[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″ class=”col-sm-9″][vc_column_text]Art in infrastructural projects is developed through commissions. Scale and access distinguish these projects from art commissions in closed or semi-public buildings. The public that comes in contact with these projects is larger, more diverse and literally, on the move. There is less time and space to experience art. At the same time, art can greatly contribute to the experience and inspiration of a particular area or route.

When it comes to the realisation of art in infrastructural projects, QKunst takes on content supervision or project management. In the first case, the focus is on the concept, the artist selection, the assessment of the designs together with the commissioner, and guiding the artist. In the second case, the whole process is taken care of and the commissioner is completely unburdened.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″ class=”col-sm-9″][vc_column_text]The City of Amsterdam granted us the commission for the artistic guidance of eight artworks in the stations of the North-South line: developing the theme and the commission per station, making a first artist selection and guiding the chosen artists up until completion of the works. During six years, we operated as a vital link between the municipality, de advisory commission (with representatives of transportation services GVB, architecture agency Benthem Crouwel, the Amsterdam Art Council, Stedelijk Museum) and the architect, contractor, suppliers and artists.

Due to the size of this project, we have made a separate page on our website with detailed background information. We have also selected some press articles about the project (mostly in Dutch). There is also a publication, a brochure, and sometimes we give a lecture or a tour; please check our news page.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1493728377522{padding-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”3868″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
