ALL IS GIVING
PUBLIC ART SPACE
GRONINGEN 2013
All is Giving was initiated and curated in 2013 by Ad de Jong and Esther de Graaf.
The exhibition All is Giving was made as a public artspace in the former postoffice in the centre of Groningen. An art space where people during the two months could enter the exhibition as many times as they wanted for free.
We also offered daily meals for visitors who could dine in the middle of the exhibition and we organized a lecture 'Reviving the corpse of art' by Michael Paraskos (click to watch online).
With Shootmedia we made a book that serves as unique documentation of the entire exhibition.
All 45 participating artists were:
Ad de Jong and Esther de Graaf

The wooden interior with slope walls was specially made for All is Giving in order to transform the former post office into the Public Artspace. This way it became a special place for the 100+ artworks and the visitors that was publicly accessible.
