When: 29 September, from 16:45 to 17:00.
Entrance: free

Everyone is welcome, but we would appreciate it if you sign up.

Gatekeepers is an ongoing project in which Dahlberg explores ideas of inclusion and exclusion within the art world. The work exudes critical playfulness while simultaneously confronting the audience. The collaboration with Dahlberg came about at the request of curator Zippora Elders to Framer Framed to contribute to the program of Constant 101: a large-scale collaborative project celebrating the 101st birthday of artist Constant Nieuwenhuys. Framer Framed and Monika Dahlberg entered into a collaboration that led to the realization of a new permanent work in – and reflecting on – public space.

The sculptures will have a permanent place on the quay, where they will increase the visibility and identity of Framer Framed. Both Monika Dahlberg and curator Zippora Elders will be present at the opening.
