„Rare birds in these lands“ explores the rapprochement of the art and the business world in the Netherlands. On October the 21. 2012, four artists, three managers and a curator were invited to participate in a risk analysis workshop. The aim was to analyze the risks that an artist’s intervention in a company could represent for both partners. The voice-over of the video work is a direct transcription of statements gathered at this occasion, while the footage has been shot on location before and after the workshop.
