9 July to 9 August Outdoor expo throughout the city of Rotterdam

Now that so many performances, concerts and festivals are cancelled, the billboards are lost. Publieke werken is an outdoor exhibition throughout the city with work by more than 400 visual artists, designers, photographers, image makers and illustrators. Artist R.E. van der Jagt a.k.a. Double O Roos is one of them.

Event organizer Joost Maaskant (Stichting de Loodsen), graphic design Sibe Kokke (NOTDEF) and program maker Rineke Kraaij (Great Dutch Art Calendar) found each other in the annoyance cycling around the city full of signs announcing what was never going to happen. Art had to be there.

An open call was made to artists to submit a work. More than 500 artists responded to this. In the end, more than 400 works were selected.The result is a totally colorful collection of images from established and upcoming makers. Young and old. Amateur and professional. This collection forms the public works public exhibition throughout the city. So is the poster of R.E. van der Jagt a.k.a. Double O Roos.

On 9 July, the festive opening will be at 8 p.m. and all artists will be invited to stand with their friends at an appropriate distance from their work.

This creates a Corona proof opening in which a food truck will drive around to provide the makers with drinks.

Double O Roos received 9 posters of her work that she is allowed to sell herself at 35 euros each. So if you want to support an artist in Corona time, buy a poster at Double O Roos! See website http://www.doubleoroos.com for info
