A storyteller whose guitar playing incorporates Latin American influences, he ensures that anyone listening cannot stand still. This year, Tobias is releasing the first music from his artist project: Danceable Elektronische Nederpop.

Blue Stories: Exhibition and Listening Session

On May 16th, Ghazaleh Moqanaki and Golnoosh Heshmati invite you to Blue Stories, an installation and listening session developed through dialogue and shared research.

Blue Stories traces how attention moves around ongoing conditions, beginning with the water crisis in Iran and shifting toward forms of knowledge that persist beyond cycles of visibility. Drawing on rain-calling rituals from different regions of Iran, the project engages with practices that bring together fieldwork, storytelling, and community building.

The installation and sound work are based on fieldwork conducted on Brienenoordeiland in Rotterdam, alongside archival material related to rain-calling rituals.

Visitors are invited to support grassroots initiatives working with communities in Iran affected by ongoing environmental challenges.

About the artists

Golnoosh’s practice proposes listening as a method for engaging with archives and site-specific research, approaching them as landscapes where histories, material processes, and forms of navigation emerge over time. By translating ephemeral traces and peripheral narratives into embodied encounters, she develops works across sound, text, and ceramics that integrate multichannel sonic works and sculptural forms.

Ghazale’s work can be translated through myths and stories. She is drawn to stories about monsters, the power of storytelling, and how myths and narratives relate to our physical experiences. She is inspired by objects of nostalgia and playing objects. Objects then become her puppets, her music and her thoughts. Her work often incorporates light, shadows, illusion, figurative sculptures, puppets, dolls, mechanisms, craft making, video and animation.

Green Agents in Time & Curatorial Guidelines

24th of April from 19:00

See Lab, Duinstraat 57, The Hague

On April 24th, Seelab will host a book launch with music by Lyckle de Jong and Kim David Bots, who also composed the soundtrack for The Plantiarchy. During the evening, Curatorial Guidelines and Green Agents in Time will be presented. Created with G.C. Heemskerk and Jessica Ulrich, Curatorial Guidelines offers reflections on how to ethically engage with plants and non-human animals within an art context.

Green Agents in Time, recently selected for Best Dutch Book Designs and later this year part of an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, forms the basis for The Plantiarchy (2025), a film by G.C. Heemskerk and Bernice Nauta in which plants take center stage in a speculative world.

Bermuda Open Studios - April 18 & 19 - 11:00 - 18:00

Bermuda Open is an annual, artist-led event that opens the doors to contemporary art studios across The Hague.

Now in its fifth edition, the event brings together more than 140 visual artists, welcoming visitors into the spaces where art is made. Across more than 20 locations in the city, you can explore individual studios, shared workspaces, artist-run initiatives, and group exhibitions.

This year marks Seelab’s first participation, with nine artists opening their studios, as well as a group exhibition where visitors can get to know their practices more closely. Visitors are invited to explore a range of practices and perspectives, offering a deeper, more intimate insight into the ideas, processes, and conversations shaping the work.

Bermuda Open is a unique chance to meet the artists behind the work and experience The Hague’s contemporary art scene firsthand. Founded in 2021 as a small initiative, the event takes its name from the triangular route that once connected its first participating studios. Today, it has grown into a city-wide celebration of artistic practice and community.

Participating artists at See Lab:

Studio 1 - Annabelle Schatteman

Studio 3 - Lili Berger

Studio 7 - Isabelle Backer

Studio 16 - Nienke Roth

Studio 17 - Menno Pasveer

Flow////State___: Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes //////// Arvind Ganga

Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes is an audio-visual project based in The Hague, The Netherlands.

It’s a project where the audio world and the visual world are interwoven and in constant conversation with each other. The result is a deeply immersive experience, where the visual component is an equal partner to the music and the performance space, drawing the audience into a world that can be at once calm and meditative, yet intense and highly moving.

This performance is to celebrate the release of their second album, titled Flow////State___, which is co-released by the labels Wormhole World (UK) and Geertruida (NL), on March 13th. The album will be available for purchase at the concert on CD, cassette, and also as poster plus download code.

The sonic side of the project features the guitar duo of Gonçalo Oliveira and James A.-McEwan, who unfold slow-moving instrumental landscapes of drones, post-rock ambience, noise-inflected textures, and post-minimalist environments. They showcase the unique capabilities of their instruments, in a carefully developed duo interaction.

Their sound world interacts with the performative visuals of Felix Bodin, created with his self-designed visual instrument: a mirrored surface that bends, spreads, or focuses digital projections into shifting sculptural fields of light. His visual language is woven into the

fabric of the project, forming an engrossing and captivating experience.

Arvind Ganga is fascinated by the physicality of the guitar and the wide range of sounds it produces when any of its parts are played with objects, magnetic fields, or his bare hands: an approach he describes as using “improper techniques”. His music is raw and direct, whether it's abrasive or delicate, and continually crosses the border between music and abstract sound.

Opening tonight’s concert, he presents his Three Amplifier Immersive Guitar Sound System Experience: a rudimentary yet effective diy multi-channel setup that immerses the audience in sound coming from all directions. From sparse, crackling textures and ethereal radiant drones, to dense webs of mingling, fusing and colliding sounds, he presents an intense yet joyful experience, created live on the spot, investigating the perception of sound and music.
