ART & EXHIBITIONS

Sonic Acts Biennal 2022: One Sun After Another

This Friday will see the launch of Sonic Acts Biennial 2022 with the One Sun After Another exhibition. It explores the implications of the climate crisis as illustrated by Sonic Acts’ long-term research. Prepare for an informative and engaging programme focused on ecology with interventions by researchers, artists and performers. Expanding from Sonic Acts’ long-term research focus on the implications of the climate crisis, one sun after another traces the inextricable nature of pollution and time. During the opening you can participate in an interactive open lab by artist Cesar Majorana, tasting sessions by designer Leanne Wijnsma and a collaborative performance by Loma Doom and G, directly responding to, and interweaving, the myriad of sonic elements present in the exhibition space.

The exhibit utilizes different media such as art, architecture, light and a unique soundtrack. Anne Imhof – Youth | 1 October 2022 – 29 January 2023 | Stedelijk Museum Opening of AI exhibition The role of AI in art has been somewhat of a hot topic as artists debate originality and try to answer the question of what makes art. This NDSM-Fuse exhibition features works by artists responding to AI, from artists who use AI to create new works to those who oppose it or those who connect with it or use a scientific approach. Opening of AI exhibition | 1 October 2022 – 26 March 2023 | NDSM-Fuse Also check out our seasonal exhibition guide for your next arty fix. FESTIVALS & EVENTS
