EVA builds a bombshelter Project:Party At The End Of The World, 2024 5 weeks residency, exhibition & events Vondelbunker, Vondelpark 8a, Amsterdam
In the Vondelbunker EVA build a shelter in 5 weeks and everyone was invited to be safe and to fantasize about the end of the world. In times like these, with climate-crises, social emptiness, fear, war and poverty; Do you feel a growing, gnawing uneasyness whilst going about your bussiness?
With THE PARTY AT THE END OF THE WORLD, EVA, a worried neighbour, created, together with the Vondelbunker, a temporary safe space for everyone to reflect, meet and talk about our greatest fears. She transformed the bunker back to it's original use, a bomb shelter: think bunkbeds, batteries, storage cupboards and wires... The normal programming of the bunker continued, everyone was welcome and there was always fresh apple pie in the oven. In the end 2733 people visited the installation, The Sad Song Open Mic Night and the groepexpo The End Of The World, it was magical!
