Sculp­ture Inter­na­tional Rot­ter­dam has just opened this years public art instal­la­tions, Pub­liek, show­ing the work of Ugo Rondi­none (CH), Monica Bon­vicini (IT/DE) and Ger­maine Kruip (NL). The work is clus­tered around Rotterdam’s his­toric City Hall along the Coolsin­gel, and acti­vates the city on mul­ti­ple scales, from the inte­rior space of the recently closed Postkan­toor, to the rooftop sig­nage of the Gen­erale Bank, to the doorstep of the City Hall. The out­door exhi­bi­tion will be open daily, and is on dis­play until the 18th Novem­ber, 2007. Above and below Monica’s amaz­ing piece Don’t Miss A Sec, a public toilet made entirely of one-​way mir­rored glass, caus­ing its user a dis­con­cert­ing feel­ing of exhi­bi­tionsm or inverse voyeurism.
