TADA gets pretty vacant

Code Rood Buitenplaats Koningsweg Koningsweg 23a Arnhem

 

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply

Oh just remember I don't decide

I got no reason it's all too much

You'll always find us out to lunch

 

Pretty Vacant is a Sex Pistols song.

Pretty Vacant is a state of blank, absent-mindedness.

Pretty Vacant is relatively empty.

But honestly, Pretty Vacant is OK.

You need an empty head to create ideas.

You need an empty space to fill it up with work.

 

So what to do you do when you put 8 artists together in a show?

Dig into their common grounds?

Cough up a trending topic or hipster subject?

Or just be Pretty Vacant and let them hit the stage.

Yes! That’s the way we do it!

 

A building on the grounds of Code Rood is the place to be.

Set on the compounds of a former German military base surrounded by woods,

this space calls for action, reaction, motion, noise and more.

TADA let them artists loose to throw a punch at the space.

Strip it right down to the bone, Blitzkrieg Bop, Rock the Casbah!

Let the words in, let the lights in, let the stories in, let the colors in.

Who let the dogs out?
