Het dossier De Frontlinie: Bestaansonzekerheid en gentrificatie in de Creatieve Stad, samengesteld door Roel Griffioen, onderzoekt de relatie tussen nieuwe ontwikkelingen in het cultuurbeleid en de gentrificatiepolitiek die de Nederlandse steden steeds duurder en ontoegankelijker maakt. Wat is de functie van goedkoop gefabriceerde creativiteit in een politiek-economisch systeem dat bestaansonzekerheid creëert en oogst, een stedelijk beleid dat gentrificatie stimuleert, een cultuurbeleid dat ‘nuttige’ kunst aanmoedigt, en een woonbeleid dat wonen onzekerder maakt? Met bijdragen van Pascal Gielen, Abel Heijkamp, Adelita Husni-Bey, Frank Keizer, Łukasz Koterba, Isabell Lorey, Herbert Ploegman, Bent Vande Sompele, Rufus de Vries en Claudia Zeller.

What is the function of the studio?
1. It is the place where the work originates.
2. It is generally a private place, an ivory tower perhaps.
3. It is a stationary place where portable objects are produced.

Note 1

The project is named A.I.R, in reference of the signs artists in 60ies in New York had to put on the doors of the abandoned warehouses they had appropriated as studio. These signs would inform firemen a.o. about the fact there was an ‘artist in residence’ in a building that was officially no longer in use. This ‘new’ type of artist studio drew the attention of magazines and TV programs. The camera was bringing the ‘truth’ about the artist in his studio. The artist in his studio became an appealing media story, which promoted a totally new living format, loft living, and its ‘values’ and ‘ideology’ of freedom, transparency, creativity. Since that time loft living has found its way around the globe. In the meanwhile the literal meaning of the acronym A.I.R. evolved into a nomadic and temporary working environment for emerging artists.
