The Stopera’s former municipal service hall becomes a place to look a little longer and listen a little closer. Motie’s art programme brings moving light, recorded voices and personal stories into the space.

Nxt Museum is Motie’s exclusive curatorial partner for the art programme. Amsterdam’s museum for new media art explores the meeting of art and technology. At Motie, that curiosity takes shape in works by Heleen Blanken, Daniel de Bruin and Sophia Bulgakova, inviting you to experience the space through light, movement and sound.

• Helios — Heleen Blanken & Daniel de Bruin. Light and movement give this kinetic installation its own rhythm. Spend time watching it unfold, then discover how a live ambient interpretation can change your experience of the work.
• Spomyny — Sophia Bulgakova. “Spomyny” means “memories” in Ukrainian. Through an installation of pipes, voices, conversations and recordings reveal fragments of life during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Listen closely to the individual experiences carried within a much larger story.
• Sensitive Guidelines — Sophia Bulgakova. A new work presented alongside Spomyny, bringing another part of Bulgakova’s practice into Motie’s first ADE edition.

On opening night, Young Marco performs live with Jonny Nash, drawing their music into the light and movement of Helios.
