He studied design in France and after graduating in 2016\, he moved to The Netherlands. Since then\, he has been working at iso amsterdam\, a multidisciplinary warehouse where he shared a workshop with artists and friends. He sees himself as a researcher using his design education to explore his availability in becoming a sculptor. To do so he is experimenting with collage\, excessive ornamentation\, and domestic familiarity of sculpture. He creates mash-ups of low design\, decoration\, collected material and craft interventions in order to build abstract representations of functional design.

The dynamic programme will descend into the late night with an after party in classic iso fashion\, with a special DJ set by artist Kévin Bray. \nProgramme:20.30 Walk-in with studio-visits and guided tours of the current exhibition by Jan Tomza21.30 Performances by Anto López Espinosa and Lucía Vives22.30 Afterparty with a DJ set by Kévin Bray\, DJ T-r-Fon & SnailawayUntil 04.00\, when it’s time to say GOODNIGHT… \nSelf-designed to question the usual format of the art space\, iso Amsterdam is the place to immerse yourself in the prospective international scene based in Amsterdam. Studio visits of Basse Stittgen\, Katja Novitskova\, Aurélien Lepetit\, Natacha Mankowski\, Camille Rousseau (among many others); and an the exhibition The Thirst of Galalith by Jan Tomza-Osiecki \nPoster by Javier Rodriguez \n \n \n \n \n \n More details about the evening...\n The evening will kick off at 20.30 with a range of interactions in our warehouse space\, starting off with studio-visits of a few of our residents. During the studio-visits guests are invited to explore the ateliers of: Basse Stittgen\, Katja Novitskova\, Natacha Mankowski\, Aurélien Lepetit\, Camille Rousseau\, Herbert Luciole (Barnaby Monk & Laetitia Migliore) the intimate workspaces of a multitude of creative professionals operating within an expansive range of disciplines. We will celebrate the Launch of our new Billbard North Face #5 by Alexis Bondoux that emerges for the first time for this unique night. And of course our current exhibition The Thirst of Galalith by Jan Tomza-Osiecki will be on view with the possibility to participate in a guided tour of it offered by the artist himself . \nTwo inspiring performances will follow up at 21:30\, firstly by Anto López Espinosa who is a performance-based artist using sound\, their body and lip syncing as means to connect with their audience. For this occasion\, Anto is presenting a longer version of their performance On your return\, you offered me a hand full of voices\, an ode to the self as multiple\, executed by tracing some of the archetypes in which their biological family has been built upon. Lucía Vives will continue after\, who’s practice sparks from digitally mediated poetics as testimonies of intimacy and vulnerability\, through a methodology of building archives of pop culture and then activating them via non-traditional artistic codes; Club culture\, queerness\, and humor are invoked through a concert\, voice memos\, or messages. For this occasion\, Lucía is presenting: Images that pop when a speaker is muffling everything else (Best Song Ever) that is a performative collection of moments of reorientation. Linguistic tools such as late-night DMs read through crying on the dancefloor turned this collection into a concert\, amplifying fascination for never-ending becomings. \nLastly we invite you to join for a dance as Kévin Bray\, Snailaway and DJ T-r-Fon light up the art space into a corresponding club-space with an afterparty in classic iso fashion. The night programme will run from 22:00 till 04:00\, a perfect late-night delight to embellish a week of flourishing art in the city of Amsterdam. \nPoster designed by Javier Rodriguez URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/iso-friends-winter-market-2-3/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/POSTER-GOODNIGHT.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230527T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230527T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065223 CREATED:20230522T173031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230522T195751Z UID:2865-1685217600-1685221200@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: PLASTIC WATER MUSIC DESCRIPTION:The opening of the exhibition The Thirst of Galalith will be accompanied by the performance Plastic Water Music\, where Teresa Costa (flute)\, Bjork Semey-Delacroix (double-bass)\, Pankaj Tiwari (speaker)\, and Jan Tomza-Osiecki (touch) create a musical suite for an upcoming Post-humanist Spa. The performance initiates a sonic decent into the murky canal waters of Amsterdam where both discordant and harmonious nonhuman entanglements reside. \nSaturday 27th of May\, 20:00\, free access \nSupported by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/iso-friends-winter-market-2-2/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/unnamed-3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230527T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230617T170000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065223 CREATED:20230522T172625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230522T195705Z UID:2859-1685206800-1687021200@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:THE THIRST OF GALALITH by JAN TOMZA-OSIECKI DESCRIPTION:The Thirst of Galalith is our new exhibition opening on the 27th of May by iso resident Jan Tomza-Osiecki who presents a series of sculptures made from derelict milk plastic. Galalith\, as it is named\, is a rare uncompromising material that refuses the human will: It is brittle and hard to work with\, it is non-biodegradable and here to stay. To give this material a new life outside of all its negative connotations\, Tomza-Osiecki molds them into works of art\, or fossils as he labels them.  Fossils\, too\, represent time frozen. They are artefacts through which we understand our history. By linking this this notion of an archival item to plastic\, he situates them into a context where we can read it as a signifier of our history\, present and future. In this way\, his approach seeks to establish a non-moralistic view on a wasteful material and to probe creative solutions to the current human conducted processes of ecocide. If plastics are the fossils of our lives\, can Galalith suggest a different archaeology? The unruliness of this plastic becomes a starting point for embracing its desires evident in its denial of stillness and its unstoppable thirst. The Thirst of Glalalith palpably calls up a story of nonhuman agency – a summoned narrative that replaces an end-of-times lack with curiosity and seduction. \nThe opening of the exhibition will be accompanied by the performance Plastic Water Music\, where Teresa Costa (flute)\, Bjork Semey-Delacroix (double-bass)\, Pankaj Tiwari (speaker)\, and Jan Tomza-Osiecki (touch) create a musical suite for an upcoming Post-humanist Spa. The performance initiates a sonic decent into the murky canal waters of Amsterdam where both discordant and harmonious nonhuman entanglements reside. Performance at 20h00. \nJan Tomza-Osiecki (b.1985) is an Amsterdam-based sculptor\, artistic researcher\, and set designer\, with a  research focused on disobedient artistic materials\, autonomous objects\, trouble with resourcing\, and the prospects of post-humanist art. He is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. His visual works have been exhibited at CASSTL in Antwerp\, Raster Gallery in Warsaw\, SVA in New York\, Platan Gallery in Budapest\, and 1646 in The Hague. In theatrical work\, his scenography and costumes have been staged at Frascati Amsterdam\, Santarcangelo Festival in Italy\, Festival Belluard Bollwerk in Switzerland. His musical compositions were staged at Meervart Theatre in Amsterdam\, as well as in TR Warszawa and Nowy Teatr in Warsaw. \nSupported by Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) \nOpening Saturday May 27th\, 17:00-22:00Performance at 20:00Exhibition on view till June 17th 2023Opening hours: Thursday to Saturday\, 11:00-17:00 URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/iso-friends-winter-market-2/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/36b7c479-2eed-4cde-b2f8-04de018906be.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230513T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230514T050000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065223 CREATED:20200226T230054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230522T131635Z UID:2632-1683990000-1684040400@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:ISO 5 YEARS!

SasaHara (1993) is a French-Algerian artist based in Amsterdam since 2017. They work as a performance director\, a drag transformer and a writer\, playing with drag aesthetics in different formats (editorial\, club\, theatre) to create queerophantasmic narratives. Over the past years SasaHara has developed a long-term research project on the making of queer mythologies\, the vectors of mythological communication and multimedia storytelling. This research has been gathered under the title “SasaHara Past Lives”\, taking their body as a catalyst for untold queer stories and giving them a space to exist in for eternity through mythological storytelling \n\n\n\nLine-up & timetable: \n22:00 – 23:00 HYPOXIA NERVOSA\n23:00 – 00:00 FKINTWIGS\n00:00 – 01:00 DJ Fluffie\n01:00 – 02:00 Varloc & PxSSYPAPI\n02:00 – 03:00 jujulov3\n03:00 – 04:00 Snufkin \n  \n\n\nFind the ticket link for the rave here \n  \n\n\nThe door will be handled by the one and only interdimensional postgender clownery Silly Dick. Please note that this is a queer event. If you are not part of the LGBTQIA+ community\, we expect you to be particularly mindful of the space you are entering and the people around you.

The exhibition will take place in ISO Amsterdam\, as part of the off-program of UNSEEN Amsterdam. \nOver the past years SasaHara has started long-term research on the making of queer mythologies\, the vectors of mythological communication and multimedia storytelling. This research has been gathered under the title “SasaHara Past Lives”\, taking their body as a catalyst for untold queer stories and giving them a space to exist in for eternity through mythological storytelling. For this research they reconnect with the theater background  gathered during their youth\, and activate it through the drag-transformism craft they have developed since then\, in combination with text writing\, performance direction and collaborating with other artists.  \nPASTLIVES is an immersive theater project in the format of an exhibition. The scenography of the theater-work remains after the show to constitute an exhibition that will stay for a few days. This is the second step of the research they are currently conducting around queer mythologies. This research is based on their writing of myths depicting queer narratives through fantasy literature\, then the making of the characters through their drag art\, and eventually collaborations with other artists to document each story through other mediums. In PASTLIVES\, they want to develop a new type of theater experiment\, where all the stories would connect into one immersive theater format. It will be the presentation of a meta-story through a multimedia theater work. During this immersive piece\, the public will sometimes watch videos\, sometimes listen to audio works\, and eventually watch performers act\, with the objective to knit these stories together into a meta-mythology of queerness. \nPASTLIVES is a collaboration between SasaHara and Ramzart\, Patrick Schmatzer\, Rozy Sapelkine\, jujulov3 and Basse Stittgen \nFor more about SasaHara’s work: \nhttps://sasahara.nl/  \nhttps://www.instagram.com/the.sasahara/  \nWith the support of the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/petrolux-3/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:events,exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/SASA_Print-A1.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20220512T213000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20220513T030000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065223 CREATED:20200226T230054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220509T125156Z UID:2610-1652391000-1652410800@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:PETROLUX x KÉVIN BRAY DESCRIPTION:Petrolux\, a performance by Kévin Bray: 21:30 \nAfterparty with Teki Latex\, jujulove\, SasaHara and Mariana Jurado Rico: 22:30 \nDoors open at 20:30 / Free access before 22:00 \nTickets \nAfter 22:00€12 via online€15 at the doorsHalf goes to Uzvar KABK Collective\, a student initiative to support Ukraine \nFor Amsterdam Art Week\, ISO Amsterdam is thrilled to invite Kévin Bray to introduce his most recent project ‘Petrolux’. Developed through out a residency period in AlUla\, Saudi Arabia\, Bray’s latest visual gesture is a performance bridging the past and the present through  the lens of science and fiction. Petrolux is an active collaboration with the artists of ancient petroglyphs carved on the boulders of AlUla thousands of years ago. This time-bending dialogue between them\, aims to highlight how scientific tools and theories which are specifically used to get closer to possible historical truths can also help us to create more believable fictions. The fictions of today – as surreal as they can be – are often built with a certain level of scientific realism for the imaginary world to be comprehensibly rooted. \nWith the support of the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n read more \n For example\, a fictional character will have a logical or recognisable bone structure and muscular system to help us understand the reality of its existence. Starting from this premise\, through a research embedded in the development of the relationship between humans and the natural world\, the artist is borrowing engravings of dogs and cattle appearing on the desert stones in order to reinterpret them with the help of contemporary technologies and scientific knowledge. By doing so\, he is crafting present-time resonances that echo with the depths of our past (fictions). Similarly to the ways which scientists try to breathe life into the ‘rigorous systems’ of our history. This project has been developed within the artist-in-residence programme of the Sigg Art Fondation in AlUla (Saudi Arabia)\, on the invitation of Sacha Guedj Cohen in January-February 2022. \nKévin Bray (b.1989 France) is a visual generalist and artist currently based in Amsterdam. \nHe was an artist-in-residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2018-2019) and holds two Graphic Design Masters degrees\, one from Sandberg Institute (2011-2013) and from ESAAB Nevers (France) (2009/2011). His work has been exhibited internationally in various locations such as Palais de Tokyo\, Paris (FR)\,  FOAM photography museum\, Amsterdam (NL)\, Dordrecht museum (NL)\, Future Gallery in Berlin (DE)… Traversing from cinema\, graphic design\, illustration\, painting and sculpture to music and writing\, within his practice Kévin Bray tries to understand how the form and language of a particular medium is visualised and manipulated\, in order to impose those codes onto another medium. With this methodology\, his interest lies in playing with the porosity created through the confrontation of these tools and the mannerisms they are dealt with\, aiming to open and diversify a language through exploring the edges of its possibilities. With his images Bray blends and conceptualises the parameters of these expressions to assemble symbolic narratives\, commenting on our diverse existences and the appearances they embody. \nSince the very beginnings of ISO\, Kévin has been a ‘pillar’ of our industrial creative warehouse.

Yet\, the very real narrative of animal blood as a by-product and waste remains untold. The slaughterhouse industry is one of the most resource intensive in the world\, yet it remains almost invisible – this disconnection makes it difficult to create a common ground to talk about the ethics of production and consumption. The work of Basse Stittgen aims to mend this broken thread through offering a platform for reflection in regards to the animal-human relationship by physicalizing invisible streams of matter.  All the objects shown in the exhibition are made 100% from discarded animal blood without any additives. \nThe work of Basse Stittgen is positioned at the intersection of design\, art and material research. It stems from a fascination for material\, how it can be created\, applied\, used / re-used and questioned. This approach might lead to investigations into production cycles\, or become a tool to unfold hidden narratives and potentials embedded in matter. Basse graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017 and since then his work has been exhibited at the V&A Museum\, the NGV Melbourne and the 13th Shanghai Biennale of Architecture. It is part of the collection of the MAK Vienna and the Wellcome Collection. \nOn the occasion of the Design-Route Glue Amsterdam \nOpening reception 17th September18:00 – 22:00with a performance byJasmine Karimova at 20:00 \nWe will finish the reception with some music and drinks! \nAdditional program: Basse Stittgen: artist presents + studio visit 18th September 15:00rsvp: info@isoamsterdam.nl \nSupported by Stimuleringsfonds URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/never-fully-seen/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Basse-Stittgen_497x697mm-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210916 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210919 DTSTAMP:20260525T065224 CREATED:20200226T230054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210913T172229Z UID:2454-1631750400-1632009599@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:IsOPEN STUDIOS x GLUE AMSTERDAM DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our community\, we invite you to get acquainted with the space and its residents. iso will open their doors for a special 3-day long isOpen Studios alongside the exhibition by Basse Stittgen\, taking place from the 16th to the 18th of September. \nExplore over thirty individual and shared ateliers; the intimate workspaces of a multitude of creative professionals operating within an expansive range of disciplines: industrial\, product and furniture design\, technology\, architecture\, painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, photography\, performance\, video\, printmaking\, graphic design\, music\, fashion and instrument making. \nWith Maarten Nico\, Lino Thijssen\, Job Althof\, Niek Sanders\, Juan Bravo\, Gwion Lopez\, Johe van Der One\, Isabel Cordeiro\, François Duquesnoy\, Arno Hoogland\, Roel de Boer\, Dorian Jakob Koelmans\, Basse Stittgen\, Fabrizzia de Toni\, Aurélien Lepetit\, Hans Rosenboom\, Laura A.

Each billboard will remain for three months on the northern facade of iso amsterdam. \n\nFor the third edition\, after Kévin Bray and Farida Sedoc\, we are happy to give carte blanche to Robuche with “The Space in Between” \nLou Buche and Javier Rodriguez (1991)\, also known as ROBUCHE\, are both graphic designers and artists. They met in 2017 during their Master studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie of Amsterdam and quickly became ROBUCHE\, a character born from the fusion of these two forces. Collaboration is at the core of their practice\, becoming an entity trying to erase the individuality of the artist. Robuche’s work can be is recognisable by his wit\, playfulness and boyish honesty. Simple ideas are embraced by an energetic visualisation and are executed as large paintings and posters\, typefaces\, video installations or performances. Robuche is a quick thinker and gives form to his ideas in unconventional ways. He wants to create a strong confrontation by manipulating the digital while using the analog\, and vice versa. Joy plays a very big role in his creative process\, and thus is very much connected to empirical\, sensitive experiences\, which are embodied in multiple layers\, creating his own symbology\, endless fictional landscapes and characters. \n\nProject in association with Alexis Bondoux\, Lou Buche\, Jonathan Castro\, Javier Rodriguez and Guillaume Roux.

Here\, the book describes the choreographic moves of a group of acrobats as they disassemble and reassemble their bodies: \n“A clumsy spotlight focused on their minuscule sawdust ring. The flute wailed a phrase. A faint tintinnabulation of their metallic shifts heralded their coming. […] Their figures flowered into one another so choreographically it was impossible to see how they extricated or complicated themselves. […] the leader\, took his head from his neck and they began to juggle with that until\, one by one\, all their heads came off and went into play\, so that a fountain of heads rose and fell in the arena. Yet this was only the beginning. After that\, limb by limb\, they dismembered themselves. Hands\, feet\, forearms\, thighs and ultimately torsos went into a diagrammatic multi-man whose constituents were those of them all. […] And then\, the pièce de résistance\, they began to juggle with their own eyes. The severed heads and arms and feet and navels began to juggle with eighteen fringed\, unblinking eyes. […] Such a harmonious concatenation of segments of man\, studded with incomplete moons and brown pupils! And then this demonstration of juxtaposition and transposition was over. Each torso took from the common heap its due apparatus back again […]” (p.133-134) \nCarter’s acrobats serve as a trope\, a suitable analogy for the way I deal with material: ideas and matter. In the ‘minuscule sawdust ring’\, which is my artistic practice\, I have been mapping folds: I toss\, twist and spin textile around and as it falls\, folded in an entangled bundle\, I paint over it in colourful patchwork patterns. Afterwards\, when dry\, I unfold and stretch the textile. The resulting folds and creases in the textile\, the broken patches of colour contrasting with areas where the paint did not reach\, all speak of a contingent moment. This moment is chance suspended; one outcome out of many\, one fall of the textile and not another. As I engage in this ‘method’ I have devised\, I\, alike Carter’s acrobats\, find myself squatting\, hopping\, twisting in a dance of complicity with my materials (textile\, paint\, clay\, metal\, moving image among others). I shape the matter I work with and the matter shapes me (we’re all matter anyway!)\, and in the process we leave traces on one another. These traces are indexes. In semiotic terms\, a brushstroke is an index and so is the muscle I may have gained while executing that same brushstroke. These indexes are of a deictic nature as they attest precisely to that contingent moment – deictic indexes embedded in matter. \nWhen speaking of acrobatics\, it is of course important not to forget gravity. That invisible pull from which we cannot escape. In a sense\, deictic indexes are expressions of gravity. To soften this movement\, I sometimes ask others to unfold my pieces\, as a way of mirroring the labor I have put into the folding. Or\, I ask others to interpret the unfolded pieces\, tracing back the original movements and folds. Thus\, those indexes are lifted off the ground again. What is being perpetuated is their movement in a state of grace\, to borrow from Simone Weil who equates grace with the descending movement “in which gravity plays no part” (1947\, p.4). And\, at the same time\, perpetuating the enactment of the semiotic potential in material\, travelling from one body to another through the piece\, back and forth\, all the while producing meaning. This is what artists as acrobats do\, and we do it gracefully. \n \n \n \n \n \n About Isabel Cordeiro \n Isabel Cordeiro (1973\, Lisbon) is an Amsterdam-based artist\, curator\, and teacher at several Dutch art academies.

The disks made during the performance are exhibited from April 21st to May 1st\, unrolling the score of the evening on the large walls of iso amsterdam.  \nPaper – Music\, A Rave In Pictures is a performance by Jackson based on the sonic translation of painted shapes on rotating paper discs. The execution of this performance produces both pictures and minimal music for a live audience. Colored inks generate sound frequencies according to hue\, saturation and shapes properties\, while black and white are dedicated to rhythmic patterns. The rotation speed of each disc determines how they interact with one another. Painting music\, and its deployment over time\, aspires to an equilibrium between image and sound through a reformulation of club culture’s traditional staging. In this context\, the DJ becomes the painter of images that witness a passage from the tangible to the intangible. The balance between a hand gesture and its live reinterpretation by an artificial vision and sound synthesis algorithm plays with our recognition process of physical reality. Writing the intangible meets a proposal to shift our festive gathering standards and its narrative process. \nThe performance took place at iso on April 16th\, from 18:00 to 21:00 \nThe video of the livestream can be found here \n \n \n \n \n \n About Jackson\n Jackson (1979) is a Franco-American artist and electronic music composer. He released two albums with Warp records in 2005 (SMASH) and 2014 (GLOW) under the name Jackson And His Computerband. In 2008 he signed the original score for Jean- Stéphan Sauvaire’s first feature film about child soldiers in Liberia. The creation of sculptural instruments designed for a performance presented at IRCAM in Paris 2015 marked a turning point in his artistic endeavor. This performative installation bringing together music and visual arts led to a series of representations for French gallery Kamel Mennour. During a one year fellowship at the French Academy in Rome\, the Medici Villa\, in 2015/2016\, Jackson worked on an algorithm dedicated to the translation of the visible spectrum into sound. An installation entitled « Acoustic Mist » was presented that same year as part of a group show for the Memo Foundation. Built around a diffracted ray of light interacting with a cloud of steam\, this piece produced the sound of the spectrum of light through vibrating sheets of metallic mirrors. This work along with subsequent installations and performances explored what lies behind the limits of our human perception of fundamental forces. Jackson is now working on a performative device that enables him to paint graphic scores on paper that produce sound as they are executed in real time. From his early hybrid musical collages to his recent research\, Jackson aims to invent new forms and new languages ranging from popular music to experimental art.\n \n \n \n \n \n   \nWith the support of Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) \n  \nProduction: Florence Parot\, iso amsterdam\nInteractive design and software development: Pia Balthazar\nTable design: Christiaan Bakker \nSupport: François Duquesnoy\, Yme van der Staaij\, Lino Thijssen\n \nThanks: Luka Arbay\, Dajo Bodisco\, Juan Bravo\, Lou Buche\, Karolien Buurman\, Noah Cohen\, Monika Grūzīte\, Arno Hoogland\, Alice Lemoigne\, Gijs Mos\, Maarten Nico\, Octave Rimbert-Rivière\, Jade Soares URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/jackson-x-paper-music-x-performance-x-exhibition/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:events,exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/iso-jackson-posterHD-2.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210401 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210705 DTSTAMP:20260525T065224 CREATED:20200226T230054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210630T135717Z UID:2278-1617235200-1625443199@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:FARIDA SEDOC x NORTH FACE #2 DESCRIPTION:iso amsterdam is proposing a new outdoor platform for artists in times of pandemic.

Each artwork will remain for three months on the northern facade of iso amsterdam.  \nSince the very beginning of iso\, Kévin Bray has been a “number one pillar” of our industrial creative warehouse. He was the first studio renter; the first artist exhibited in 2017 and he co-created our visual identity\, realising our DNA film which is still visible on the iso website. So\, it’s natural that today we invite him to launch the North Face Series with the artwork “It Goes For It To Protect Others” – the first in a long series! \nThe work of Kévin Bray oscillates between several media – namely video\, graphic design and sound design – through which he questions the existence the image and its modes of production. To what extent is a still image time-related? How do media and format interact and influence each other? Kévin tries to understand how form and language of a particular medium are visualised and manipulated\, in order to apply those rules or codes to another medium. His interest lies in playing with the possible porosity created by confrontation and\, through this methodology\, aims to open and diversify language\, exploring the limits of its possibilities. \nCome and take a look to the North Face! \nKévin Bray: “It Goes For It To Protect Others” \nProject in association with Alexis Bondoux\, Lou Buche\, Jonathan Castro\, Javier Rodriguez and Guillaume Roux.

As an expression of love it is fundamental – children need it to grow up healthy. That adults need touch too\, is very much emphasized by today’s situation of lockdown. We are all getting acquainted with the phrase ‘skin hunger’ – as a way of expressing a feeling of loss\, now that we can’t always use our bodies to show love. A kiss\, a handshake\, a high five: human communication isn’t only about language\, it involves bodily interaction.At the same time there always was\, and will be\, danger. Touching with the wrong intentions can lead to traumatizing experiences\, and touch might lead to contamination. Much is uncertain about the future\, but it is clear that the 1.5-meter society will give new meanings to our perception of touch. That change is just one aspect of a development that was set in motion at a much earlier time: in the digital age\, we are used to touching our screens more often than those we love. \n \n \n \n \n \n Read more...\n Is it possible to replace bodily touch with an inanimate material? What does a person’s touch say about his or her personality? Questions like these is what The Finger Rub Rug\, a multimedia art installation by artist Laura A Dima (1991)\, is all about. \nThe Finger Rub Rug consists of a carpet of 1\,300 lifelike silicone replicas of the fingers of the artist’s partner\, placed in a dedicated room. You may touch the fingers. They feel warm\, thanks to a heating blanket under the installation. As you move around\, you might notice that the soft enchanting music sounds different in every corner: scary\, funny\, exciting. It makes you think about your own judgments. The Finger Rub Rug is a serene temple in which we can rethink our physical relationship to each other. \n‘I love my partner’s fingers\, but he has only ten. Are more fingers more fun? What would it be like to be able to lie on a bed of fingers?’ From those questions\, Dima started her research. In her youth\, during the 1990’s in Romania\, physical interaction was not a cultural norm. Later she found her place in the punk and fetish scene in the Netherlands. ‘I became fascinated by how people experience (sexual) freedom with the use of physical materials. Why do people feel liberated by wearing plastic and latex? Why these materials? What exactly does it replace?’ \nVisitors of The Finger Rub Rug first undergo a cleaning ritual\, and are then allowed to enter the room one by one. Individual interaction is essential for this work. Dima: ‘I am inspired by artists like Tino Sehgal and Marina Abramović when they say that a large part of the artwork takes place in the spectator’s experience.’ \nCreepy\, funny or erotic? \nDuring the development of The Finger Rub Rug\, Dima discovered that people who were confronted with the fingers for the first time go through the same four phases: first they think it is creepy\, then a little bit funny\, after that they will see it as a more neutral object\, and finally it becomes tempting to play with the fingers. The fingers become something exciting\, or even erotic. Do you want to lie down on it? Closely examine one finger? Walk over it? Anything is allowed. \nThese different possibilities of responding to the silicone fingers are highlighted by the spatial soundtrack\, created by Dima’s partner\, fellow artist and musician Martin Draax. The musical piece consists of a central theme\, which gets different accents from separate speakers in the four corners of the room: humorous\, creepy\, sultry or more natural. \nThe difference between people’s reactions to the silicone replicas of fingers was also evident during the workshops that Dima gave in preparation for The Finger Rub Rug. She worked with all kinds of couples: lovers\, colleagues\, best friends\, classmates and taught them the craft of mould making. This time-consuming process lead to a new kind of interaction. Peoples own (silicon) fingers became a conversation piece. \n‘Conversations between people who were not always so familiar with one another\, suddenly became a lot more personal’\, says Dima. A group of Moroccan-Dutch women was initially sceptical about the project. Later they enthusiastically took part in the workshop\, but not all of them wanted to touch The Finger Rub Rug. ‘These are your boyfriend’s fingers\, they are yours\, I don’t want to interfere.’ \nThis rejection is just one example of the fascinating power of The Finger Rub Rug: in not wanting to touch the lady takes the artwork seriously. Even for someone who was at first sceptical\, there appears to be something of personality – of humanity – in the silicone fingers. 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. \nThomas van Huut \n‘The Finger Rub Rug’ was made by Laura A Dima in ISO\, a collaborative working arena on Isolatorweg 17 in Amsterdam. For the construction of the dedicated space ‘The Finger Rub Rug’ is in\, Dima collaborates with other creatives working in broedplaats ISO. The exhibition\, initially planned in April\, is rescheduled to July 3 until September 19\, 2020.  \nCheck out the event \nUp to 100 persons admitted to the spacious warehouse. \nSign up here for the opening \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n With the support of the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst (AFK) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click one of the buttons below to download the press kit photography. \n \n Download Low Res Press Package (4 MB)\n \n Download High Res Press Package (1 GB)\n \n Download / Read "Een Nieuwe Blik op de Magische Kracht van Lichamelijk Contact" by Thomas van Huut URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/the-finger-rub-rug-laura-a-dima/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/image.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200601 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200902 DTSTAMP:20260525T065224 CREATED:20200528T144911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201104T163716Z UID:1382-1590969600-1599004799@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:UNLOCKED/RECONNECTED - GUIDO VAN AMELSFOORT DESCRIPTION:Unleash the Beast \n \n \n \n \n \n At the entrance of iso amsterdam\, Unleash The Beast by artist Guido van Amelsfoort (NL\, 1986) is on show at the invitation of Unlocked/Reconnected. \nThe exhibition Unlocked/Reconnected 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/Reconencted 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/Reconected underlines the importance of art and culture in this period of global crisis. \nUnleash the Beast (2019) teases and invites us to break the chains of our tight world.

For this exhibition\, she presents a collection of oil on canvas and sketches on paper\, appearing as a collision of landscapes. It is a profusion of masses in movement\, added lines\, grids\, cut-outs merging images of mountains\, marble quarries\, lava\, volcanoes into cityscapes\, emerging a very unique environment\, mix of all encountered sceneries. \nTerranova is a pictorial research that have been given birth to the site-specific work The Squareon the occasion of the art route Play Station Sloterdijk (June 28-Nov 3\, 2019) where the artist combines architecture\, textures\, colors and shapes to create a cityscape made of intricate perspectives and “trompe-l’oeils”. How do you create an imaginary city out of a flat surface? How do you project life into a leftover space? \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Read more...\n In a multifaceted series of works\, canvas\, textures\, and metallic structures are colliding into a playful environment\, telling a story in public space. \nNatacha Mankowski was born in 1986 in Paris. In 2011 she received her MA in Architecture from the École Spéciale d’Architecture (Paris). The artist aims to blur the traditional categories of representation of space. Her work evolves around an ongoing investigation in the immersive qualities of architecture and its practice as an all-inclusive experience. By radically liberating her praxis from its conventional tools\, she creates spaces to return to the very essence of her view as an architect. As a start\, Natacha Mankowski uses the perspective as a central device to catch her imagery and invites her audience to share this experience. \nOpening: June 28th\, 19:00 \nAttend this Event \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 00030\n \n \n \n \n 00031\n \n \n \n \n 00032\n \n \n \n \n 00033\n \n \n \n \n 00034\n \n \n \n \n 00035\n \n \n \n \n 00036\n \n \n \n \n 00037 URL:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/program-item/terranova/ LOCATION:iso\, isolatorweg 17\, Amsterdam\, Netherlands CATEGORIES:exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.isoamsterdam.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/poster-final.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20190608T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20190608T190000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065224 CREATED:20190603T082046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201106T134520Z UID:1024-1560020400-1560020400@www.isoamsterdam.nl SUMMARY:SNDO - Graduation Performances DESCRIPTION:Ahmed El Gendy\, Emile Lagarde\, Stina Fors \n \n \n \n \n \n The graduating year of SNDO presents their final works in June 2019 across two venues – ISO Amsterdam and Frascati Theater.The 4th year students of the SNDO – School for New Dance Development graduate by creating two works next to writing a thesis and completing their internship. Public programs take place in venues outside the school providing the students with professional working conditions and the artistic context. \nParallel to the student’s individual creation processes runs a collaboration with the Graphic Design department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. This initiative originated in 2017 and it is with great pleasure that the alliance continues since then. Students of both educations receive an applied design assignment to work together in developing visibility material for the graduation show. \n \n \n \n \n \n Read more...\n This year’s SNDO graduates are Elisabeth Raymond\, Ahmed El Gendy\, Emile Lagarde\, Netti Nüganen\, Alexey Shkolnik\, Diego Oliveira\, Mami Kang\, Raoni Saleh and Stina Fors. \nThe program is made possible in collaboration with our venue partner ISO Amsterdam\, which is hosting this year’s performances alongside Frascati Amsterdam. \nISO artistic director: Florence Parot\, director: Dajo Bodisco\, floor manager: Juan Bravo \nSNDO artistic director: Bojana Mladenović; Mentor SNDO 4: Bruno Listopad and Ana Vujanović; Production Manager: Charlot van der Meer; Light designer and head of technique: Martin Kaffarnik; Technical assistance: Rik van der Veen; SNDO production and PR coordinator: Stephanie Lühn; Graphic design: Belén Peca from the Graphic Design department Gerrit Rietveld Academie \nThe SNDO—School for New Dance Development —offers a full time four-year professional education course leading to a Bachelor’s degree in Art – Choreography. The school was founded in 1975 as an attempt to find new directions for dance next to the existing forms and styles that dominated the field. After forty years\, the SNDO remains inquisitive\, open minded\, and in the foreground of progressive developments in the fields of dance and performance. In the curriculum\, the school establishes the conditions from which the creativity of the student can emerge. Reflection on the specific qualities of dance and performance as art forms is developed\, and awareness of the body and the artistic\, social and political implications of working with it take precedence. \nwww.sndo.nl \nhttps://www.facebook.com/SNDO.amsterdam/ \nPROGRAM OVERVIEW \nPROGRAM ONE FRASCATI \nJune 6+7\, 19:00\, with works by Alexey Shkolnik\, Diego Oliveira\, Raoni Saleh \nPROGRAM TWO FRASCATI \nJune 13+14\, 19:00\, with works by Elisabeth Raymond\, Netti Nüganen\, Mami Kang \nTickets: www.frascatitheater.nl \nISO PROGRAM \nJune 8\, 19:00\, with works by Ahmed El Gendy\, Emile Lagarde\, Stina Fors \nJune 15\, 19:00\, with works by Ahmed El Gendy\, Emile Lagarde\, Stina Fors + Afterparty \nTickets: www.frascatitheater.nl or directly at the door on the day of the ISO event.

A workspace this time. Put together for the freaks to enjoy extraordinary music \nDJsGilb’R & SatoshiOrder MothershipKléo & MargieRoel de Boer \nStart: 10 pm10 at the door\, no pre-sale \nKrackfree SoundsystemThe soundsystem is custom built\, by Gijs Tadda from the city of Eindhoven. The two wood cased stacks (2\,6m w x 2\,5m h x 0\,8m d per stack) have an exceptionally high frequency range with heavy bass and high definition in mid and high segments. Gijs controls the sound throughout the night with a digital 12 channel mixing desk. \nArtworkClélia Zida is a French born artist based in Amsterdam since 2001. She graduated Cum Laude from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2005. In her paintings Clélia Zida revisits the wide and diverse language of abstraction\, using the motto “form is content”. This doens’t quite apply to the party artwork here\, where she intuitively found her visual translation to the monster and the waves with a nocturnal smile. \nKléo the DJ paints musical landscapes from a broad palette of warm grooves and infectious rhythms. \nMargieYears after organizing night as part of the Broke crew in the city of Eindhoven\, Margie returns in Amsterdam as the instigator of Loch Ness\, gathering a team of extraordinarily talented friends to work together on a monstrous night out driven by indulging sound\, set up in unusual spaces. Storytelling is Margie’s forte. Spinning tall musical tales on high key at her shows on Red Light Radio\, her wisdom and musical flair speak volumes – unapologetic\, raw\, surprising. \nRoel de BoerRoel was there to start up Rush Hour on day 1. The Amsterdammer has an extraordinary taste and knowledge in music. His way of mixing.. He has a very original take on combining and contextualizing music. An absolute living ledge and an absolute favorite DJs among meticulous music heads here in Amsterdam. \nGilb’RThe history of modern French electronic and dance music would look very different without this man and his label. From his days as a musical programmer and DJ for the legendary Parisian station Radio Nova to his productions\, remixes and partnership with I:Cube as Chateau Flight and maybe most important with Versatile Records. To quote the man himself: “We just never stopped being music nerds.” And we should be glad for that. \nSatoshiThe Japanese Satoshi Yamamura runs a homonymous blog as one half of the DJ duo Okonkole Y Trompa. Thanks for his exquisite ears he managed to become a influential tastemaker in all sorts of music. Growing from a humble Youtube channel where the boys could upload discoveries otherwise unavailable online\, they now curate a website receiving rapid recognition\, along with monthly shows on London’s NTS. \nOrder MothershipOrder Mothership is the vehicle of a Amsterdam based collective of artists who travel through different galaxies\, collecting dusty- black- electronic- rhythms to dance to. Probably inspired by Detroit’s mothership\, they say: “The abduction is near\, this might be your last day on earth.” They’re tattoo profs\, fashion designers and music heads. But moreover a very entertaining party crew.
