Cartographical Lure
VWFA Fine Art
17 June – 4 July 2009Artistic mapping is a cool idea. It is visually fun and has a point; one that works extremely well for the South Asian art scene as Cartographical Lure, the previous exhibition at Valentine Willie Fine Art, proves. For the community of artists in this region maps are a simple yet extremely potent avenue through which to represent what it is to be both an individual and part of a multicultural whole. Moreover, maps can have personal meaning or be impersonal, and this show that has them interpreted through different materials, including oil markers and digital offset printing, offers them up in glorious variety, from the warm and recognisable to the complicated and distant.

Vision 2030 / MVRDV
14/07/2009
With the city of Almere’s growth expected to require thousands of new residences, work places and related facilities, MVRDV was commissioned to collaborate with the city to design a concept structure vision to accommodate such drastic expansion. MVRDV’s Vision 2030 will create a framework to satisfy the growth for about 20 years. ”The structure vision for Almere is more than an urban master plan…” said Adri Duivesteijn, city councilor of Almere, “…it describes how the city can develop in economic, cultural and social terms. The expansion is not a quantitative effort. Even though the number of 60,000 new homes is impressive, the main objective is the addition of new qualities. Almere wants to serve the demand of the Randstad and at the same time needs the chance to develop into an ecologic, social and economically sustainable city”.
