Fucking Good Art

FGA is a magazine and editorial art project for field research into art and culture’s local conditions. Artists, editors, and free-style researchers Robert Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma are interested in oral histories, counterculture, self-organization, and Do It Together, or DIT. Previously, in ‘FGA# 38 What Life Could Be’, they explored the Swiss tradition of housing cooperatives as a form of living and working together. In the ‘Countryside Issues’ series, they examined why artists in various European countries are leaving the city. These publications inspired their current research in their home city of Rotterdam, where, despite the current 2015 Housing Act and the Rotterdam Cooperative Housing Action Plan of 2019, collective and self-organized forms of housing are not gaining ground.
