A small settlement of paper huts in the middle of the rear space of W139 will be home to four artists and their hostess, Mariëlle Videler. Selected from 59 hopefuls responding to an international Open Call, none of the guests have been to Amsterdam before. They will be picked up from the airport and station, blindfolded, and taken to the Warmoesstraat where, for the full 8 days of BLINDED TOURIST, they will not leave the building.
Marielle Videler gives her four guests an environment largely designed and created by herself. They will get to know the city through her and the experts she has selected. During their stay, the blinded tourists will be in W139 where viewers can observe and visit them during opening hours. They will present their findings on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 March. We warmly invite you to come to the leaving party of Davide, Henrique, Caroline and ZhouBin at W139 on Sunday 28 March at 4pm.
