The Common InnThe Common Inn

Within a motel-like environment, makers, thinkers, and the public met. For this event Het Nieuwe Instituut collaborated with curators and scenographers Simon Becks and Jules van den Langenberg.

From midday to midnight a continuous programme takes place in the various rooms of The Common Inn that focuses on the concepts of talent and talent development.

12:00 - 20:00, every two hours
On the second floor of The Common Inn, different perspectives on talent development are explored in a series of conversations. The programme is based on a series of interviews conducted by Het Nieuwe Instituut for the development of a web magazine that will be published in April, with amongst others Syb Groeneveld and Marieke Ladru (Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie), Pascale Gatzen (master, Fashion Design at ArtEZ), Arna Mačkić (Studio L A).

14:00 - 15:00
During this In Memoriam of Talent, Miriam Wistreich, Damoon Foroutanian and Adeola Enigbokan will reflect on the history of talent and talent development within and outside the creative industry. Programmed by Rosa te Velde and moderated by curator and presenter Stephanie Afrifa.

12:00 - 00:00
More than 75 designers, architects and artists submitted their work in the Call to Anyone and Everything. All participants were given a place in the programme, without a selection round being applied by the curators.

The result is the main event of The Common Inn, a twelve-hour programme in which the designers perform, test prototypes, or show recent work, spread over nine acts. Within the scripted environment of The Common Inn, everyone is encouraged to look and watch, and be participants as well as each other's audience.

21:00 - 00:00
Monty is a Dutch and German DJ and producer, based in Amsterdam. He draws his inspiration from groove. You might find yourself jumping to an ecstatic drum craze, while in the next moment you're bouncing to some funky synth disco, jacking to some old school house records, trippin' to some wavy EBM, air-guitaring some psychedelic rock and/or pistol-fingering to UK jungle.

The Italian born Amsterdam based Berton has been cutting her teeth at Red Light Radio with the monthly show À la carte, a personal tribute to the labels from the underground scene. Meanwhile she enjoys taking part in the dancefloor sweat with djsets that propose a constantly developing musical exploration, from house to breakbeat and trance, with an always present trippy signature mark.
