BEK summer party 12 August
Published
Please join us for BEK’s summer party on Friday 12 August at 19:00 for a night celebrating BEK-community and the last days of summer!
We will open the party with a workshop by Sveinung Rudjord Unneland, Borghild Rudjord Unneland and Charlotte Besuijen, inviting you to decorate our blank walls. Come leave your mark at BEK in neon and glitter!
After that we invite you to performances by Omar E. Johnsen & Luke Drozd, and by Jiska Huizing & Mathias Loose. Johnsen and Drozd were working in a studio residency at BEK this spring exploring a shared audio language, and will perform some of the collaborative material. Our current residents Huizing and Loose are investigating field recording and its relation to place and memory, as well as generative and interactive audio systems. In the performance, they will share some glimpses from their creative process.
We will heat up our barbecue, prepare some salads and snacks and serve you a welcome drink! Please bring whatever you would like to grill, and whatever else you need for good summer vibes.
Last, but not least, the summer party will be an opportunity to celebrate our beloved former colleague Marieke Verbiesen, who recently left her position at BEK.
