Art Works on Commission, Free

As part of the exhibition To Seminar, BAK organizes a series of performances, talks, and public meetings inquiring how learning about, with, and through art can become a collective practice of thinking and acting out imaginaries alternative to those of the crises-ridden contemporary.

For more than a week leading up to this “one-day exhibition,” eighteen young artists labored under the slogan “Obras de arte por encargo, gratis” on the streets and in the public spaces of Utrecht, developing artistic projects that respond to the wishes and aspirations of the city’s inhabitants. Led by Cuban artist René Francisco, the collective presents the commissioned works in the installation in the context of the exhibition To Seminar.
