Sprinckelink
Sprinckelink is a collection of shows held in the front space of FoAM Lab in Amsterdam. In this former shoe shop a series of exhibitions will take place starting from May 2005. A diverse program is offered to passers-by on the street.
Sprinckelinxkes is the old Dutch term for sparks that “fly off.” The lab-window serves as a portal for sparks to jump out among our neighbourhood inhabitants. Amsterdam West is an area of the city inhabited mostly by low-income groups and is culturally diverse. The window brings the world of science, design, and culture to street-level. We have been showing inflatable architecture, anthropological collections, botany, physics and technology – sometimes as a full show and sometimes in less formal settings.
Solemnities is a special program within the Sprinckelink exhibition series centered around highlights in the Christian festive calendar and is intended to connect the diverse religious community of Amsterdam West with the cultural historic remnants of Christianity in the Low Countries.
