SOCIAL DISRUPTIONS: Michelle Rasmussen, Enzy Jhang, Marouschka Brian, Rover Indigo Bertels, Anna Musikhina, Beatrice GuidI
About this activity.
“Social Disruptions” is an intervention project taking place in public space of Groningen that started at April 7th
Six young artists have been asked to develop and implement interventions (“disruptions”) in an urban or rural part of Groningen, or another selected, meaningful location with a strong presence of public space.
They will implement significant interventions that will encourage people to rethink their surroundings and whose social impact will be tangible.
The work period at SIGN was from April 7th to May 10th.
SIGN served as a base and workspace, with activities expanding outward. In other words, SIGN is not a presentation space, but was a research, documentation, and production space.
The interventions will take place between May 10th and 23rd at various locations and times in public spaces.
Social Disruptions Artists:
Michelle Rasmussen, Enzy Jhang, Marouschka Brian, Rover Indigo Bertels, Anna Musikhina, Beatrice Guidi
Everyone is asked to devise new work specifically for these social interventions in public spaces, which can take various forms (performances, sculptures, installations, interactions, social design).

SIGN.
SIGN is een levendige en experimentele projectruimte voor actuele interdisciplinaire kunst op nationaal niveau. Zij biedt jonge kunstenaars een podium voor verdere profilering, ontwikkeling en intensivering van hun kunstenaarschap. Daarbij wordt nieuw werk geïnitieerd in bijzondere contexten en wordt de nodige reflectie gegeven. Presentaties zijn er in SIGN, op allerlei locaties, en in openbare ruimte met een variatie aan omstandigheden, invalshoeken, disciplines.
SIGN wordt ondersteund door Mondriaan Fonds Kunstpodium Basis 2025-2028 en door de Gemeente Groningen voor dezelfde periode.
