Burning Down The House Woodworks by Mirjana Vrbaški and Mirko Lazović 4bid Gallery Exhibition duration: June 20-23, 2025 Opening: Friday, June 20, 2025, 20:00 Artists Mirjana Vrbaški and Mirko Lazović unite in this exhibition to create a sculptural experiment around the equivocal act of burning wood. Lazović’s process begins with destruction, with the scent of fire and charred wood. It explores the fragile moment before structural collapse. For Lazović, working with wood is an act of cleansing, a material entry into the unknown. Vrbaški approaches fire as a life-giving force, harnessing its regenerative qualities. Burning is seen as a stage in the cycle of decay and renewal that fosters growth of unfamiliar new life forms. A sculptural installation reminisces an uncanny fungal formation. Photographs printed on wood acquire new visual language through charring of the image. Mirjana Vrbaški is a visual artist with a background in photography. Mirko Lazović is a multimedia artist and a theatre designer. mirjanavrbaski.com mirkolazovic.com @mirjanavrbaski @nuncium

B.base is a pilot program by 4bidgallery. It is based on the body, and how this is a source for work through different mediums of Art. The evenings of exhibition, performances, a screening and a panel discussion around the theme of the body. The aim of B.base is to explore the (moving) body by questioning how artists, working with different mediums, represent it, use it as a tool, admire it or make it the subject of their work to express their concepts.

gem'n'eye (Irina Baldini and Emily Welther) Juliette Lizotte with a scenography by Noah Cohen and infrastructure by vo ezn; Fernando Couto

Paintings by Fernando Couto from the serie Flare of Regret:

Beyond the materiality of painting, my work deals with themes such as movement, energy, and transformation. The brushstroke becomes a trace of speed and force, evoking natural and cosmic phenomena — beehive patterns, tree branches, electric discharges, and spiraling smoke. I am particularly interested in the violence of color and line — not in terms of representation, but as pure sensation. As Deleuze suggests, it is about painting the scream more than the horror itself. My paintings evoke fluidity and combustion, exploring the idea of creation through destruction, with images of burning landscapes, dissolving forms, and figures engulfed in fire.

ABOUT the Performances this night:

1: FINE LINE by gem'n'eye (Irina Baldini and Emily Welther)

Through a multidisciplinary approach (using voice, sound, movement and video), in FINE LINE gem'n'eye experiments with notions of decay and transformation. We let our bodies relate to stories of mythical creatures such as fairies, sprites and sylphs, and our minds reflect on themes of mortality and renewal through concepts of decomposition, oxidation, and alchemy. In the sound and movement that emerge through this exploration, we find a shallow tension, a fine line between creation, transformation, and decomposition.

2: harri kanta - orchestrated by Juliette Lizotte with a scenography by Noah Cohen and infrastructure by vo ezn.

Between reality and fiction, (pre)History and stories, harri kanta is a journey to the core of an alternative history of Euskal Herria, exploring the idea that it is still inhabited by genies from its forgotten animist mythology. What emerges is a fable that interweaves tales of resistance (to Christianity, industrialization, the French and Spanish administrations, patriarchy, capitalism...), folklore and queer theory.

SCREENINGS AND CONVERSATION WITH ALL ARTISTS at 19:30h

ABOUT the screening this evening:  
  
1:  
Laury Hooghuis  
  
'Under Reconstruction' is an 8-minute film piece by filmmaker Laury Hooghuis, based in Amsterdam. This film was featured in de Volkskrant last February, where it was described as: “Under Reconstruction has an ambiguous tension, both through the uncanny sounds […] and through the sure-handed direction and rhythmic editing. The film showcases a carefully constructed choreography of glances, movements and footsteps that follow each other in such a way that the viewer’s imagination naturally weaves an associative story (Janna Reinsma, de Volkskrant, Amsterdam)''. This short film gives a deep emotional experience, set in a building that is slowly being demolished. We follow three characters in their search for each other – or rather, for themselves. The film has an intriguing, atmospheric narrative, in which the experience of the characters is central. It is a cinematic unsettled world in which Hooghuis stimulates the imagination of the viewer and encourages them to consciously experience their own subconscious.  
  
  
2: Ethan Lieutet Khnafo  
  
'I Liver You' Between metaphor and reality, this performance explores the imag- ery of the liver in moroccan culture, organ remplacing the heart has the symbol of love. In a transgressive action towards myself, I inger- ate 1 Kilo of liver, hoping that on top of the protein impact, it will also increase my opportunities with romantic chances. It is a place of balance between self-harm and self-love
  
  
3. Margarita Kosareva and Astrid Ardag

'Wildborn' is a visual metamorphosis that immerses the viewer in an animistic world to reposition the human on an evolutionary path – a path of rebirth and the physical awakening of the wild spirit.

Dear music lovers,  

After long period of hibernation, the itch to organise a great party in Amsterdam has flared back up again.  

Over a decade ago we started Mechanism, being fans of the Detroit/Old school Techno sound, as an answer to the minimal hype back then.  

This time around, we feel the urge to pay tribute to the Electro sound. What better way of doing this than by inviting the fantastic Electro label CyberDomain to OT301 along with an phat (inter)national line up.  

Join us for a night of futuristic sounds and intergalactic rhythms to release your inner cyborg.  

The future is near!

The OT301 was squatted ('99) and bought ('06) by Eerste Hulp bij Kunst. Public functions, housing and ateliers are combined for the arts and subculture.

When we, the Vereniging Eerste Hulp Bij Kunst (E.H.B.K.) first squatted the former film academy building in 1999, it was in very bad shape. The original plan of the local council, Stadsdeel Oud West, was to let it rot for a few years, then knock it down to build a bicycle path.
It was a really crazy idea. They budgeted it at something like 8 million euros, and everybody in the neighborhood was against it, particularly because theres a good bicycle path 50 meters down the road.
Naturally, it wasn‘t hard for us to come up with a better plan for the building. And after only one year of programming and presenting noncommercial art and music, the Project Management Bureau of Amsterdam named the OT301 an incubator for artists. Broedplaats Amsterdam, a new project started by the city to fund subcultural initiatives, granted us €770,000 for fire-safety repairs, and wind and water-resistant renovations.
With this support from the city, we went from squatters to legal renters, and were given a four year rental contract from Stadsdeel. This ensured the cultivation of an environment where artists could grow and experiment without commercial interference. It also enabled them to keep ticket prices for public events affordable, and provide low-cost in-house services, like printing, web-design, video production, and audio mastering, all aimed at artists and nonprofit groups.
After a couple of years of renting the option to buy the building came up. Although we had no money we started thinking about how we could get the money together to buy the building we all loved. The Triodos Cultuur fonds agreed to back us with a mortgage, so we had a very long internal meeting about wether or not we should buy the building as a collective. There was pros and cons and not everybody agreed on all the terms but we all realized that if we wouldn’t buy it someone else would and that might be the end of us. So we did it, we bought the building and since 2007 we have been the official owners of the OT301.
When changing from squatters to renters we had to change our internal structure and when we bought the building, we had to change some things again. We became an official building with licenses and all the rules that come with those licenses. The opposite of what we as former squatters were used to, but that’s the path we chose to take.
In the following years we slowly developed our democratic system and had our ups and downs. Meetings sometimes took more then 6 hours and decisions sometimes took weeks or months to take. Nonetheless we always have a core group of people that are willing to put in their time and effort to make it work.
At this moment we are still developing and shaping our organization and thoughts. We will probably always be a living organism that always allows itself to renew and reshape.
We hope to stay an inspiring building/organization that programs music, art, dance, theatre, film, workshops, vegan food and other experimental events for many more years.
