19:30 Rodrigo Sobarzo – []remoTe sense[]

 In []remoTe sense[] a human figure moves a landscape of salt and light. As a sculptor he shapes the piece of land the way he envisions. Not technically but manually. His work is laborious in the literal sense of a ‘hands on’ action; a mining in salt. Simple and bodily.

20:15 Interval | 10 minutes, 10 unrelated questions at Veem Kantine

21:00 Julian Hetzel – I’m Not Here Says The Void

A visual performance of the physical form of anxiety, in which Julian Hetzel combines elements from the theatre, dance, visual arts and minimal electronic music.

18:00 Bar Open at Veem Kantine 

19:00 Ola Maciejewska – TEKTON (only in Amsterdam)

TEKTON refers to the myth of Sisyphus and combines storytelling, autobiografical elements, urban folklore and 100 images of stones. Allowing a place for detour and change of thought.
