Spain.

www.fluentfluent.org/praxis

fluent is excited to call for candidates from different fields of knowledge to apply for the third edition of PRAXIS, a study programme taking place from September 8th through December 12th, 2025.

This intensive in—person educational apparatus runs during 14 weeks (180 contact hours) and aims at instigating a theoretical and practice–based learning process that dives into the systems that constitute our material and immaterial lives. 

The programme is structured in four dimensions (or learning modules):

I MODULE: VITAL DIMENSION

II MODULE: THE DIMENSION OF LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY

III MODULE: STRUCTURAL DIMENSION

IV MODULE: CORPOREAL & MOVING DIMENSION

The faculty is composed by a group of guest professors including Anne Boyer, Manuel Segade, Yayo Herrero, Julia Morandeira, Hypatia Vourloumis, Paulino Viota, La Ortiga, Billy Bultheel, Alejandro Alonso Díaz, Itziar Okariz, Andrea Rodrigo, Yaiza Hernández and many others.

Those interested in taking part in PRAXIS must submit their applications by June 29th via e–mail to

– A letter expressing how you relate to collective study and why is this period in Santander meaningful to your practice (no longer than 800 words).

– A CV including the most relevant work instances to their current practice. 

As part of the programme, fluent provides all participants with free accommodation in town as well as five grants to selected candidates. 

How can a transitory, moving community gathered in a small Atlantic city contribute to a shift in the social landscape within and beyond its direct context?

PRAXIS is generously supported by the Santander City Hall, and Fundación Banco Santander.

Lucie Lanzini now represented by Whitehouse Gallery

Whitehouse Gallery is proud to announce that Lucie Lanzini joined the gallery.

 
 
Portrait Lucie Lanzini © photo Antoine Vanoverschelde
___________________________________________________________
 
Lucie Lanzini (°1986, Belfort, France) lives and works in Brussels. She graduated at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and continued her study at Emily Carr University of Art and Design for a year. She did a number of residences since then.
Lanzini won various Belgian prizes, including the Art Contest in 2010, the Macors/Médiatine prize in 2018, and she designed the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles stand at Art Brussels in 2019. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at institutions such as the Friche la Belle de Mai in Marseille, the Centre Wallonie Bruxelles in Paris, the Botanique in Brussels, the Enghien Biennial in 2020 and recently at the Beaufort Triennial 2024, which took place along the Belgian coast.
Her work is represented in private collections in Belgium, France and Luxembourg. She currently teaches at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (Arba-esa), where she is in charge of the Sculpture course, and she is a regular contributor to various other art schools, where she gives workshops and is invited to give lectures and participate in jurys.  
  
 
Lucie Lanzini elaborates her works, that is situated between sculpture and installation, by means of tension. She creates them by juxtaposing materials that are often paradoxical – raw, organic, or moulded – at scales that disrupt the original function of the elements she symbolizes. Thanks to demanding production techniques, including sandblasting, silverplating, oxidation of glass, moulding, imprinting, etc. – Lanzini is forever pushing at the limits of her material knowledge. She is drawn to materials for their functional value and their capacity to transform the object. The result is disturbing, sometimes strange (…) She has fun with trompe l’œil, but does not believe in this illusion. Instead, she reminds us of the functions of a sculpture. (Extract from a text by Antoinette Jattiot)

Invitation 6—8 June: opening weekend summer exhibitions

Weekend 6—8 June
 

Fernando Marques Penteado,
detail from Dinner is Served, 2017

 
 

Opening weekend
summer exhibitions
Fernando Marques Penteado,
Common Ground makers market  
and Info~Angel
 
 

On Friday 6 June at 18.00, we will kick off the opening weekend of the summer exhibitions in the presence of Brazilian artist Fernando Marques Penteado. In Tender, Trivial, Totemic, Table Talks, an exhibition comprising found objects, installations with snacks and embroidered works, Penteado transforms the exhibition space into a lively site of exchange. Info~Angel’s new archival presentation Atelier Kern Rechteroever reflects on the 2013 urban renewal study 'Common Ground’. 

 

Inspired by 'Common Ground' we are already moving a pebble down the river on our way to creating space for exchange and connection across Rechteroever. On Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 June NW organises Gedeelde Grond ('Common Ground') a makers' market with local crafts performances and a Repair Café at Lokaal Dendy. Our opening weekend coincides with the ninth edition of the arts festival Kunstoevers organised by the city of Aalst. More on that below. Hope to see you soon at NW!

Fernando Marques Penteado, Dinner is Served, 2017

 
 

Tender, Trivial, Totemic,
Table Talks

Fernando Marques Penteado
 
 

Fernando Penteado Marques pays attention to the often overlooked aesthetics of everyday life. In Tender, Trivial, Totemic Table Talks, the artist collects tables from Aalst thrift shops and dresses them up with textiles and found objects. Totem-like sculptures, are decorated with snacks prepared by local communities. With carefully composed constellations of objects and embroidered artworks, Penteado invites us to reflect on the mechanisms that determine who is welcome, who is excluded, and what deserves our attention.

Info~Angel:

Atelier Kern Rechteroever

 
 

This edition of the Info~Angel archive presentations looks back at the urban renewal plan Common Ground (2013), which aimed to develop the Right Bank (Rechteroever) as a shared space. More than a decade later, the largely unimplemented plan by Architecture Workroom Brussels, 51N4E and Technum continues to inspire. This Info~Angel reflects on the possibilities for the future of our neighbourhood. What could breathe new life into this proposal? 
 
 
 
 
   
 

Weekend 7—8 June

Coming Saturday opening exhibitions Warre Mulder – Corentin Descamps

Posted on
 
 
Welcome to the opening Saturday May 31, 4 – 7 PM
 
May 31 – July 5
 

Warre Mulder


I fool you not, my friend. And I shall describe a part of what I have seen

_____________________________________________________________________________
 

                                                             Corentin Descamps                                                            

 

Tout le monde aime papa
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
Warre Mulder (°1984) studied painting in Antwerp and now lives in a polder village in Zeeland. In his studio, colourful ceramic pieces sit alongside printed texts, blocks of plasticine, pots of paint, and dozens of instruments. Mulder tinkers, explores, reflects. Sometimes his works emerge from a chance juxtaposition of materials; just as often, they are nourished by the sculptor’s wide-ranging interests.
For his exhibition ‘I fool you not, my friend. And I shall describe a part of what I have seen’, Mulder engaged with the curious medieval book ‘The Travels of Sir John Mandeville’. He uses Mandeville’s work as a starting point to reflect – through his idiosyncratic sculptural approach – on the scope of storytelling and imagination. Mandeville may not have been an accurate traveller, but he collected stories – and with them, perspectives: perspectives from the Middle Ages on people and places known mostly through tales. Mulder continues that conversation. His colourful sculptures build on Mandeville’s collage-like characters. They are not mimetic representations: anyone consulting the original text will notice that Mulder’s figures diverge from the descriptions. He envisioned them anew, letting form follow fantasy. (From the text of Sixtine Bérard)
 
Corentin Descamps (°1997, Namur) lives and works in Brussels. He began his studies at ESA Le 75, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, and obtained his master degree in visual arts at ENSAV La Cambre in Brussels.
The exhibition ‘Tout le monde aime papa’ presents a series of paintings characterized by their minimalist approach and pursuit of immediate impact. Each work is composed of a flesh-toned background, developed through the layering of thin coats, thereby creating a nuanced depth and subtle richness. The subject, applied in bitumen—a dense, glossy, and symbolic material—disrupts this balance, introducing a materialized tension between the softness of the background and the roughness of the material. The themes explored are deeply connected to the environment in which the artist grew up: the Walloon countryside, a territory marked by violence, debauchery, and exuberance. These are not external narratives, but lived realities—integrated and absorbed. These scenes are ingrained in his memory. The artist approaches them with severity and derision, but also with a measure of tenderness, as they speak of people, gestures, and places that were dear to him and that, despite their harshness, truly mattered.

[n0dine] (studio) lessons from diffractions by Esth Fantuzzi
30/05/2025 — lecture performance

[EN] (studio) lessons from diffractions is an itinerant study that, for now, has taken the shape of a lecture performance, a living experiment of body dysmorphia. An actor stands in front of a projector, while 16mm film loops, 35mm slides, spoken word, and distorted sounds pour out. The body becomes a screen.

[NL] (studio) lessons from diffractions is een nomadisch onderzoek dat zich op dit moment als lecture performance vormt, een levend experiment van lichaamsdimorfie. Een acteur staat voor een projector, terwijl 16mm filmloops, 35mm dia’s, spoken word en vervormde geluiden naar buiten stromen. Het lichaam wordt een scherm.

[FR] (studio) lessons from diffractions est une recherche itinérante qui prend actuellement la forme d’une lecture performance, une expérience vivante de dimorphisme corporel. Un acteur se tient devant un projecteur, tandis que des boucles de films 16 mm, des diapositives 35 mm, spoken word et des sons déformés en sortent. Le corps devient un écran.

[n0dine] Silent Heritage by Babi Avelino & Various Artists
14/06 – 21/06/2025 — expo

[EN] Silent Heritage presents a critical reinterpretation of portraiture. Where Babi Avelino tackles Brazilian colonial painting (16th – 19th century) with digital erasing techniques, Various Artists display ‘detoxified’ portraits of political figures active around Calais during the ongoing European migrant crisis. The new portraits invite viewers to reconsider their roles not as icons of power, but as individuals implicated in a complex, often dehumanising system.

[NL] Silent Heritage brengt een kritische herinterpretatie van portretkunst. Waar Babi Avelino de Braziliaanse koloniale schilderkunst (16e-19e eeuw) aanpakt met digitale uitwis technieken, creëerde Various Artists ‘ontgifte’ portretten van politieke figuren actief tijdens de Europese migrantencrisis rond Calais. De nieuwe portretten nodigen uit om de rol van de geportretteerden te heroverwegen, niet als iconen van macht, maar als individuen die betrokken zijn bij een complex, ontmenselijkend systeem.

[FR] Silent Heritage apporte une réinterprétation critique de l’art du portrait. Alors que Babi Avelino s’attaque à la peinture coloniale brésilienne (XVIe-XIXe siècle) avec des techniques d’effacement numériques, Various Artists a créé des portraits ‘désintoxiqués’ de figures politiques actives pendant la crise des migrants en Europe autour de Calais. Les nouveaux portraits invitent les spectateurs à reconsidérer leurs rôles non pas en tant qu’icônes du pouvoir, mais en tant qu’individus impliqués dans un système complexe et souvent déshumanisant.

Opening on Friday 13 June, 18:00 – 21:00
Expo visits possible from Monday to Friday 10:00 – 17:00 or by appointment (m, ).

Holding breath: A dying poem – Act II

Posted on

 

Holding breath: A dying poem

Act II: Saturday, May 31st. 11 a.m.

Calle Luis Hoyos Sainz 2, (int) 
39001, Santander,
Spain.

www.fluentfluent.org

Join us this Saturday for Act II of Holding breath: A dying poem, presenting Comienzo a performance by Amaia Urra, followed by a reading of Jovendelaperla’s Me muero, Te quiero by Mariano Blatt.

Following the exhibition’s first act, in which Pol Wah Tse + digestivo unfolded a diagrammatic approach to volume, Act II looks at the interweaving of language and material realities, at the intersection of evasiveness, love, disappearance and poetry.

Holding breath: A dying poem is a year–long exhibition that considers how transmission, change and affection reverberate on us, once objects and bodies are no longer present. 

Thinking through logistical and maintenance systems as spectral forces, the exhibition rehearses different temporalities by juxtaposing multiple durations, compositions and assemblages of work.

Across seven acts (overture –act I to V– and epilogue), the exhibition’s organising principle aims to reveal the traces that, beyond physicality, movement and connectivity provoke. In doing so, it tests the political configurations that exist within such immaterial space.

The image contained in the title is this of an oxygen curve being exhaled from the mouth, taking the shape of a vertical concavity. As it evaporates into the atmosphere, the body’s warmth dissipates into a wider mass of air. We breathe and the self dilutes into the environment cyclically, just as the world enters in us, making space through circulation.

The cyclical patterns of logistic capitalism oscillate between violence and desire, suffocating life and exacerbating extraction, verging towards total mobility. Shaping a space of intersections between sounds, texts, performances and objects, the exhibition’s repertoire looks into that jointure where echoes, presences, vibrations and ties, reveal our structural fragilities and shared fractures.

Act III will take place on July 12th featuring works by Nobuko Tsuchiya 土屋信子, Marouane Bahkti, Jonás de Murias and Gloria Grace Dennis.

 
 

Holding breath: A dying poem is generously supported by Consejería de Cultura del Gobierno de Cantabria, and Act II counts with support by Fundación Santander Creativa, in the framework of their initiative Brecha.

OUT NOW! Conversations on Expanded Publishing

𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 is part of .expub, an ongoing research and practice led by a consortium of artistic and independent publishers experimenting with new and hybrid publishing formats. Over two years, the Institute of Network Cultures, Aksioma, Echo Chamber, and Nero Editions conducted projects and experiments aimed at building an operational model for Expanded Publishing. These conversations form a key building block of this model.

The consortium members interviewed Clusterduck, Silvio Lorusso, Thomas Spies, Irene de Craen, Geoff Cox, Gijs de Heij, Yancey Strickler,  Kenneth Goldsmith, and Dušan Barok. 
 

Although already available online and in its web-to-print version, the conversation will also be published in a new edition of .𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙪𝙗 | 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜, an experimental digital and print book that explores the practical applications of expanded publishing. This edition will also include a publishing manifesto and essays by Tommaso Campagna, Marta Ceccarelli, Sepp Eckenhaussen, Geert Lovink, Carolina Valente Pinto, Ezequiel Soriano, Annette Gilbert, Jordi Viader Guerrero, and Ilan Manouach.

The book will be launched on 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺, at the Expanded Publishing Fest #4, at 𝗮𝘁 𝗢𝗧𝟯𝟬𝟭 (@𝗼𝘁𝟯𝟬𝟭𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗺)! SAVE THE DATE! More info soon!

Just like its subject of research, the project is open and expandable. What we are publishing today, is one current and possible version of it. From speech mediated by video call, to collaborative note-taking on etherport, to hyperlinked online text and printable versions – the expandable conversations are a theoretical and practical exploration of the moving elements of publishing.

THE VOID X AYASU | Video Essay Trilogy

Afbeelding

As conflicts escalate worldwide, it feels like peace has become a naive fantasy—displaced by militarization, populism, and a constant state of anxiety. In this session, Donatella Della Ratta, Lesia Kulchynska, and Iva Ramuš Cvetkovič explore how geopolitics—once perceived as distant—now shape our daily realities, influenced by historical narratives, propaganda, AI-generated content, and rigid frameworks. By examining these forces, the speakers aim to glimpse new ways of envisioning possible futures.

These 3 live-video essays were developed in the context of the 16th edition of the Tactics and Practice conference “Are you a Software Update?“. The conference was organized by Aksioma, Institute for Contemporary Art and took place in Ljubljana on February 25th, 2025. The videos are the outcome of a live streaming performance by Iva Ramuš Cvetkovič, Lesia Kulchynska and Donatella della Ratta hosted in the hybrid pop-up studio of THE VOID.

À Molenbeek, se tient un café, dans lequel on entre comme si on arrivait chez soi, et ce depuis un siècle. Au cours des 50 dernières années, 
il a été entre les mains de la même famille de résidents grecs de Molenbeek ayant leurs racines sur les bord de la mer Noire.

Durant ce temps, des musicien·e·s sont venu·e·s animer régulièrement l'ambiance de ce monument du quartier. 
Ce samedi sera leur dernière ouverture, et nous y serons pour leur dire au revoir et écouter une dernière fois leur musique.

Cas-co NIEUWS: juni ’25

Cas-co NIEUWS: juni

JUNI

Het seizoen dijt zachtjes uit richting zomer, maar bij Cas-co kolkt het nog één maand van beweging. Maar liefst zes nieuwe kunstenaars betrekken een atelier in de Vaartstraat. Het publieke programma zwiert tussen trage zorg en ritmische confrontatie. Kom luisteren, kijken, praten, drukken, dansen en verdwalen—voor we het seizoen uitzwaaien met een vlag, een stem en een zinderende slotnoot. Beeld: performance door Collective-in-residence Bienvenue in Off the Grid. Foto: Jente Waerzeggers.

ACTIVITEITEN

Support

Het ‘support’ programma van Cas-co stimuleert praktijkontwikkeling, ontmoeting en kennisdeling tussen kunstenaars, cultuurwerkers en curatoren. Videokunstenaar Alex Verhaest deelt in een masterclass op 29 mei haar ervaring met storytelling in film en multimediale installaties, waarin technologie en cinema samenkomen. Op 12 juni verwelkomen we curator, kunsthistoricus en cultuurwerker Adrienne van der Werf (Nesse, Publiek Park, e.a.) voor een lunch talk & studio visits. Tot slot exploreert de Brusselse kunstenaar en illustrator Guillaume Jannes op 16 juni, tijdens diens masterclass ‘The Dancing Table’, zine–making aan de hand van experimentele print- en houtsnijtechnieken. 

Off the Grid

Off the Grid, het residentie- en presentatieplatform van Cas-co, besluit het seizoen met twee presentatieprojecten die voortkomen uit een bredere samenwerking: Cas-co werkt samen met Kunstpodium T en host jaarlijks een groep kunstenaars uit hun Master Apprentice-programma in Off the Grid. Vanaf 12 juni presenteren Bob de Bell, Tijn Gerards, Pauline Ymkje Meijer, Lili Struik en Wessel Verrijt ‘Becoming Between Between‘, een zintuiglijke ontmoeting in het tussengebied tussen materiaal en lichaam, orde en chaos. Gelijktijdig opent Tine Deboelpaep’s ‘No Doors on Their Mouths‘, een nieuwe editie van het Sad Artist Department: een participatieve scenografie en geluidswerk waarin emoties als onzekerheid en teleurstelling centraal staan. Op 19 juni zwaaien we het voorjaar uit tijdens onze Seasonal Closure, die bestaat uit een bezoek aan de verschillende presentaties in Off the Grid, een talk door onze nieuwe artist-in-residence Cristina Lavosi (in het kader van Let’s Talk Leuven) en de inwijding van een nieuwe vlag door Dries Segers. Hou onze socials in de gaten voor meer informatie!

Grafisch Lab

Met het grafisch lab op de site van maakleerplek wil Cas-co iedereen op een laagdrempelige manier toegang geven tot de infrastructuur en expertise die nodig is om te experimenteren, te co-creëren en te blijven leren op vlak van print en fotografie. Het programma bestaat uit een wekelijks open lab op donderdag (18-22:00), tweewekelijkse initiaties en occasionele workshops of masterclasses. Lise Van Den Broucke neemt je op 14 juni mee in de wereld van diepdruk. Het Italiaanse duo Cristina Cusani & Dafne Salis sluit op 27 juni dit seizoen met de workshop ‘Stitching Memories’ voor, waarbij elke deelnemer wordt gevraagd een familiefoto mee te nemen die hen herinnert aan een gebeurtenis die ze zouden willen veranderen.

OPEN CALL

Nog drie dagen resteren om te appliqueren voor een residentie in Off the Grid. Voor de komende twee die seizoenen zoeken we twee individuele kunstenaars (artists-in-residence) en één collectief (collective-in-residence) met een praktijk in de beeldende kunst, performance of op de intersectie met andere disciplines. De residenties starten met een ontwikkelingsfase met een specifieke insteek – of het nu gaat om een nieuw onderzoek, de verdieping van de eigen positie of experiment met nieuwe media – en eindigt in een publieke presentatie in het kader van een collectief samengesteld programma. Kunstenaars gevestigd in België of buurlanden kunnen zich kandidaat stellen tot 1 juni 2025 (middernacht).

RESIDENTEN

Off the Grid

Van eind mei tot eind juni verblijft Tine Deboelpaep in Off the Grid. In haar werk onderzoekt ze hoe ideeën over zelfredzaamheid en welzijn historisch gevormd zijn door politieke en economische systemen. Haar praktijk, gestoeld op intersectioneel feminisme en zorgzame samenwerking, vertaalt zich in participatieve installaties en performances. Op 12 juni opent ze No Doors on Their Mouths, een nieuwe editie van het Sad Artist Department: een intieme scenografie rond kwetsbaarheid, verlies en collectieve zorg.

Later deze maand start Cristina Lavosi, een in Den Haag gevestigde kunstenaar en praktijkgericht onderzoeker, als de nieuwe artist-in-residence in Off the Grid. Haar werk richt zich op het blootleggen van institutioneel geweld en het bevragen van dominante machtssystemen. Tijdens haar residentie onderzoekt ze hoe politieke en culturele instellingen via beeld en taal dominante verhalen construeren, en hoe die kritisch kunnen worden gedeconstrueerd en gehercontextualiseerd. Cristina presenteert haar praktijk tijdens onze seasonal closure op 19 juni. De bevindingen van haar residentie worden gepresenteerd eind september.

Ateliers (1/2)

Deze maanden brengen in onze atelierwerking een grote wissel van wacht. We namen afscheid van stiel en Lore Stessel – beiden een vast begrip in Cas-co – en danken hen uit de diepte van ons hart voor de gedeelde tijd. We maakten ruimte voor nog meer nieuwe kunstenaars: Joris Perdieus, Aya Koné en Mieke Winters trokken de laatste weken in in hun nieuwe atelier. Joris Perdieus is beeldend kunstenaar, scenograaf, geluidsontwerper en onderzoeker. Zijn praktijk beweegt zich binnen het veld van sensoriële scenografie en onderzoekt de betekenis van alleen-zijn in de ervaring van toeschouwerschap. Mieke Winters is nieuwsgierig naar de interactie tussen haar werk, de toeschouwer en de omgeving waarin alles zich bevindt. Haar sculpturen zijn objecten die een soort personificatie zijn van menselijke verlangens en behoeften. Aya Koné’s werk onderzoekt de confrontatie tussen cultuur, erfgoed en identiteit binnen de contexten waarin een lichaam zich beweegt. Haar praktijk fungeert als een vorm van herstel, gebaseerd op herhaling, (her)vertaling en terugvordering. Meer info volgt in de volgende nieuwsbrief!

Ateliers (2/2)

Carole Louis, Ika Schwander & Judith Engelen trekken de komende weken in. Carole Louis creëert tragi-komische installaties en performances die vanzelfsprekende overtuigingen en waarden ontleden en op scherp zetten. Vanuit een speelse beeldtaal, vaak gebaseerd op popcultuur en alledaagse objecten, toont ze de paradoxen van menselijke verlangens en maatschappelijke normen. Haar werk balanceert tussen absurdisme en kritiek, en activeert ruimtes via performance, sculptuur, geluid en video. Ika Schwander werkt met tekeningen, performance en film, en onderzoekt de gedragingen en biologie van de mens in overgangstoestanden. Haar praktijk vertrekt vanuit het lichaam en laat zich lezen als een poëtisch onderzoek naar transformatie en identiteit. Ze deelt de studio met Judith Engelen, met wie ze intensief samenwerkte voor de productie ‘Howl Baby Howl’. Judith maakt visuele, associatieve performances waarin snelle technologie samensmelt met trage literatuur. Vanuit haar achtergrond in klinische psychologie en haar interesse in psychoanalyse ontstaan vervreemdende beelden die balanceren tussen droom en waarneming. Meer info volgt in de volgende nieuwsbrief!

Diamond Days

Admittedly, we’ve kept you waiting a little while since the sensory whirwlind of Oscillation Festival. But, the wait will make the eventual return all the sweeter, with three events happening the coming weeks: Aay Liparoto’s post-residency presentation is taking place this week (registration required), Second Sundays marks its diamond jubilee with Vera Cavallin, and our beloved local label Futura Resistzena hosts an LP release featuring James Parker and Joel Stern.

Post-residency presentation
30 May – 18h – @Q-O2 – free
Aay Liparoto

Let’s Talk Queer Pleasure & Shame 💕 – you’re warmly invited to a work-in-progress sharing of a collective autobiography project exploring queer pleasure, shame, and embodiment. This project weaves together guided touch and audio-based storytelling, grounded in a series of interviews about the impact of laws and silence on queer lives in the UK. You are invited into a space of connection and reflection—with your body and with others. This is our first test run, so we welcome your patience, openness, and reflections. With care, Aay.
This sharing moment is limited to 12 participants max, please sign up here; bring a smartphone and headphones (no data required); come with a buddy, partner, or friend – or we’ll gently pair you with someone.
[More info and registration]

Second Sundays #60
8 June – 17h (16h30) – @Q-O2 – free
Vera Cavallin
The diamond iteration of Second Sundays will be hosted by Brussels-based harpist and world traveller Vera Cavallin. Drawing on time spent in places like Palestine, Congo, and Romania, she shares a personal musical narrative shaped by lived experience, where sounds and context intertwine.
Second Sundays is a monthly series initiated by Q-O2. Each session a new guest is invited to share an insight into their own listening, playing and speaking about a selection of sound and music that is important to their thinking or practice. The sessions try to put value on listening to recorded music in a social setting as a space for discussion.

Concert
16 June – 20h (doors 19h30) – @Q-O2 – free

Uitnodiging: damdam Harvest Festival 2025

Posted on
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

damdam Harvest Festival is een publiek programma van acht dagen georganiseerd door damdam, een collectief van collectieven die voortkomt uit het Curatorial Programme van de Appel, het Lumbung Practice Temporary Master Programme van het Sandberg Instituut en het Collective Study Programme van Gudskul in Indonesië. Tussen 28 mei en 6 juni 2025 host damdam in de Appel en op andere locaties in en buiten Amsterdam verschillende samenkomsten om hun ecosysteem te introduceren. Een feestelijke eerste oefening in coalitievorming door contradictie, vanuit het geloof in een platform waar we kunnen werken vanuit onze worstelingen, waar we collectiviteiten kunnen uitbreiden en inspiratie kunnen vinden in het werk van verwante collectieven. Hieronder volgt een uitnodiging van damdam:

Voortbouwend op 25 jaar verwante experimenten van Lumbung die hebben geleid tot lumbung tijdens documenta fifteen, komen we dit jaar voor het eerst samen met collectieven om duurzame economieën te beoefenen en na te denken over onze collectieve infrastructuren, gedeelde praktijken, gemeenschappelijke hulpbronnen en waarden. Een van onze waarden is dat we belang hechten aan het proces, in plaats van ons te concentreren op de productie van op zichzelf staande kunstwerken of tentoonstellingen. We richten ons op elkaar en op de relaties die ons verbinden. Onze curatoriële benadering is verankerd in de politiek van vriendschap, onderlinge afhankelijkheid, vertrouwen, collectieve vreugde en betrokkenheid in Amsterdam en onze lokale gemeenschappen.

Naast het in kaart brengen van onze middelen en behoeften in ons ecosysteem, bouwen we aan een gemeenschappelijke basis en denken we na over wat we kunnen te planten voor de toekomst. Uit dit proces zijn verschillende zelforganiserende werkgroepen ontstaan rond gemeenschappelijke urgenties: gemeenschap, land, economie, print, publiceren, pedagogiek, documenteren en archiveren. Tijdens het Harvest Festival 2025 delen we ons begrip van de lumbung-praktijk en lopende processen via nongkrongs (bijeenkomsten), workshops, filmvertoningen, discussies, diners en feesten. Welke toekomst kunnen we ons voorstellen als we ons werk heroriënteren rond delen, gemeenschappelijke ritmes en solidariteit?

Dit weekend in de Appel
Every Act of Struggle: Afsluitend programma
 Zaterdag 24 mei, 11:00 – 20:30 uur, meer info en tickets

Het afsluitende programma van Every Act of Struggle is samengesteld door School of Intrusions en de deelnemende kunstenaars. De sessies zijn bedoeld als een verlengstuk van het onderzoek van de kunstenaars, en maken dit onderzoek toegankelijk voor een breder publiek. De sessies zijn open onderzoeksuitwisselingen met kunstenaars en onderzoekers die betrokken zijn bij het project of wier teksten en projecten tijdens het onderzoek naar voren zijn gekomen.

Every Act of Struggle: Boycott, an Act of Culture
Zondag 25 mei, 19:15 uur in Filmtheater Kriterion, meer info en tickets

Deze tweede vertoning in het kader van de huidige tentoonstelling en onderzoeksproject van de Appel, Every Act of Struggle: Inclusion and Assembly, zoomt in op twee specifieke gebeurtenissen die verband houden met culturele boycots en verzet tegen gewelddadige apartheidsregimes: in Zuid-Afrika en Palestina.

Before Dawn (1988) van Maarten Rens
Deze documentaire, die in 1988 door de VARA op de Nederlandse televisie werd uitgezonden, volgt de CASA-conferentie die in Amsterdam plaatsvond, waar Zuid-Afrikaanse kunstenaars bijeenkwamen, van wie velen in ballingschap leefden. De film weerspiegelt de dynamiek van cultuur door middel van een veelheid aan optredens en debatteert over de rol van kunst, de culturele boycot en de rol van de pers. Regisseur Maarten Rens zal de film inleiden.

The Wanted 18 (2014) van Amer Shomali
Filmmaker Amer Shomali was zes jaar oud toen in 1987 de Eerste Intifada begon. De inwoners van het dorp Beit Sahour grepen de kans om tegen de Israëlische bezetting te vechten toen ze 18 koeien konden kopen, omdat ze daarmee Israëlische melk konden boycotten. Het was de eerste stap op weg naar zelfvoorziening. The Wanted 18 is een stop-motionanimatie die ons beter laat kennismaken met een kudde koeien en ook archiefmateriaal, interviews en reconstructies laat zien.

Life with Fifi: Boeklezing en workshop
Zondag 25 mei, 15:00 tot 17:00 uur, meer info en registratie

Op zondag 25 mei vindt in de Appel de boekpresentatie plaats van Life with Fifi, een boek voor alle leeftijden geschreven door schrijver en curator Kris Dittel en kunstenaar en ontwerper Angelica Falkeling. In aanwezigheid van de hond Fifi zullen Kris en Angelica voorlezen uit het boek en reflecties delen over wat het betekent om voor een ander wezen te zorgen en om hun wereld binnen te treden. Het publiek krijgt kleurplaten en ander knutselmateriaal, zodat ze kunnen tekenen terwijl ze naar de verhalen luisteren.

Opening exhibitions Warre Mulder – Corentin Descamps

Welcome to the opening May 31, 4 – 7 PM

Warre Mulder


I fool you not, my friend. And I shall describe a part of what I have seen

_____________________________________________________________________________
 

                                                             Corentin Descamps                                                            

 

Tout le monde aime papa
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
Warre Mulder (°1984) studied painting in Antwerp and now lives in a polder village in Zeeland. In his studio, colourful ceramic pieces sit alongside printed texts, blocks of plasticine, pots of paint, and dozens of instruments. Mulder tinkers, explores, reflects. Sometimes his works emerge from a chance juxtaposition of materials; just as often, they are nourished by the sculptor’s wide-ranging interests.
For his exhibition ‘I fool you not, my friend. And I shall describe a part of what I have seen’, Mulder engaged with the curious medieval book ‘The Travels of Sir John Mandeville’. He uses Mandeville’s work as a starting point to reflect – through his idiosyncratic sculptural approach – on the scope of storytelling and imagination. Mandeville may not have been an accurate traveller, but he collected stories – and with them, perspectives: perspectives from the Middle Ages on people and places known mostly through tales. Mulder continues that conversation. His colourful sculptures build on Mandeville’s collage-like characters. They are not mimetic representations: anyone consulting the original text will notice that Mulder’s figures diverge from the descriptions. He envisioned them anew, letting form follow fantasy. (From the text of Sixtine Bérard)
 
Corentin Descamps (°1997, Namur) lives and works in Brussels. He began his studies at ESA Le 75, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, and obtained his master degree in visual arts at ENSAV La Cambre in Brussels.
The exhibition ‘Tout le monde aime papa’ presents a series of paintings characterized by their minimalist approach and pursuit of immediate impact. Each work is composed of a flesh-toned background, developed through the layering of thin coats, thereby creating a nuanced depth and subtle richness. The subject, applied in bitumen—a dense, glossy, and symbolic material—disrupts this balance, introducing a materialized tension between the softness of the background and the roughness of the material. The themes explored are deeply connected to the environment in which the artist grew up: the Walloon countryside, a territory marked by violence, debauchery, and exuberance. These are not external narratives, but lived realities—integrated and absorbed. These scenes are ingrained in his memory. The artist approaches them with severity and derision, but also with a measure of tenderness, as they speak of people, gestures, and places that were dear to him and that, despite their harshness, truly mattered.

NEW ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

Deniz Eroglu

Deniz Eroglu (he/him) b. 1981, is an artist and filmmaker whose practice explores the complexities of identity, marginalisation and belonging. Working across sculpture, film, and installation, Eroglu often transforms everyday spaces and objects into reflections on diaspora, personal histories, and social dynamics.

His debut feature film, The Shipwrecked Triptych, premiered this year at IFFR. It’s an intricately staged three-part anthology film that spans different historical epochs. First Look Film Festival in New York called it “a surreal, often comic, sometimes unnerving, and always fascinating treatise on contemporary Germany, its meaning, its history, and its libidinal unconscious.”

During his residency at Air Berlin Alexanderplatz, Eroglu will undertake research for his next feature film, which will be set in Berlin.

Eroglu is a 2014 graduate of Städelschule in Frankfurt and was a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam from 2016 to 2017. In recent years his work has been exhibited at SMK -The Danish National Gallery, MAXXI Museum, Sharjah Art Foundation, Stedelijk Museum, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Museum für Neue Kunst, Kunstmuseum Brandts, Pera Museum, ARKEN Museum, Kunstmuseum Bochum and Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof.

Residency period: May–August 2025
This residency is supported by Mondriaan Funds.

 

Jacob Lambrecht

Jacob Lambrecht (me) is a person who is attempting to live a life that is meaningful to him. In this search I have stumbled on art as one of the spaces of immense potential to practice the freedoms and humanity we possess as people. I like ‘being an artist’, it allows me to move through this space without being attached to anything except what appears as meaningful in the melting pot of absurdities around us. I love art! I believe in energy! I love that I still have so much to learn until I die! I am scared but hopeful for my future! I love the people I meet because of it! I love the art of my friends! I hate that I don’t earn enough money! I love the people around me! I am now! freejacob.com !

Residency period: May–August 2025

Listen back to ABA’s Air Salon hosted by Jacob Lambrecht here.
 

An hour-long program that attempts to sketch a glimmer of the spiritual and creative life I encountered when living in Lubumbashi, Congo last year. This is done trough fieldrecordings, music I discovered and listened to, some writing, and interviews with some of the people from my enviroment. The central question in these interviews “Comment tu prie?” arose from my own realisation that I did not know how to pray, a fundamental activity in Congolese life. The richness of the answers I got is incredible. The second half of the program is without talking and consists solely of music, slam poetry and performance by artists I enountered in Lubumbashi.

ABa’s Air Salon is hosted by Colaboradio via Freies Radio Berlin/Brandenburg. Broadcasted via 88,4 MHz in Berlin and 90,7 MHz in Potsdam.

UPCOMING

It’s okay now

ABA Projectspace | 10–20 June
Isabelle Konrad & Gloria Müller

It’s okay now is an autobiographical work that, through the practice of remembering, questions, analyzes, and compares the origins and identities of the two protagonists. Remembering serves not only as a means of reflection but also as a form of dreaming and processing the past. Fictional scenes and archival material intertwine to create a narrative that merges personal and collective memories.

Opening night: 9 June at 18:00 

Further open the following days:

14 June, karaoke at 18:00

15 & 19 June, performance at 18:00

Finissage: 20 June at 18:00

Holding breath: A dying poem – Act I

Holding breath: A dying poem

Act I: Saturday, May 24th
12 p.m.

Calle Luis Hoyos Sainz 2, (int) 
39001, Santander,
Spain.

Join us this Saturday for Act I of Holding breath: A dying poem, a new commissioned work by Pol Wah Tse in complicity with digestivo.

Following the exhibition’s opening Overture, Act I undertakes the contradiction of a beginning: it unfolds as a co–implicated process that begins in the middle. Bringing together Pol Wah Tse’s work in dialogue with digestivo –an initiative focused on correspondence and resonance between practices through process–centered and collaborative dynamics–, Act I functions as an iteration or echo from a previous exhibition, including the processes discarded during a shared time.

Departing from a diagrammatic approach to volume, it proposes a series of marking exercises: sculptural works that test the plasticity of their material limits, playing with the stains, the residues and the imprints of an action that has already taken place. Some of these pieces will remain on view in future acts of Holding breath: A dying poem, while others have been conceived from a contingent logic. They will be consumed during the course of the event, as annotations or counter–movements that allow language to flourish regardless it bearing fruit.

Holding breath: A dying poem is a year–long exhibition that considers how transmission, change and affection reverberate on us, once objects and bodies are no longer present. 

Thinking through logistical and maintenance systems as spectral forces, the exhibition rehearses different temporalities by juxtaposing multiple durations, compositions and assemblages of work.

Across seven acts (overture –act I to V– and epilogue), the exhibition’s organising principle aims to reveal the traces that, beyond physicality, movement and connectivity provoke. In doing so, it tests the political configurations that exist within such immaterial space.

The image contained in the title is this of an oxygen curve being exhaled from the mouth, taking the shape of a vertical concavity. As it evaporates into the atmosphere, the body’s warmth dissipates into a wider mass of air. We breathe and the self dilutes into the environment cyclically, just as the world enters in us, making space through circulation.

The cyclical patterns of logistic capitalism oscillate between violence and desire, suffocating life and exacerbating extraction, verging towards total mobility. Shaping a space of intersections between sounds, texts, performances and objects, the exhibition’s repertoire looks into that jointure where echoes, presences, vibrations and ties, reveal our structural fragilities and shared fractures.

Pol Wah Tse’s work with digestivo will be on view along previous contributions to Holding Breath by Maya Deren, Gary Indiana and Estanis Comella.

Act II will take place on May 31st featuring works by Joven de la Perla (through Mariano Blatt) + Amaia Urra.
