“And I am thinking again about water, which I never genuinely cared about, and I still like the way it moves and all the colors it holds at once.” Eileen Myles’
Fall going is an exhibition by Emiel Zeno and Dan Walwin, taking place over various locations on the dockside. This includes an interior room, the asphalt walkway, the surface of the water, and under the dock itself. Parts of the exhibition are accessible by entering the water by a ladder, and facilities for changing and showering are available. Please bring swimming costumes and towels, and COME ON IN THE WATERS LOVELY
The exhibition takes its starting point from geographer Doreen Massey’s theory of ‘technical water’, in which water has the tendency to be strictly deemed as a conduit for commerce, and conceptualised imaginatively only as such, rather than a material with its own innate properties.
Fall going is the first of a series of collaborative projects organized by Emiel Zeno as part of his working period at our projectspace on Veemkade, which will result in a solo presentation late August. Until then:
Bread Buffet (Shreya de Souza and Sophie Soobramanien) is an ongoing, experimental methodology which takes various models according to a theme. Through workshops, zines, reading groups and conversations, we collage and interweave theory, art, fiction, contemporary events and visual material. We use forms that resist academic and thought production. Friendship and curiosity become methods for passing into other worlds.
For the next edition of Bread Buffet invites you to a collective session delving into the term Scyborg. A queer turn of word —composed of s (for systems + cyborg offered by La Paperson an associate professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego. Presented to us to name the structural agency of persons who have picked up colonial technologies and reassembled them to decolonizing purposes. Emiel Zeno will produce a display installation in support of the workshop.
Emiel Zeno & Nolwenn Vuillier -
Wednesday yesterday, she interrupted
opening Friday 31 July, 16:00 - 19:00 hrs
open 1 and 2 August, 12:00 - 18:00 hrs
“There was something of value in the ping-pong. One, two, three, out!”
Nolwenn Vuillier is an artist whose work evolves around questioning the nature-culture dichotomy and the standardized that come out of it. With poetic attention and parodic seriousness, she explores alternative relations with our surroundings and infiltrates structures that design our conventional interactions with the world.
Having previously worked together on non-physical projects such as a radio show and audio pieces, Nolwenn Vuillier and Emiel Zeno will be now working with liquids, water filters, expiring dates, captcha mirrors, disco watches, charcoal and network cables.
“this felt like it was Wednesday yesterday, she interrupted herself: but ehhh,,,’not completely!"
