Happy EARTHDAY everyone! Besides from celebrating the earth today, we also celebrate our new two exhibitions, Host(ile) Lands in het Glazen Huis - as well as outside around the space in the trees, the work Chorusing Symbionts by Matteo Marangoni. Last Sunday we had a crowded and beautiful opening, and Amsterdam newspaper 't Parool came by and published an article about it. Come visit us, read the article in the link in bio, or get yourselves a fresh beautiful Parool newspaper today😍.

It was so nice to see everyone during the opening of our new exhibitions and hear the artists talk about their work! If you couldn’t come, make sure to check the exhibitions in your own time! Chorusing Symbionts is open everyday outside Glazen Huis from 12 to 18 until 10th of May. Host(ile) Lands is open in Glazen Huis Friday to Sunday from 13 to 17 until 14th of June.

Very exciting news! The creatures of Chorusing Symbionts created by Matteo Marangoni will soon visit Amstelpark and hang out in the trees around Glazen Huis. Chorusing Symbionts is a project exploring interspecies music as a bridge between humans, animals and robots. It is inspired by current research in artificial intelligence and bioacoustics, specifically machine learning applied to animal communication. Join us for the double opening of Chorusing Symbionts and Host(ile) Lands at Glazen Huis on Sunday the 19th from 15:00-17:00, and make sure to pay attention to your surroundings! And on the 10th of May, you’re welcome to join the workshop “Music, robots and wild animals in the park”, where Matteo Marangoni will present the context and research behind the Chorusing Symbionts, linking music, artificial intelligence and ecoacoustics. Tickets via link in bio!

As the days get longer, the weather warmer, and the birds louder, our new exhibition Host(ile) Lands is fast approaching. Take a look behind the scenes and join us for the opening at Glazen Huis on Sunday the 19th from 15:00-17:00!

We proudly announce the next opening at Het Glazen Huis of the exhibition Host(ile) Lands. Sunday the 19th of April from 15.00-17.00 you are welcome to join us for a festive afternoon, stay tuned for more info!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING 𝓞𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓲𝓷 𝓢𝓽𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓼: 𝓡𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓡𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓮𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼, 𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼, 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 Last Thursday, under the full moon, we gathered for an intimate dialogue at Het Glazen Huis, where we heard many different perspectives on Rhine origin stories. In a time when tensions are high, debate is heated, and opposite views are actively fed by those who it serves most, I am grateful that we have spent an evening in kinship, holding space for all different relations that the river braids together. Together we embraced the Rhine as a lively assemblage, foregrounding the river’s own agency in shaping histories, infrastructures, and everyday lives. I am looking forward to organising more evenings like these, where we can continue to meet, discuss, challenge, agree and engage in actual dialogue with each other. The Rhine needs more stewards!  Many thanks to our 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬: Rhine River, Anne Jesuina @anne_jesuina  Anneke van Veen, Gerard Litjens, Jelmer Teunissen @jelmerteunissen  , Maud van den Beuken @maud_vdbeuken  & Xandra van der Eijk @alexandra_franciska  Many thanks to Kristina Mau Hansen @kristina_mau_hansen  for bringing the sounds of the Rhine into our midst. To Julée Al-Bayaty de Ridder for her gentle guidance as moderator of the evening. @sachavandenhaak @lava_amsterdam for highlighting our publication.

Her project ‘Re-imagining Water through Marginalized Stories in the Neerlandophone Space’ explores contemporary art, literature, oral history and performance in the Netherlands and in former Dutch colonial spaces in Brazil and Indonesia. This project aims to pose resistance to the age-old Dutch narrative of a ‘battle against the water’ in order to make space for alternative encounters that reimagine ways of living with water. She is an associate member of the Posthumanism Research Institute at Brock University (Canada) and PhD member of the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis.  We are bringing the river with us into the space through a special performance with Rhine River underwater recordings by 𝓚𝓻𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓪 𝓜𝓪𝓾 𝓗𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓮𝓷 @kristina_mau_hansen . Kristina is a sound artist and field recordist with a background in cultural geography. Her work attunes to sound and listening practices as ways to explore the relations between people and place. Ranging from questioning how do we belong in a place through listening to how listening is a path to connect with more-than-human voices. Recent projects include facilitating field recording and listening walks along the Rhine, exploring ways to listen to the river.  𓀦 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 2 April 18.30 - 21.30 𖡡 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 Glazen Huis, Zone2Source, Amstelpark ✎ Reserve your (free) spot via Eventbrite!
