained position. The artworks are given space to speak for themselves. No lengthy texts filled with complex concepts, insider jargon or social commentary; instead, the focus is on radical simplicity: the art speaks. Essential to the experience of The Treasure Hunt Edition are Brutus's raw, industrial spaces. Visitors are invited to wander freely and discover the richness and quality of Rotterdam's art scene.
