The Medium Gallery is an initiative of curators/artists Daniël Dennis de Wit and Wouter Sibum. It's a place where they give artists the opportunity to show their work in a unusual and non-conformistic environment. The Gallery is situated in a informal living environment; sometimes referred to as: "a house", therefore artists will have to deal with certain issues they mostly will not be confronted with showing their work in a 'standard' white cube.

(see http://openair.mediumgallery.nl in the near future for
specific locations)

A weekend long the MediumGallery will turn it's focus away from it's site-specific ''Gallery'' to show works in public space. A dozen artists where selected for their visions on the question of: "Who Gives a F*ck About Art in Public Space?!". Their works will be on show
in the citycenter of Groningen.

Een heel weekend lang zal de MediumGallery z'n specifieke ruimte verlaten om werken in de publieke ruimte te tonen. Zo'n tiental kunstenaars zijn naar aanleiding van de directe maar toch dringende vraag: "Who Gives a F*ck About Art in Public Space?!" geselecteerd
door de MediumGallery om hun visie op dit thema te tonen in de binnenstad van Groningen.
