RAiR#3 hosts a surprising selection of the many talented guests. Invited are;

Brandon Jan Blommaert, Roxane Borujerdi, Diego Bruno, Amy Cheung,Erin Dunn, Hadassah Emmerich, Friederike Feldmann, Olivier Gourvil, Annika Hauke, Michiel Huijben, Aleksander Komarov, Susanne Kriemann, Maider Lopez, Tiina Mielonen, Ekaterina Mitichkina, Noriko Mitsuhashi, Shaun O'Connor, Nathan Redwood, Christine Rusche, Marco Schuler, Marit Shalem, Iwan van 't Spijker, Andrew Sroka, Soizic Stokvis, Nicola Unger

RAiR#3 looks back with a historical overview, but also anticipates on all that lies ahead. During RAiR#3 an open forum with invitees will discuss the topic of the Rotterdam international residency policy.

Be welcome to the Instructables Restaurant!

Hospitality, connection and interaction play an important role for RAiR. To make your stay in our ‘Guest House’ as pleasant as possible, Arne Hendriks and Waag Society will install an Instructables Restaurant in our exhibition space. Instructables Restaurant is the first open source restaurant in the world. Everything you see, use and eat is downloaded from instructables.com. An experiment in ‘digesting free internet culture’ in close collaboration with local entrepreneurs and artists.

BookCase (part of De Zwarte Ruyter) will present a selection of Artists' Books and zines and on Saturday 11th Tosti Treffer presents a special evening with food & music. A side event of Artist initiative ADA; Area for Debate and Art, will be anounced on the website of RAiR.
