@30m3___ has a two-week break now between the recent collab with Lotte van Gelder and the one with Lucia Luptákova coming up. In this period I present the suitable 'break work' Color Bar (Serbia, 2007) in the window.
The last time it was exhibited, was at Limburg Biennale 2024 at @marres_maastricht . This year my work was selected again for a show in Marres, see my previous post /p/DYCEBPkjYGt/?img_index=1
Performance 'Witte Ruis' by Lotte van Gelder and team today was a blast!
☀️🌿🐺
Thank you all for joining
🙏🏼

Uitnodiging /invitation 4 May 2026 Witte Ruis /Alarm performance
Kom! En beweeg mee: at 12 pm we start at Borneostraat 90d while the monthly alarm is silent- and flow into the performance Alarm/Mei of @severineamsing - from there we move to ZeeburgerDIJK 25 m 1 @30m3___ in a choreography of remembrance beyond national and totalitarian force .. we weave song connected to our pluriform desires and pull them into present and futures .. to the sites inbetween and art of interstice .. as the wolves point their ears to our calls, will they sing back? If your inner world shifts a little in the face of our call.. A soft monument appears..

Movement 2 incantation and open rehearsal
Bring your broken frames and sing ~ of die vermaledijde visualiteit - of…
Frozen in plastic you can still hear the howl and they found their way to the site - today you might meet them - it’s great if you join - I am absolutely not ready but let’s go - from far away @severineamsing points her ears and signals - stone wolves in Rome - words of @haitian._salsa and words of @mamelgares accompany my thoughts
I went to find their carriers in @mariablaisse bamboo garden - harvesting two stems - and have been wrapping my hands around slippery words - wolf stone green tail howl repeat -
Relational stories 2. Meeting @nisala.info on the late night bus and taking a seat - now their magic bass incantations will fill the site and shake loose inner bounds of you are willing to- and @yipinprogress has been sending calls through the digital that will materialize vocalize in the present.. I add my voice and scratch my nails on wood
With the support, craft and energy of @sutomesen all comes together in @30m3___

Production meeting about the next steps of @_lot_lot / Lotte van Gelder's project Witte Ruis at 30m3___ in collaboration with @severineamsing on April 25 and May 4. More information closer to the date
Elke eerste maandag van de maand om 12 uur gaat het alarm af. Precies op dat moment opent er een expositie in het atelier op Borneostraat 90 in Amsterdam met een unieke performance van 1 minuut en 26 seconden.
Alarm is een duo-expositie in het atelier van Severine Amsing. Op 6 april met Lotte van Gelder. De expositie duurt tot 14 uur.
Het geluid van de sirene dringt overal doorheen, wat ook de bedoeling is: we moeten reageren, in beweging komen, tegelijkertijd niet in paniek raken, op een holletje naar huis gaan, deuren en ramen sluiten. Lotte is kunstenaar en dichter, ze maakt en doet performances, vaak buiten wanneer de plek of situatie haar uitnodigt. De sirene intrigeert haar. Ze zegt dat geluid (muziek, kabaal, een roep) onderhandelen is. Als ik vraag waarom, zegt ze dat geluid doordringend is qua vorm, dat het ruimte maakt, botst met ruimte en weer doorgaat. Ze zegt dat het van ons een reactie afdwingt: loop je weg, blijf je luisteren of laat je van je horen? Wat doe je en hoe werkt de ruimte hieraan mee? Is dit het moment om andere ruimte te maken?
Dit Alarm is een prelude, Alarm # mei is een vervolg, eveneens met Lotte. Beide keren zal er geen sirene te horen zijn. Toch vormt dit geluid, deze roep, de aanleiding. Het brengt haar maandelijks terug naar de wolven in Artis. Jaren geleden alweer filmde ze hoe de roedel even voor twaalven lekker in de zon lag te slapen. Het alarm daarentegen ontlokt een vorm van ‘vrij’ wolvengedrag dat botst met hun gekooidheid. Lotte wil iets doen met mijn geweven rokken waarbij ik met een staalborstel de zachte wollige binnenkant naar de harde katoenen buitenkant heb getrokken. Voor mij zijn de rokken als bewegende landschappen; zij herinnert zich de wolven.
Lotte verbindt mijn atelier met de exporuimte 30m3 van Su Tomesen iets verderop. In 30m3 (spreek uit: dertig meter drie) is ze deze maanden artist in residence. Op 25 april zal daar een openingsexpo zijn, gevolgd door een performance op 4 mei. Die dag is het Dodenherdenking én Alarm # mei. Ze laat op 4 mei de performance bij mijn atelier om twaalf uur beginnen en eindigt deze in 30m3. Je bent van harte welkom!

Movement 1 the wolves are sleeping
Als je me niet roept, dan blijf ik slapen..
If you don’t call for me, I will just be sleeping
Two screens connect attentions between @severineamsing and @30m3___ where the wolves are sleeping still - you can find them there day and night through the coming weeks -
On Monday April 6 Severine will perform her monthly action Alarm with a performance and exhibition that weaves her landscape skirts with the presence of the wolves - between 12 and 2 pm Borneostraat 90d Amsterdam - this moment is also the prelude to several stages of Soft Monument Witte Ruis that I develop at the residency 30m3__ of @sutomesen
Relational story 1. In August 2014 @mamelgares and me went to meet the three arctic wolves that lived enclosed in the zoo. And as the sirens of first Monday of the month were going off, we listened, recorded and contemplated the ready made quality of this performance of howling and the cruelty of this man-made setting - these contemplations now begin to land in concrete form. It takes the time it takes, and 12 years fulfills a spiral.

I trace some memory lines in Amsterdam Oost during my residency @30m3___ As a child I would follow my mothers footsteps here, midwife with a practice in the area - as she was running errands and visiting pregnant folk - through the squatted post industrial buildings in the Docklands, the brick houses of Czaar Peter buurt, by the market and Javastraat, I would be bored and daydream while waiting for her in the car during check-ins with new borns - weaving frayed dreams that still speak to me during this time of developing a new soft monument Witte Ruis and give my movements in the area a sense of intimate knowing. Similar intimacies and frayed landscapes are found in the weaving of @severineamsing who has her storefront just 7 minutes walking from here and whose magical skirts will feature in the performance of May 4. With thanks to @sutomesen for holding space for all of this.

Last week 30m3__ welcomed artist @_lot_lot Lotte van Gelder. She will work here on her ongoing project Witte Ruis, a performance for site, sound, movement, poetry and printed matter.
We will also collaborate with @severineamsing and alarm.
