Tetterode Unlocked is our four-part podcast series on Woonwerkpand Tetterode, organised for the occasion of Open Monumentdag
Tetterode is a former factory that produced typefaces before it was squatted in 1981, then subsequently legalised in 1986, at the same time as being purchased by the municipality. Shortly after that, ownership passed to the housing corporation Het Oosten. However, the Tetterodians were able to secure a rather remarkable lease arrangement with Stadgenoot in which they have complete control over the inner structure and workings of the building, while Stadgenoot maintains control over the shell.
Over the four episodes, tetatet host Charlie Clemoes explores some of the reasons for and unique consequences of this arrangement, through interview with a few experienced members of the Tetterode community, namely architect Mikel van Gelderen, artist and member of the bouwcomissie Chris Baaten and activist Rens den Hollander. The series also draws heavily on Charlie’s engagement with the book Zeggenschap Zonder Bezit (control without ownership), a kind of chronicle of the building and its inhabitants, published in 2019 and composed of essays written by various residents and other people associated with the building (e.g. politicians, academics, the head of Stadgenoot, but also people who grew up in the building, and some of the people who were there when it first got squatted.
In this fourth and final episode, we consider Tetterode as a case study through which to explore the question of how we best deal with Amsterdam's housing shortage and its problems with gentrification, which unfolds into a contemplation of Tetterode’s more ineffable and unquantifiable qualities. It features an interview with Rens Den Hollander and excerpts from Marien de Langen’s essay in Zeggenschap zonder Bezit.

Hijacking platforms, navigating visitors, re-owning spaces, graduating displays and audience limitations.
➰ 🔵
Whether naming it as "selecting", "curating", "editing", "publishing", or hosting, the attention to the display shines a light on curious ways of presenting content. This section focuses on the intermediary role of graphic design for bridging information, navigation and space. Here we include projects that activate the relevance of the audience, participants and social interactions.
Freja Kir (fanfare) and Femke Dekker in conversation with:
Yana Foque (Kunstverein), Richard Niessen (The Palace of the Typographic Masonry), Frederique Pissuis (Cosmos Carl)
➰ 🔵
Seductive, navigating, narrating skills.
The field of graphic design contains powerful tools that direct our everyday life and ways of sharing knowledge. With this in mind, we dedicate a focus to graphic design projects that dare to explore the ways of forming, sharing, triggering and parasiting communication solutions.
"Display" presents one out of three conversations produced for the fanfare exhibition, Unlearn, Display, Connect, for VABF, TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR 2020!➰ 🔵
