The Temporary Autonomous Bureau_T.A.B

Rotterdam Cultural Histories #13: The Temporary Autonomous Bureau is a space for researching and discussing interpretations of autonomy in cultural or social projects within Rotterdam. We are inhabitants of the Poortgebouw, a historic residential community located next to the Maas River, and students from the Experimental Publishing Master Programme at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. We have converted a space at TENT into a temporary office. Following two projects from 2017 – the database ‘The Autonomous Archive’ and the publication ‘A Bed, A Chair and A Table’ – we shall use this space to carry on researching the Poortgebouw’s history.
