Eva Schippers has build a spaceship in 10 days with found and donated materials at the Vondelbunker, the Vondelbunker, Amsterdam during Corona. We send out a call for materials and drove all around Amsterdam during the project to collect [the first pick up date was December 6th]. The idea was a ship resembling the visual characteristics of maybe a flying lighthouse, a red and white barrier tape, an orange cone, a spaceship like Galileo 5 or something that could be written by Philip K. Dick.
During the launch days people were invited -1 at the time-, to spend some time in the ship and have a talk with the artist while preparing for departure: talks on emergencies that you experiences in the past, subjects that can alter how life is experienced, important things. Would you fly into space if the opportunity arose? And what would you leave behind...
This old bunker became a temporary workshop and meetingplace for an artist, tinkerer, a person who loves most to build, think and talk simultaneously.
Thanks everyone! The whole project has been hectic and amazing. A lot of people have donated materials, visited, contibuted and beaome part of this temporary world, vision or mad workshop, however they wished to see it.
