@ Club Raum, Amsterdam
From 22:00 till 07:00
Before/After is an unconventional concept poised to impact the nightlife experience. The core intention is to cultivate and inspire young audiences, urging them to view electronic music events as not just entertainment, but as profound, respectful, and cathartic journeys. By integrating dance performances, meditation, experimental sonic speech, scent design, projections and DJ sets into the event’s progression, the experiment aims to make the audience aware of the significance of their individual commitment to the dance floor in relation to the collective.

@ CODA, Apeldoorn
In a society where the cracks are becoming increasingly visible and solid ground can no longer be taken for granted, the human perspective on fragility and vulnerability can begin to emerge in all manner of expressions. The exhibition Breekbaar (Fragile) echoes this sense of precarity, centering art made with breakable materials.

|  | | WORK IN PROGRESS | By Casper Braat
@ Torch Gallery, Amsterdam
Work in Progress is an installation; a replication of artist Casper Braat’s marble carving atelier, showcasing sculptures that are in the making process. This imagined space deliberately blurs the distinctions between finished marble artworks and tools and other items found in a working studio space. All of this is collected in a white, dusty environment, a decision that fosters ambiguity between what is fine art and what is not.
