Katleen Vermeir & Ronny Heiremans in Collaboration with 51n4e-Office for Architecture, Justin Bennett, Amir Borenstein, Mieja Hollevoet, Pierre Huyghebaert, Eric Jooris & Carly Wijs

Arnolfini have invited the Belgian artists Katleen Vermeir & Ronny Heiremans to develop a new project especially for our building. Their proposal has been unequivocal: turn the former warehouse into luxury residential units and sell them off. They have developed a unique collaboration between Arnolfini and a renowned office for architecture to create a new design and use for the Arnolfini building that is striking and ambitious.

The artists have branded their proposal THE GOOD LIFE, and have collaborated on this project with a creative team brought together for the exhibition. Come and visit to have a look at the proposed plans and get a full tour - get a taste for ‘The Good Life'. Having been pioneering in kick-starting the regeneration of Bristol's Harbourside area after being the first cultural enterprise to move there in the mid 1970s, Arnolfini is using the opportunity to consider its cultural value at large.

The Good Life Event
Sat 11 April 2pm / Free
Artists Katleen Vermeir & Ronny Heiremans present a discussion that will take the audience on a virtual guided tour through their home, further exploring their interest in representations of domestic architecture. For this event they have invited Eric Jooris, a solicitor, with whom they will also discuss their proposal for THE GOOD LIFE.

THE GOOD LIFE is the first in a new series of exhibitions for 2009 called Futurology - investigating envisionings of the future. FFI on Futurology and the accompanying events and film programme link here.
