Parool
“In Oostenburg, a golden square meter will soon ‘float’: ‘What is a home worth as sea levels rise?’
The artist collective RAAAF designed an artwork for Oostenburg. Soon, The Golden Square Meter will appear at the VOC quay.”
Stadscuratorium Amsterdam
“In the Golden Age,* VOC ships set sail from Oostenburg to obtain and trade valuable overseas goods. Today, the square meter itself has become the ultimate unit of trade. Instead of goods, it is now space — scarce and extremely expensive square meters — that is traded on a globalising real estate market.”
