Various Workshops and marsterclasses: November 21 -- 28

To support artists working with eTextiles, V2_ installs a temporary

bring together rapid prototyping machines typically found in so-called
Fablabs with machines common to the production of textiles. *Official

Besides open access to artists working with eTextiles, V2_ is offering

*Blowup: Speculative Realities*
December 8 -- January 12
Roodkapje, Meent 121-133 Rotterdam
This edition of Blowup will examine the how and the why of speculative
realism, object-oriented ontology and artistic practice. Three new art
commissions examine different aspects of object-oriented ontology (OOO),
such as a non-human-centered view of the world, and the limits of
knowledge. An e-book of interviews with artists and thinkers, released
with a short talk at the exhibition finissage, will round out the
program and provide insights into the relationship between this exciting
turn in philosophy and contemporary art and design.
