URBAN FABRIC
INTERIOR PUBLIC SPACE INSTALLATION, EVENT/PRODUCTION SPACE
Location: Rotterdam, the Netherlands,
Client: ZIGZAG CITY FESTIVAL
The old Singer Factory is located at Hoogstraat 170, next to the Vlasmarkt.
After the WWII, Singer was one of the first to open a factory in Rotterdam, in order to produce jobs within the recovering city. Today, the factory is no longer functioning.
The SingerSweatShop, an artist collective, is currently activating the building. UrbanFabric strives to reveal and emphasize the urban quality and value of this particular space within the city. For this, a ‘fabric’ is introduced as an abstract agent merging the history and present reality of the place. Additionally, the venue will offer a place to pause and have a coffee, drinks, and snacks along the zigzag journey. The space will feature a series of installations and performances relating to fashion and architecture. Urban Fabric is a project in the context of Architecture festival ZigZagCity.
