Borderless: In Time at the Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam
NYFA Goes to Amsterdam
Curated by David C. Terry, Borderless is a three-venue event series that will take place in three cities in three different countries simultaneously: New York, Amsterdam, and Berlin.
The exhibition series focuses on the theme of living without borders, the past and present challenges faced by borders, along with what defines them and how they are set.

Sharing Perspectives is an international collaboration between Flux Factory, New York Foundation for the Arts and Node Center for Curatorial Studies that engages people from different backgrounds to contribute their personal perspectives and experiences with art. The project is based on a desire to have real conversations in real time to help build a better understanding of what kinds of impacts art can have on individuals, communities, and the world around us.
In November and December 2016, the Sharing Perspectives team will be traveling to Berlin and the Amsterdam Art Weekend presenting talks and having open discussions related to the shifting roles of art over time. In addition we will be hitting the streets and interviewing locals one-on-one to learn about their views on the impact of art both on the personal and social level.
Following our activities in Berlin and Amsterdam, we will publicly present a collection of conversations as well as an analysis of gathered information in a variety of accessible formats, such as a podcast, website, or exhibition.
If you can’t join us in Berlin or Amsterdam, we would still love to hear from you in our survey.
The events in Berlin run parallel to the exhibition Borderless: In Perspective curated by David C. Terry and initiated by NYFA at LiteHaus Galerie from December 3 – 17, 2016.
