Voice-over Noord - Part Two
Voice-over Noord, Part 2
Bus Tour: Narrations and Interventions in public space
Created by Özkan Gölpinar
Part Two of Voice-over Noord will consist of bus pitches by various artists, as well as tours by bus through Amsterdam North. During the bus pitches we will explore, alongside and along with the artists, whether it is possible to “re-map” Amsterdam North and provide a voice-over to its public spaces. We will reflect on the role of artists in urban transformation areas – to what extent can they act as an ‘urban curator’?
We gather at the entrance stairs to Tolhuistuin:
Friday, March 27 from 17:45
Saturday, March 28 from 14:45
Bus departs: Friday 18.00 / Saturday 15.00, at the ferry stop across from Tolhuistuin.

1. In search of Love
15:00. Location: Entry stairs of Tolhuistuin, then on the bus touring Noord.
Participating artist: Chris Keulemans.
Talks and discussion. Along with writer Chris Keulemans we will be looking for love in Amsterdam North. What are the places of beauty and intimacy? What are the hidden-away places to go to with a secret lover? There will be conversations on and with poets and writers that live in the North area. Afterwards we will visit Eye Film Museum to explore films about love.
2. In search of Home – The Green Monster Project
17:45. Location: on the bus touring Noord.
Participating artist: Marta Pisco.
Performance artist Pisco, exploring the theme of “feeling at home” as an immigrant, walked around Amsterdam North dressed up as a green monster during May 2000. She filmed herself and the resulting interactions. This footage was then screened at several locations in Amsterdam North, during which Pisco was again present to film the reactions of people to her fil m footage. The final film, which includes both the original responses to the “green monster” as well as the reactions to the film material, will be shown at this special screening. Afterwards there will be a discussion with the artist on what it is like being an “other”/stranger in Amsterdam North.
3. In search of Public Participation & Identity
