Sweet & Mild

Since 1985, each year a Euro­pean Union city has been des­ig­nated the ‘Euro­pean Cul­tural Cap­i­tal‘ – ‘a chance to show­case its cul­tural life and cul­tural devel­op­ment’. In 2001 Rot­ter­dam served as ‘cap­i­tal’, and the city there­fore played host to var­i­ous spe­cial cul­tural attrac­tions and exhi­bi­tions. One such exhi­bi­tion, held within an empty indus­trial ware­house, was enti­tled Par­a­sites* – pre­sent­ing designs of small-scale objects for unused urban sites which were mak­ing ‘par­a­sitic’ use of exist­ing infra­struc­ture.
