Preparations for Yuri Landman’s (@yurilandman) performance are underway🎵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tonight we look forward to welcoming you into our spacious warehouse for the finissage of 'The Finger Rub Rug,' an exhibition by @lauraadima. At 21:00, Yuri will present an experimental soundscape that resonates with the sensual theme of the artwork. With over twenty years of experience as a musician and instrument inventor as well as collaborations with such bands as Sonic Youth, Half Japanese, Liars and many more, Yuri’s solo performance combines spectacular visual elements and unique instrumentations. Expect an unconventional show centred around sounds made with a telephone, a hard disc, a heat sink, a noisy baby, soda pop bottles, a metronome, motors, steel percussion, kalimbas and string instruments. A mixture of noise rock, rhythmic inflections and rough electronics.

Sign up for the opening on July 3 (link in bio) 〰️ For the past few months iso (@isoamsterdam) has been accompanying the artist Laura A Dima (@lauraadima) on the creative process of an ambitious artwork. 'The Finger Rub Rug' is crafted of 1 300 exact, silicon replicas of her partner’s fingers. This rug will be displayed in an isolated room where visitors will be invited to interact one-by-one, behind closed doors. Attentive to the context in which we find ourselves and in order to keep the rules please sign up to (for the opening on July 3rd) linked in bio. 'The Finger Rub Rug' is about touch, tactility, reactivity and sensibility. Subjects that are now, in light of our current restrictions on physical contact, more delicate and relevant than ever 🙌🏻

Unleash the Beast by Guido van Amelsfoort (@g_loc

Unleash the Beast by Guido van Amelsfoort (@g_loc ) is on show at the entrance of @isoamsterdam on the invitation of #unlockedreconnected .
.
.
@unlockedreconnected is an initiative that brings together almost 200 ‘houses for art’ throughout the Netherlands: museums, institutes for presentation, galleries, artists’ initiatives and corporate collections. The point of departure for Unlocked/Reconnected is the idea of solidarity, the will to reflect collectively on what home is. As an initiative Unlocked/Reconnected stems from a sense that opening up the home, in the aftermath of the lockdown, will force us to reconsider our outlook on this. Unlocked/Reconnected underlines the importance of art and culture in this period of global crisis.
Unleash the Beast (2019) teases and invites us to break the chains of our tight world. This piece has the rawness and playfulness of street culture where the artist, Guido van Amelsfoort comes from. It is a pinch of audacity and poetry, translated through fine crafts. The fence is made of ceramic with fine glazing; the Dracula’s figure is constructed out of a metal plate with a self-produced, powder-coating colouring. Humorous and provoking, we are invited to consider fear in a more light-hearted way, disturbing the regimented tone that has characterized recent times

We are delighted to announce the opening of the exhibition of @lauraadima on July 3 (until September 19, 2020)
“The Finger Rub Rug” is a serene temple in which we can rethink our physical relationship to each other ... Something of the magical, personal power of touch has been transferred into the lifeless material. And it is for all of us who enter the ”Finger Rub Rug” to find out individually what touching means to us.”
Just a pinch from the beautiful text written by @thomasvanhuut - Link in bio.

Last Sunday 23rd of February @isoamsterdam THE LON

Last Sunday 23rd of February @isoamsterdam THE LONG NOW by @sulsolsal - Premiere screening of the synchronized multi-channel ensemble, The Long Now, appropriates narrative structures of opera. Each performance of this audio-visual installation is uniquely generated by algorithms & code from a database of original sounds, melodies, instruments, vocals and visual materials to create an infinite lyrical montage of meaning, relations & interpretation. The libretto features a pastiche of critical voices from Mark Fisher & Marissa Brostoff to Bifo Berardi & Helga Nowotny discussing the politics of time & the slow cancellation of the future.
Written & designed by @sulsolsal @isoamsterdam with music & voice by @o_future_ from Los Angeles.
Research and writing was made possible by the Creative Industries Fund NL.
Support for musical composition by the Danish Arts Foundation.
