This publication was jointly commissioned by Black Diamond Press and International Project Space, Birmingham. Militant Bourgeois was originally commissioned by Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam and consisted of an exhibition, 03.06-07.07.2006, and a residency programme on location at Amsterdam Westpoort.After exhibiting at Bureau Amsterdam in June, Chris Evans presented the second part of his artwork ‘Militant Bourgeois’ with the opening of the Existentialist Retreat on a patch of land in the middle of a dual-carriageway road, on the edge of Amsterdam. This retreat offered artists a place to stay and make work.’Militant Bourgeois’ explores the tension between patronage and contemporary art production. The Existentialist Retreat is a social experiment devised to determine, or at least to speculate on, the extent to which the emergence of great art is dependent on patronage.
