Opening UBO Expo
Dear UBO friend,
We would like to invite you to the opening of the very first UBO Expo. The ‘Unidentified Beautiful Ob(sub)jects’ presented here are the treasures of Amsterdam Noord. With this exhibition, Michèle Bergsma wants to generate rights for the forgotten object in collaboration with the Parliament of Things. From the 21st of May till July, there will be the possibility to exhibit your UBO. (Contact ubo@mail.com for more information.)
“I see things laying around on the street. To who do they belong? Can I take them home? All one of a kinds, marked by the city. I merely serve as the humble collector of these drifters, just an instant in their existence. Will I be able to capture their indescribable grace?”
* The UBO archive consists so far out of The Hague, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The founder is Michèle Bergsma, she is graduating from photography at the Royal Academy of Arts in the Hague.
* UBO Prints (edition of 1) will be available for sale from the 21st of May, 2021.
