On Friday, movement runs through Motie in different forms: the shifting light of Helios, the physical presence of live dance and your own route through the installations. Explore the art programme with time to stop wherever something catches your attention.

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.

Arno Schuitemaker

Arno Schuitemaker makes dance you can feel in your own body. His intensely physical work brings movement, music and lighting into close conversation. At Motie, his performance offers another way to experience rhythm, drawing your attention from the sound to the bodies moving through it.

Oceanic performs new music of his own for the very first time in a live ambient interpretation of Helios.

Helios concert · 20:00–21:00

Choose Motie at Night for the installations and dance performance, or Motie at Night + Concert to include Oceanic’s premiere.
