1——06 UNDER(DE)CONSTRUCTION x WILHELMINE
A year ago, we stepped into the raw, historic Wilhelmine theatre. From the moment we saw it, there was no way back. This was a venue left untouched for nearly half a century, frozen in time. We saw what it was but also what it could become: a breathing, evolving cultural organism. And we made it happen.
With the pioneering partnership of
@trockland , and the power of our understanding of artistic transformation, we redefined what is possible within historical walls. 1—06 is never meant to be just a gallery—it is a cultural laboratory, a place where art is not merely displayed but plays an active role in shaping the space it fills and the community who engage with it.
We were running against time, government consent and of course the financial resources required for such a project.
But this is how culture is made. Not by waiting. Not by seeking validation. But by doing. By taking risks. By stepping forward even when the ground is uncertain.
The vision of 1-06 was built with many hands, many minds, and many hearts. And that’s what it’s all about.
GIVE, GIVE, GIVE.
This space was always meant to be temporary. That is its magic. It was never meant to be controlled, or limited. It existed for a moment, a catalyst, an ignition. Free from judgment, only expansion. 1-06 is a platform for creative forces to collide and elevate each other—in honour of the building, in honour of art, in honour of the people who dared to show up.
That’s how this works. That’s how we move forward. That’s how we build what comes next.
We don’t follow rules. We write new ones. We don’t want spectators. We invite participants. We don’t just build. We curate encounters.
We would love to hear what you like the most about the project? What would you dream of creating with us in the future? Let’s continue the conversation for the year to come 🐉 We are ready!!
We are grateful for Trockland, the trust they bestowed on us in the impossible and giving us this space to create something that will never be forgotten. We encourage you to check out what they do with the space in the year to come.
