2011-2012

• creativespaces.nl - email to ask for space in Vijzelstraat 68, Duintjes CS
  • amran has emailed
• NDSM wherf? > NDSM has no space available in the > 100 M2 range, have asked them 12 June 2013 - AndreasR
• NIMK?

Nieuwe anita
The vesna had contact with the people behind the nieuwe anita, which isn't a really viable option since they prohibit newcomers to the space.

Wg-terrein
We had contact with the people from the wg-terrein, which doesnt seem a really good option since it doesn't want temporary organisations for a few months. For long term, none of the spaces are big enough. Has cheap venue space though.

Joe's garage
Too small, no space of our own.

Mediamatic
They offered us a ~80m2 space at the Vijzelstraat 68, Duintjes CS, however there is no heating but has a room for storage and seperate room for hacking.

Mediamatic also invited us for the vangendthallen project, which are three big halls and various other places where they are looking into, we will keep in contact with them about this project. However, they mediamatic is slowly transferring to this new place, another point is that it doesn't have any infra like water, plumbing, or internet.

Justa is on it!

have this space until 01/11/12

Nimk
Location in progress and for our temporary hacknights.

(H)acta
Our "expected" place. - not ready until 2013 (summer). abandoning plans

Sauna Fenomeen/binnenpret
Too small, taken by LAG.
