Quartair’s closing exhibition of 2024 is an ode to The Hague’s art scene. The title refers not only to local talents, but also to the different hues, or the subjectivity of each participating artist. The exhibition, curated by Annemieke Louwerens, presents works from different disciplines by artists either born or currently based in the city. From recently graduated KABK alumni to some of the longest established artists, what connects them is their playful creative processes.

Photography, paintings, sculptures, installations and video works come together in a dynamic symbiosis, where each work bears its own story while engaging in a dialogue with the other works in the space. By presenting these pieces side by side, a cross-pollination will occur, where new meanings and interpretations may be born. The public is invited to explore the interrelations that will emerge from this context.

During the opening, on November 23, dancer Charlie Skuy (NDT) performed among the artworks. During Hoogtij, on November 29, dancer Ève-Marie Dalcourt performed a choreography by Dimo Milev.

Acts of Publication

Upcoming Saturday, July 6th, we will be hosting a movement workshop focusing on practices of “dribble”, dodging, “esquiva”.

“Dribble” as in dodging obstacles through sudden quick movements, aims to achieve a loose body. The loose body means a body living in the present, a body ready to fight; a body that dances to handle the everyday, surviving societal and colonial violence. At the same time, it dances to write history, to celebrate memories, to shake control and colonial “peace”. On this day we will move in order to write narratives, and imagine ways of publishing knowledge through dance and orallity.

Parcela de Tierra is a movement research collective created out of the need of shared spaces for bodies displaced from their own environments. Organised by designers, activists and performace artists Elisa de la Serna and Lara Silva Santos, they invite Yadhira de León to facilitate this workshop.

Parcela de Tierra seeks to reclaim space and to question Eurocentric, institutional and repressive environments in which popular culture has little to no room to flourish. It strives to hold space and to facilitate performances based on improvisation, connection and affection. Collaboration with grassroots initiatives is an essential part of the collective’s practice, for the creation of a support network that transcends institutional borders. Check out their other events planned this week.
