Shadow Floriade: Testing grounds for art and ecology | 22 April – 16 October
On April 22, Earth Day, we will open the Shadow Floriade in honor of 50 years of Amstel Park (Floriade 1972). During the Shadow Floriade we will take the public into new imaginations and experiences of nature in exhibitions, outdoor works, expeditions and workshops at various locations in the park.
The Amstelpark: The trees narrate their story by Elmo Vermijs | 3 September – 16 October
The trees of municipal park Amstelpark take centre stage in The Amstelpark – The trees narrate their story. Initially planted for the occasion of the 1972 Floriade, the trees have been the silent witnesses to global warming. The tree rings register changes in the local climate. The project consists of a LivingLab, the Parliament for Trees and the Trial in the Park. Heading up towards the lawsuit we host two lectures about the research and the lawsuit. Living Lab is open on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Sonic Acts Biennial 2022: One sun after another | 30 September – 16 October
Expanding from Sonic Acts’ long term research focus on the implications of climate crisis, one sun after another traces the inextricable nature of pollution and time. Unfolding in several places, the exhibition and its public programme of events engage with ecology across vast scales. In the Glazen Huis two works by Tomoko Sauvage are on view and at the Rode Brug entrance one can experience the audio installation by Lucky Dragons. Open everyday from 12.00 – 18.00.

About Zone2Source
Zone2Source is an international platform for art, nature and technology. We welcome you to experience the projects that artists have developed inside and outside of the glass pavilions of the Amstelpark, using this environment as a living lab. In our exhibitions and projects, we propose alternative practices and experiences of our ‘natural’ environment. Zone2Source is concerned with a return to the source to observe and experience anew in order to explore new relations between humans, nature and technology.
In exhibitions, workshops, presentations and discussions we offer alternative imaginations to reorient ourselves with what a 21st century way of dealing with our world could be.
Zone2Source is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 13:00 – 17:00 and upon request. Let us know you want to come via info@zone2source.net. Free admission.
On this website you will find all information about our exhibitions, projects and the latest Zone2Source news.
