Groepstentoonstelling
Rodrigo Red Sandoval (MX/NL), Kate Fahey (GB) en Jack West (GB)
Grootheden als de zon, de maan, aardlagen en vulkanen geven ons leven op verschillende manieren vorm. We vinden ze terug in planten en verbrandingsmotoren, in ons eten, in de ritmes van eb en vloed, onze hartslagen, bakstenen en gebouwen.
We leven onze levens te midden van kosmische grootheden en een dagelijkse hoeveelheid scroll-bewegingen. Met hun sculpturen en installaties bevragen Rodrigo Red Sandoval, Kate Fahey en Jack West hoe we ons verhouden tot die verschillende dimensies.
Aan de tentoonstelling is een publieksprogramma gekoppeld met artist talks, performances van Marijn Ottenhof (NL), David Excoffier (GB/ CH), Ivan Cheng (NL/ AUS) & Kristoffer Zeiner (NL/NO) en Tom Kemp (NL/GB). Ook is er een filmprogramma, HOT! Like the Corona of the Sun, samengesteld door Ángels Miralda Tena (NL/CAT).

GUT FEELING
Group exhibition
Rodrigo Red Sandoval (MX/NL), Kate Fahey (IR/GB) and Jack West (GB)
Cosmic forces like the sun, the moon, volcanoes and geological layers organise life in many ways. They are materialised in plants, food and the rhythms of bodies, bricks and buildings. In the drum of the production line and our heartbeat, in the veins lining the underworld of our cities and our anxieties. They resonate through the rise and fall of the tides, our alcohol soaked conversations, our mediatic and our nervous systems. We live our lives between cosmic actors and comment threads. How do we relate to this erratic flow?
Gut Feeling wants to listen.
In association with the exhibition, there is a public program with artist talks, performances by Marijn Ottenhof (NL), David Excoffier (GB/CH), Ivan Cheng (NL/ AUS) & Kristoffer Zeiner (NL/NO) and Tom Kemp (NL/GB).
A screening program, HOT! Like the Corona of the Sun, curated by Angels Miralda Tena (NL/CAT) and a text by Zoénie Liwen Deng (NL/CN).

About the performances
Dystopian Drive (2021)
Marijn Ottenhof (NL)
Live set with spoken word
Friday 06/08, 6.30 pm
A sonic landscape that brings together the exorcizing potential of dark techno with an acknowledgement of the deep grief we are facing in the ‘age of disaster’. Sci-fi soundtracks are referenced by emotional synths while slow, broken beats bring to mind haunted dance floors. A danse macabre in which annihilation becomes the condition of any move forward.
Non-binary as a spaceship (2021)
David Excoffier (GB/CH)
Durational performance
Every saturday at 4 pm
Using a sensor, Excoffier’s heartbeat is translated into a video game engine and varies the speed of the animation. They may or may not be present within the gallery space.
The animation revolves around a spaceship orbiting a star. Inside the ship are the voices of queers and non-binary individuals, they have interviewed, asking how they would conjure their own identity in a tangible form, how they would see their body if technology were limitless, and to recall a strong bright memory. The voices form the crew and the organism of the ship itself, an interconnected generative system.
GEMINI REDUX (Beeny’s Prayer)
Ivan Cheng (NL/AUS) with Kristoffer Zeiner (NL/NO)
Saturday 21/08, 4pm
Possession dissolves in the chiaroscuro stratosphere. For GEMINI REDUX (Beeny’s Prayer), two large objects made by Zeiner of coloured fibreglass, carbon and kevlar fibre, epoxy resin, will reprise the role of ‘Beeny’ that Cheng cast them in for GEMINI EXIT (Beeny’s Retirement) (2019). Originally focused on agency without authorship, that situation for camera was developed in the Oude Kerk in the context of the Come Closer programme (cur. Radna Rumping), in relation to the commissioned mellotron by Janet Cardiff/George Bures Miller. GEMINI REDUX reunites Cheng and Zeiner outside of consecrated space, again staged in a pose of subjective distance.
After the Maestro
Tom Kemp (NL/GB)
Durational performance
Saturday 28/08, 3.30 pm
After the Maestro is a tabletop roleplaying game set within an ‘anthropomorphised anatomy’ – a depiction of the inner human body as a vast industrialised city, sustained by microscopic workers analogous to cells and microbes. Players take on the role of groups of labourers during the aftermath of a successful emancipation within the inner body, where the ‘Maestro’, or organising, vital force of the body, has been deposed.
Through collaborative storytelling and ludic mechanics, each session of the game generates a new narrative of anatomical and social re-organisation, complicating and estranging common body-politic metaphors into an unpredictable tale of emancipatory body-horror.
