After Netherlands
two weeks ago, I have been to Amsterdam for a short visit. Actually the reason of my travel was installing our newsknitter sweaters exhibition into a fashionshop gallery called concrete image store. The shop is quite nice and innovative, they sell good urban style clothes (also some toys) for young people. They have also separeted the half of the room for exhibitions. Long story short, a must see stop in Amsterdam.
Not only the shop that impressed me in Netherlands but also the curator team of our exhibition,<TAG> based in Den Haag, was very nice. We had a long chat about political situation in europe, which I find it is getting more and more importance every day, as well as information visualization and its future. As expected, our long talk ended with a lot Palm beers in a bar. To be honest, I am a bit surprised that how I did not notice <TAG> earlier, because they are quite actively organizing exhibitions and publishing magazines on information visualization topic. However, it is better to know late than never, they recently published the 5th annual tag magazine related to the last exhibition called ‘Eco Aesthetics:Monitoring Ecological Data and Patterns of Human Consumption’. You may read the statement by the curators on exhibition and see some pictures from our exhibition space. Hoping to visit <TAG> and Netherlands soon again…
