In the Making #5: Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian, Experiencing Text and Textile. In
this session researchers Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian ask the following
questions: How does light feel on the body? What sort of togetherness is there
in reading text?
They will explore tangible and intangible experiences of voice and textile
light. In their practice, both artists are interested in ways of communicating
aesthetic experience. Procedures of documentation and transmission bring up
questions concerning audience, spectatorship and participation in the art field
and artistic research. We aim to open up for participative thinking and valuing
aesthetic and experiential knowledge of ourselves and others.
Artist and designer Barbro Scholz deals with experiential qualities of tangible
(textiles) and intangible (light) materials, and how their interplay invites for
novel forms of performativity.
Performer and artist Li Lorian is interested in practices of reading text, to
oneself and outloud, voicing and finding new means of commonality. Both of them
have an interest in movement, affect, and entanglement to be investigated in a
playful, participatory, collaborative research. This session is a great
opportunity for them to find ways to share their yet unformulated thoughts in an
experiential method with an audience.

IN THE MAKING
The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art
Institute West Den Haag are pleased to announce their close collaboration in the
new public series ‘In the Making’. In six public sessions they will present to
the public different practices of research in the arts.
Artistic production has always expressed the forms in which we know, explore,
and sense the world we live in. The current practice of research in the arts
consciously assumes this exploration. In the past decades the focus on research
in the domain of the arts has grown – as well as its role in universities and
other research contexts – expressing its engagement with the realities of the
world at large.
‘In The Making’ will address how artists conduct their research. Guest artist
researchers and artist researchers from Leiden University will present their
projects, approaches to research, methods and results. Each session will address
questions inherent to these projects. ‘In The Making’ aims to deepen a
perspective which conceives of artistic practice not as the sole product of
individual visionaries but as a collective endeavor embedded in society. It
addresses the role of art in the construction of the present and the creation of
possible futures.
Death by Landscape | Positions: Elsewheres
17april 2023
Hogewal 3a, 2514 HA The Hague, Netherlands
Description
Who owns the future landscape? What does the future landscape currently look like, and how can it be envisioned differently?
New York author Elvia Wilk will present her book Death by Landscape. This event is organized in collaboration with Alice Bucknell and the Berlage Institute for Architecture and Urban Design at TU Delft.
Elvia Wilk latest book, Death by Landscape, is a constellation of essays that considers the kinds of narratives that will help us rethink our human perspective toward Earth. The book begins as an exploration of the role of fiction today and becomes a deep interrogation of the writing process and the self. She examines creative works across time and genre in order to break down binaries between dystopia and utopia, real and imagined, self and world.
Elvia Wilk is a writer living in New York. Her debut novel, Oval, was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel prize and was described in the New Yorker as a "finely observed dystopian mirror" about the future of Berlin. She contributes to publications like The New York Review of Books, The Nation, The Atlantic, Granta, n+1, Bookforum, Artforum, and Frieze, and is a contributing editor at e-flux journal.
This event is part of the exhibition Positions: Elsewheres (on view until 2 July), which presents the work of The Hague-based artists engaging with fragmented sites, landscapes, and plots outside of the exhibition space.
This event is open to all and free of charge.
Elvia Wilk will be joining us from New York via Zoom. The Q&A will be moderated by Alice Bucknell

Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum maakt tekeningen, schilderijen, installaties en
animaties. Haar werk refereert aan mythologie, geologie en theorieën over de
aard van het universum. Met verwijzingen naar literatuur, film, theater en
andere vormen van storytelling bouwt Sunstrum aan een voortdurend groeiend
verhaal. Gesitueerd in omgevingen die futuristisch en oud tegelijk ogen, vormt
het werk een lappendeken van herinnerde landschappen uit Sunstrums jeugd in
onder meer Botswana, Canada, Soedan, Sri Lanka, Malawi en Panama. Met een
schimachtige ‘cast’ van personages verkent ze ongrijpbare ideeën over jezelf
zijn en ergens thuishoren. KM21 presenteert Sunstrums eerste solotentoonstelling
in Nederland.

Art Without Soul? Embodiment and Historical Performance
Modern performance critics often scorn nineteenth-century actors and musicians,
assuming that because they placed emphasis on exaggerated shapes and gestures
they were merely showboating — engaging in empty posturing — rather than
performing from the soul. Treatises of the period, however, suggest that this
visual and sonic hyper-physicality was the means by which these performers
generated, channeled, and communicated emotion; that they understood their art
as originating not from the soul but from the body. Engaging with these
practices today, therefore, is a necessarily embodied rather than abstract,
intellectual endeavor; one that handles the performing body (both past and
present) as a rich, creative resource rather than a soulless distraction.

In de video-installatie Sigh van Sam Taylor-Johnson speelt het BBC Concert
Orchestra een muziekstuk na zonder instrumenten.
De duizelingwekkende verzameling werken van Le catalogue de Bâle (De catalogus
van Basel) van Philippe Cognée is gebaseerd op het aanbod van de prestigieuze
kunstbeurs Art Basel.
Design Museum Dedel presenteert tot 1 oktober 2024 een selectie anti-oorlog
posters uit de eigen collectie. In deze zaal hoor je de stemmen van
vredesvoorvechters uit verschillende landen en verschillende periodes van de
vorige eeuw, een eeuw waarin de meest verschrikkelijke oorlogen in de
wereldgeschiedenis plaatsvonden en waarin het bewaren van de vrede een kwestie
werd van overleven voor de hele mensheid.
Deze tentoonstelling in het kader van 200 jaar KNRM zal lopen van 20 april tot
en met 17 november 2024. In het hele land wordt aan dit bijzondere jubileum van
de KNRM aandacht besteed in maritieme musea en de sociale media. Natuurlijk ook
in ons museum in IJmuiden, waar de KNRM, sinds de opening van het
Noordzeekanaal, een belangrijke post heeft.
Bij het graven van het Noordzeekanaal in 1876 kwam IJmuiden in aanmerking voor
het stationeren van een reddingboot. Voor die tijd deden de roeireddingboten in
Wijk aan Zee en Zandvoort het reddingwerk. In eerste instantie werd in IJmuiden
een vuurpijltoestel gestationeerd, waarmee een lijn over een gestrand schip
geschoten kon worden. IJmuiden had toen maar weinig vaste bewoners, die een
reddingboot zouden kunnen bemannen.
In 1876 werd de eerste roeireddingboot aan de noordzijde van het kanaal
gestationeerd.
Jarenlang was IJmuiden de thuishaven van de beroemde reddingboot Neeltje Jacoba.
Tegenwoordig ligt het materieel van de KNRM in IJmuiden klaar in de
vissershaven. De reddingboot Johanna Louisa al sinds 1968 en vanaf begin 2003
ook de snelle (34 knopen) reddingboot Koos van Messel en Nh1816. De Koos van
Messel en Nh1816 kunnen onder alle weersomstandigheden uitvaren.
In de tentoonstelling wordt een overzicht gegeven van het station IJmuiden, de
reddingboten en redders van toen en nu aan de hand van foto’s, films, audio en
reddingsbootmodellen. Daarnaast is in de authentieke strandkar van de ZHNRM een
maquette te bewonderen hoe in het verleden een strandredding met behulp van een
lijnmortier, wippertoestel en mechanische schijnwerpers werd uitgevoerd. Deze
objecten zijn ook in de zaal te zien. De oude mechanische schijnwerper kan met
voldoende spierkracht gaan stralen. Zowel in beeld als geluid worden bijzondere
reddingverhalen verteld. Zoals de reddingen van de ss.Salento en Flying Focus
vliegtuigje, reddingen die ook redders niet snel vergeten.
