“The idea behind Motel Mozaïque, a two-day event in the context of Rotterdam 2001, Culture Capital, is hospitality. That is why visitors are offered a place to sleep in TENT for little money. In addition to the capsules, there are several dozen loose mattresses and the Multi Women’s Bed from artist Joep van Lieshout, a wide bunk bed that can accommodate sixteen people (m/f).
The sleepers at Motel Mozaïque are woken up the next day with a foot bath. Their shoes have been polished and a breakfast awaits them, provided by Joep van Lieshout. In Rotterdam they know what hospitality is.”
