'Me & You on a Golden Avenue' is the sequel to the gallery presentation staged by Saskia Janssen (b. 's Hertogenbosch, 1968) in July 2008. Central to this exhibition is the publication Blaka Watra Spiders, in which she reports on her encounters in the Blaka Watra users' room in Amsterdam during the period 2006 to 2008. The works to be seen in the exhibition were made with, by and for Blaka Watra's visitors. Some of these works were inspired by the journey she made to Surinam with three of the visitors in late 2008.Blaka Watra was one of first users' rooms in Amsterdam and is primarily frequented by an 'invisible' group of users with roots in Surinam. Saskia Janssen often works in conjunction with specific groups of people. This is driven by her personal fascination with making a situation 'visible'.
Saskia Sassen, en cambio, analiza principalmente procesos urbanos invisibles o difícilmente representables vinculados a la globalización -por ejemplo, la pérdida de soberanía por parte del estado-nación en la economía actual, o la hipotética unificación de ciudades Globales (NY-Londres-Tokyo) en un "mercado único".
