On October 13 and 14, Cargo Series proudly presents Cargo II, second of
three international experimental art manifestations, taking place in the ODe
Bagagehalš, located in the harbour of Amsterdam. Framed in its tailor-made
timespan of 2 x 12 hrs and the monumental space of the warehouse-location,
the Cargo II-exhibition is the culmination of an intense collaboration
between artists, architects, curators, graphic designers, musicians, and
writers during several months.

Cargo Series intends to question established forms of presenting and
mediating art and seeks to explore new ways of dealing with them, taking the
determined (course of) time and space of its manifestation as the basis of
its concept. Within this context, Cargo IIšs specific format is based on the
essentials of cinematographics. Balancing on the fine line between
autonomous art and narration, it employs its deconstructed elements of
(moving) light and sound in order to present them in a structure translated
to the time-space of the exhibition.

Rather than using the warehouse-hall as a stage for independent works, the
contributors to Cargo II were invited to work on the architectural frame
itself, taking into account the element of time passing throughout the
exhibition. The artists will present architectural installations, making use
of light, vibrations, and sound, thereby providing a stage for their
performances, enwrapping its visitors like characters in an unfolding of
time and innumerable plots. The scenes are only partly known beforehand,
shaped outside the control of their authors, to be in the end reconstructed
by their interpreters.

Cargo II will be accompanied by a publication, which should be seen as a
further manifestation of the project, bringing together all recordings of
the exhibition itself. The publication is based on the grid provided by
Cargo IIšs public notices and invitation, translating its concept to the
time-space of a book. Developed by Cargo IIšs designers, Coup, and edited by
Barbara Clausen, it is to be issued later this year.

Cargo Series is intitiated by Stichting Kunstwerk Loods 6 and
curated/produced by Suzanne van de Ven. Cargo II is co-curated/co-produced
by Barbara Clausen (freelance curator and writer), Coup (graphic design),
Martijn Jansen (artist and DJ), Germaine Kruip (artist), Bart Majoor
(photographer), Omar Muņoz-Cremers (sociologist and SciFi-writer) and Bart
Rutten (curator Netherlands Media Art Institute). Special thanks to Hotjam
and Wizz.
