Exhibition and book
At the invitation of Noorderlicht and the Wall House #2 Foundation eight photographers resided in the Wall House. This world famous building by architect John Hejduk remained a daring paper concept for decades until it was finally realized in Groningen in 2001. In the photography project ‘Thought provoking, sense provoking' the photographers processed their ideas and experiences into eight series that collectively engage in a highly creative game with architecture and photography.
Participating photographers: Wijnanda Deroo (Netherlands/US), Beth Yarnelle Edwards (US), Isabelle Hayeur (Canada), Bill Jacobson (US), Thomas Kellner (Germany), Anoek Steketee (Netherlands), Mitra Tabrizian (Iran/UK) and Danwen Xing (China).
On Sunday July 22nd architecture connoisseur Olof van de Wal will conduct a free tour through the Wall House. Especially on this occasion the tour and the admission for Wall House are free.
Afterwards there is the opportunity to visit the exhibition in the Noorderlicht Photogallery.
Architecture connoisseur Van de Wal is director of the KEI (information centre urban renewal) in Rotterdam. Before that he was curator at the NAi (Dutch Architecture institute) and director and initiator (2003-2007) of Platform GRAS and the Wall House #2 Foundation. Het also founded the international Young European Architects network.
