New Year's Drinks X WORK, BODY, LEISURENew Year's Drinks X WORK, BODY, LEISURE

Come join us to celebrate the new year with drinks and music by dj Mo Jakob. A series of performances will activate the rooms of WORK, BODY, LEISURE, the Dutch contribution to the Biennale Architettura 2018, now on show in Rotterdam.

RSVP

• Performances by Krump-dancers Brui5er and The Empress
• Lecture performance and conversation by Malique Mohamud (Het Nieuwe Instituut Fellow 2018), on his research The Bodega aka Avondwinkel as a site of archival practices.
• Screening Automated Landscapes: the Countryside Tour: A visit to sites of automated labor, organized by the European Post-master in Urbanism, TU Delft, and Het Nieuwe Instituut.

WORK, BODY, LEISURE addresses the spatial configurations, modes of living, and notions of the human body engendered by disruptive changes in labor ethos and conditions. The project, commissioned by Het Nieuwe Instituut and curated by Marina Otero Verzier, Director of Research at Het Nieuwe Instituut, includes contributions by a group of architects, artists, designers, historians, musicians and theorists selected by the curatorial team and through a number of open calls. This collaborative endeavor seeks to foster new forms of creativity and responsibility within the architectural field in response to emerging technologies of automation. A domain of research and innovation that, despite its ongoing transformation of the built environment and bodies that inhabit it, is still largely devoid of a critical spatial perspective.
