Let The Lonely Shells Dream - multimedia art exhibition

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 27 October 2019

On 16 November 2019, RAW Streetphoto Gallery is opening a new duo exhibition by the French artists Youri Cayron and Romain Rivalan. The exhibition, titled 'Let The Lonely Shells Dream' shows the effects of aggressive urbanisation.

Let The Lonely Shells Dream

Over the last few years, the artists have spent their time and effort to explore, study and capture the many facets of how architecture changes the space around humans. Unfortunately, construction has moved from a basic need to build shelters to a destructive transformation of space. This destruction is accompanied by a creeping need to dominate, occupy and wipe out.

In the exhibition, the artists confront the reality of their situation. Youri Cayron and Romain Rivalan employ a combination of video, photography and music in order to render a fully immersive experience of what they have experienced around the world.

In order to best render the feelings, thoughts, and questions that the artists witnessed in person, RAW Streetphoto Gallery will present an installation which alters the perception of space inside the gallery.

The exhibition is open from 16 November, 2019 until 21 December, 2019. The artists themselves, Youri Cayron and Romain Rivalan will both be present at the opening on 16 november.

RAW Streetphoto Gallery opening times

• Thursdays: 17:00 - 19:00
• Fridays: 17:00 - 19:00
• Saturdays: 16:00 - 19:00

Rotterdam Popweek - 10 days of music events and live shows

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 22 October 2019

The Rotterdam Popweek is all about popular music. It's also the only week that lasts 10 days! That's 10 days to truly experience the vibrancy and versatility of the Rotterdam pop scene through hundreds of diverse performances at over 100 locations.

The Rotterdam Popweek was first set up by the Popunie in 2013 to bring together existing and new pop-related activities and to put them in the spotlight. The 10-day event shows that much Rotterdam has a lot more local talent and activities than people often think. The Popweek is therefore also a good time to encourage new initiatives and bring them to the attention of the general audience.

What to expect at Rotterdam Popweek 2019?

The seventh edition of the Rotterdam Popweek will take place from Friday 1 to Sunday 10 November 2019. This year, there is an added focus on actively stimulating diversity in the line-up by focusing more on partnerships with other parties in Rotterdam's cultural field. This results in many special events that otherwise would not have existed without the Rotterdam Popweek.
