A platform for interaction between art and science
-
Short
Living Art Lab is the overarching cultural platform of Marineterrein Amsterdam, which offers space for creative projects associated with developments and experiments at Marineterrein.
Interaction between science and creativity leads to the new insights and innovative solutions that we need to make cities liveable. To promote this interaction and involve the public in developments and experiments at Marineterrein, Marineterrein is busy working on a cultural programme known as the Living Art Lab.
This programme invites students, artists, designers, and scientists to dig deeper into the area’s DNA and present work that shines a new light on the present, the past, and future of this unusual area of the city.
The programme will take place at different locations at Marineterrein, including De Schietbaan and the outdoor area at the end of the site, as well as online.

Facts
The Living Art Lab comprises multiple components:
Cityscapes Artistic Research
Cityscapes is working in collaboration with members of the community, scientists, and artists to research four topics closely related to Marineterrein: Latent Space, Urban Ecology, Inclusive City, and Hacking Heritage.
Buitenbroedplaats
The Buitenbroedplaats New Art programme provides space to artists looking for freedom to experiment, test, and do things differently. Sustainable, future-proof development of Marineterrein requires new insights and approaches. Buitenbroedplaats appeals to young, creative talent and new and innovative artists, who would normally find it difficult to find space in the city for collaborative thought about the future of the city and the issues faced by cities around the world.
An important part of Buitenbroedplaats is its solid grounding and connection with the city and surrounding neighbourhoods. Marineterrein has long been an enclosed enclave. At Buitenbroedplaats, investigations are taking place into how Marineterrein can retain its unique character and, at the same time, be an inclusive part of Amsterdam. How can local residents and Amsterdam residents more widely, of different backgrounds and ages, contribute to development of Marineterrein?
AHK Art&Science
Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK) is working at different locations at Marineterrein on art education, experiments at the interface of art and science, and in particular on promoting interaction between different disciplines of art.
Guest programmes
The Living Art Lab is working with cultural initiatives who are guests at Marineterrein, such as Steim – macroTONE, Amsterdam Light Festival, and the Media Architectuur Biennale, towards an exhibition in 2021.
