OBJECTIVES
Perambulação (Wandering) is a unique collaborative art project that brings together 14 Dutch and Brazilian artists in Rotterdam and São Paulo, to express, by means of various urban installations, their opinion on social commitments and political platforms.
By juxtaposing actions and urban conditions, Perambulação considers our own role and responsibility in sustaining the complex environment of which we are part and at the same time regards the powerful influence of urban surroundings in our own lives. It is a cross-cultural research that will evolve organically in actions constructed from a complex series of spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical relationships: in a city, as in nature, we feel part of something larger than ourselves, but we are also aware of our separateness.
The work addresses issues of our time and our various, overlapping two cultural different experiences. For over 1 month, the 14 Perambulação artists, living and working together, will articulate socio-economic and political contents, particularly when perceived in relation to the countries from which they come.
By means of collaborations and interventions young artists present themselves on different platforms, to establish one’s identity and determine collective positions. The content may vary from highly serious activism to artistic interventions, but always focused on the urge to reveal politics of space, ideology of architecture, social claiming of architectural redundancy, rhetoric of functionality of objects and spaces, depiction of public property.
As collaborative work with artists in their own and other community, Perambulação offers a contribution to the crossing of borders and lead us to the exchange of creative multicultural dialogues as a response to a shared need around and about contemporary urban culture concepts.

A very interesting website for this discussion.
By producing the best art, in the best possible
conditions, Artangel has become part of the cultural debate, both in the UK and abroad. A pathfinder in the process of achieving a deeper understanding of the world. Which is what art always offers those willing to take up the challenge.
Beyond the white walls of the gallery, the black box of the theatre or the darkened interior of the cinema, there are other forms of expression where the relationship between artist and place is of primary importance. This is a relationship which Artangel actively explores in events where context and content are often indistinguishable. An artist’s response to the qualities and conditions of a particular place is central to the development of a project. And finding the right place is an integral part of the commissioning process we undertake.
