HOOGTIJ #76

Do you think you could become friends with an ancient mythological creature?

Join 1646 during Museumnacht Kids for an exciting adventure, surrounded by the beautiful sculptures of the artist Rasmus Myrup. He brought a group of mythical beings from the past to the exhibition space. Full of ancient powers and elements from nature, this evening is an invitation for children to meet the artwork with their senses and imagination in an interactive and playful way.

Children can explore the materials that are used for some of the sculptures, as well as participate in the game who is who? Can they guess which figure belongs to which story?
Additionally, the kids are invited to unleash their creativity by designing their own festive outfits on paper, inspired by the costumes of Rasmus’s sculptures.

Museumnacht Kids

Unlocked/Reconnected is an initiative that brings together a wide range of ‘houses of art’: museums, exhibition spaces, galleries, artist run initiatives and corporate collections — with around 200 participants in total. The project is driven by solidarity and aims to celebrate the reopening of art spaces across the board. The idea of Unlocked/Reconnected is to collectively reflect on notions of ‘home’. After months of homebound self-isolation at the behest of worldwide lockdown measurements, the project intends to collectively welcome visitors back in our ‘homes’.

Our contribution to Unlocked/Reconnected is Carmen Roca Igual’s video Novel, which was also on view during the 1646 Street View Cinema. The work offers a poignant reflection on ‘home life’ in times of the virus. With Novel, 1646 participated in Unlocked/Reconnected, celebrating the reopening.

_Novel_ is a 20-minute dramatic musing on the external and internal masks we choose to put on. The video takes place at the beginning of the lock down in Spain. The characters (Lola, Rosa, Carmen and her Mother) are stuck at home and boredom starts to overcome them. Before long they question their own self image out loud as they begin to talk to and even gossip with selfies and inanimate objects. The girls go through an introspective journey, in a quarantine, accompanied by their phones and tablets. Their devices invent new gestures that affect our natural behaviors — like the flickering of a Face Filter with a slight tilt of the head to put our masks back on.

1646 is een experimentele kunstruimte in hartje Den Haag. Met een experimenteel, internationaal, en gratis publieksprogramma wil 1646 een bijdrage leveren aan een samenleving die steeds complexer wordt. Hier worden gevestigde structuren en traditionele gezichtspunten aan de kaak gesteld om te reflecteren op de vragen waar we allemaal mee rondlopen.
In haar tentoonstellingsprogramma toont 1646 innovatieve kunstenaarspraktijken en worden lokale en internationale kunstenaars uitgenodigd om nieuw werk te produceren. Het programma bestaat uit een breed overzicht van tentoonstellingen, artist talks, evenementen, publicaties, gesprekken, podcasts en een artist-in-residence programma. 1646 is een stichting die zich wijdt aan het creëeren van de ruimte en de middelen om kunstpraktijk te stimuleren. Door de focus op solo-projecten biedt 1646 een diepgravend inzicht in de kunstenaar en diens werk.
