What’s happening at AVL Mundo

scroll for Dutch

AVL Mundo, Atelier Van Lieshout and Plusplunt bring light to these dark days with an Art Nativity Scene and fundraising in and around the M4H area. A pilgrimage for people between the ages of 8 and 88 who, regardless of their beliefs or disbeliefs, who want to come together in solidarity or because they feel lonely and displaced. Of course, everything with due regard the latest corona measures.

The Art Nativity Scene at the Keileweg is a diorama, a life-size spectacle, with revolving temple dancers, challenging Hanukkah candlesticks, spoiled godsons, rotating fertility priests, and of course babies as radiant centers.

Ongoing daily is the Christmas Audio Tour for the whole family. On December 23, a take-away Christmas dinner will be served for (ex) homeless people and others in vulnerable situations. On the weekends, with a hot chocolate in hand, come listen to the unlicensed Street Musicians that have problems earning money in these difficult times.

Under the adagio “burn a candle for yourself”, together we torch the misery of the past year in the fire pits at the Sculpture Park.

The activities around the Kunst Kerststal also ring the final bells for the last days of the outdoor exhibition Let’s Get Physical in the M4H area. In a solidarity setting, walk this beautiful route with over 30 statues. In the happy expectation that 2021 may be a better year and that we may leave 2020 behind us.

Entrance is free, registration is not necessary.

FAKE ME HARD part 1 is the kick-off of a spectacular exhibition at the interface of art and technology, planned from June 25 to Aug 15, 2021 by the creators of ROBOT LOVE and TEC ART in collaboration with AVL Mundo / Worm.

FMH is urgent and has a big wow factor. How do we survive the “post-truth” society? Are people in control or are algorithms taking over? Artificial Intelligences are already characterized as omniscient. Will they become the new Gods? Do they determine what is fact or fiction while human truths slowly become irrelevant? Technology was once a tool in the service and extension of human beings. But tech has become a supreme system, driven by a handful of big companies. People are played apart “users” in fake news environments, automatically generated from their profile. Each of us is condemned to his / her / their own bubble, a meaningfully disconnected illusory world. To use Matrix terms: we can no longer choose between the red or the blue pill. Only the blue pill is available. 

FAKE ME HARD takes the audience on a trip into a new dimension. Physical and online locations become players in a magical landscape. The loss of meaning may sound alarming, team human does not give in. With the artists on the front line, we investigate our cultural capital. In the FMH kick-off Daito Manabe, Joey Holder, Viviane Komati, Frederik de Wilde, Marnix de Nijs and Joep van Lieshout navigate the complexity of the 21st century.

‘Complexity is not a condition to be tamed, but a lesson to be learned.’ James Bridle
