Glasgow Film Festival Beauty and the Right to the Ugly

This film focuses on a Dutch community centre called ‘t Karregat in Eindhoven. Built in 1974, the centre was part of a social architectural experiment by the city council in order to transfer ownership of environments of living, work and leisure back to its citizens. Wendelien van Oldenborgh not only examines the centre’s rich history and potential, but actively uses the participative nature of the architecture and past and present users within the infrastructures of filming and editing. This one-off film screening is organised in collaboration with Collective, Edinburgh where Beauty and the Right to the Ugly is being shown as an installation from 17 January – 29 March 2015.
