OFF VENUE Tour

Against the vibrant backdrop of ADE, with its celebration of sound and collective energy, OFF VENUE shifts the focus of nightlife: from escapism to embodiment, from spectacle to sensory depth. The venues of Nieuw-West become living laboratories where the featured works share a belief in the body as a site of ritual. Always in flux, shaped by rhythm, sensation, and collective presence.

Be surprised by the artists who reimagine nightlife, offering fresh, boundary-pushing rituals for the here and now. The tour starts at 19:30 at Atelier Touki Delphine, De Sloot (Rhoneweg 6) and ends via Club Raum (Humbergweg 3) at De Sloot (Rhoneweg 6-10) at 22:00. 

Combine with dinner at De Sering 

Before the tour, you're welcome to enjoy a delicious meal at De Sering community kitchen at 6:00 PM. The cost is €30.00, including the tour, dinner, and a drink.

Programma

Monolith 1: the black piece - Mári Mákó & Sofie Kramer @ Atelier Touki Delphine, Rhoneweg 6 

Monolith 1: the black piece is a hypnotic pole dancing trip. The pole becomes a sacred object, a gate to a different world where ancient wisdom lies, a forgotten wisdom that hides inside the body. 

Sofie & Mári resurrect the energy of this metallic agent, seeing the pole as a ritualist object that provokes a spiritual experience, while at the same time playing with the cliches of pole dancing and the expectations of the audience. Through interaction between the dancer and the pole, supported by bright white light and futuristic electronic sounds, the audience is left with a hybrid atmosphere between now and tomorrow. 

Spatial Odysseys: mutual bloom edition - Catalina Reyes Navarro @ Club Raum, Humbergweg 3

Catalina Reyes Navarro, artist-in-residence at Club Raum presents a special exhibition that invites us to engage with Catalina’s research into the nightclub as a space of transformation, decay, and regeneration, where club culture merges with ecological imagination.

The selected works respond to themes such as the ephemerality of the club night as a self-sustaining ecosystem; symbiotic thinking and mutual entanglement; and more-than-human worlds—ranging from the intelligence of fungi to geological rhythms and elemental forces. 

SENESCENCE - Camiel Corneille @ De Sloot, Rhoneweg 6-10

The body fights to transcend itself. In SENESCENCE, Korzo maker in residence Camiel Corneille shows a man struggling with growth and decay. He is unable to accept the transformation of his body. Is transience really inevitable?

Camiel lays out the duality of humankind in a combination of virtuoso physicality and a kinetic installation: the effort it takes to perform and the inevitable decay that comes with it.
