✨Final weekend to explore How to enter from the exit, a research-driven project reimagining cultural institutions through collaboration✨
WE: “Cultural institutions are at a crossroads. With shifting political, economic, and social conditions, we need to look again at what these spaces do, and for whom. What kind of work happens here? Whose needs are met? What should a cultural institution offer, and how could it do that?
With How to enter from the exit, we want to turn the exhibition space into a place where institutions aren’t shown as finished images, but as processes, shaped by collaboration, experiment, and shared knowledge.”
@petefung : “The Office for Social Imaginaries looks and acts like a patent office (all the forms and bureaucracy) but instead of locking ideas away as property, it turns them into shared resources. What if we could subvert the paperwork around intellectual property for the purpose of the commons?”
@noam_yr : “The Viral Institution is an experimental system designed to explore what might be the smallest functional element of an institution. Using an old vending machine that was already at Onomatopee, along with some digital screens, the installation becomes a compact site where informational surplus is produced, circulated, and valorized.”
@marenbang : “Faith Looks Better at Slow Motion reimagines an altarpiece. Instead of saints, there are Maradona, Peter Shilton, and a football as ceramic figures, fixed on foosball rods. Next to it, a film moves between the surface and the tensions beneath: my interest in football, the parallels I see with religion (and faith), and my doubts about originality and timing.”
@_paskamer_ : “We imagined the exhibition as a scene in the middle of loading, with forms present but context still unfinished. A long grey curtain runs through the room at Onomatopee, forming a backdrop for each work. Grey textiles and colored lines recall the aesthetics of 3D
modeling software. Across the floor, spheres carry textures drawn from a render library, paired with tags from our collective process. They sit in the space like unfinished assets, in the process to be applied. They
can be rolled, sat on, or read.”

A quiet kind of exchange. A kind of gift.Elin, is a designer, researcher, and educator based in Iceland. Through speculative design and material research, she explores how everyday tools and systems can be reimagined. Her work often involves the public and focuses on alternative ways of producing, caring, and living together.More to come.Paskamer team: @schick.bianca @pzulini @jonashejduk @axlfrd#paskamer #rotterdam #exhibitions](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6757381112414757121225_0_bd6be120228e571925b14c5f44aad809.jpg?o=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&h=38eb1dc77ee373ebf1e9dd89d7a58462)

It’s been a month, a little delayed, but here we are: Ned Kaar Season.“If a designer works in the woods, does anyone value him?”A lamp is a lamp. A coin is a coin. A brick is a brick. A ring is a ring. A hair straightener is a hair straightener. A gift is a gift. A job is a job. And still… The question lingers.During the @designbiennalerotterdam, stop by and see what they could be. Join us for a special book reading, a beautiful book and some music to close the evening. Complimentary refreshments provided by the paskamer team. Bring a duvet if you like.We look forward to seeing you!(Notes in the speech bubbles by Ned)Therese will also be a dj set by the one and only @polarwolf___#readings #books #light #darkness #surface](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6741615970155132276263_0_359994ab9eb3517392e6bdb0c15dc9c9.jpg?o=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&h=52e00e03172a118aeada8f675ba8b2c3)
