Rafaël Rozendaal

On Friday September 2, the Stedelijk Museum will open its doors for a one-off Bring Your Own Beamer(BYOB) exhibition.

For this event, many artists, designers and other creatives – and their beamers – were invited to project their work on the blank walls of the Teijin Auditorium. BYOB is an international concept initiated by internet artist Rafaël Rozendaal, which allows artists to fill a space with projections for one night. Everything is permitted, as long as it is projected: from video art, VJ sets and Kinect systems to slideshows and home videos. This 360⁰ exhibition will be on display from 8.15 pm. The evening will include a conversation in the Audi gallery with Rafaël Rozendaal.

In conjunction with this event, on Sunday September 4 the Stedelijk Museum organizes an afternoon with lectures, entitled Painting in the Digital Age, accompanying the exhibition Avery Singer: Scenes (April 23 – October 2, 2016).
