Life drawing session | Nice Flaps x Ariane Toussaint

You are warmly invited to the life drawing session inside the exhibition 'Ouvrages de Dames' by Ariane Toussaint. For two hours two models will pose while bathing in the pools of coloured light, acting out a choreography in the space that will contrast the abstract nature of Ariane's textile works.

The drawing session will echo the colour and geometry of the works by allowing the audience to draw it in relation to the human body. It will also help consider themes of privacy, intimacy and vulnerability that occur when thinking about curtains and the naked body.

Sunday 19th October

14:00-16:00

15:30-16.45h

De Autoriteit: De Autoriteit is a Dutch band with influences from Hip Hop, Reggae, Ska, and Funk. They are known for infectious grooves and catchy lyrics. Anyone who’s seen them live already knows: they might just be the most fun hip-hop act in the Netherlands.

15:00-15:30h & 16:30-17:00h
DJ Le Même is a Colombian-Dutch DJ known for blending various Latin American genres, creating a dynamic fusion that gets everyone dancing. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia — home of the famous Carnaval de Barranquilla — DJ Le Même draws inspiration from the playful, rebellious spirit of the iconic Marimonda character. His sets feature everything from traditional cumbia, merengue, and salsa to high-energy guaracha, Latin house, and reggaeton.

About:
Are you someone from the East living now in the West? Are you someone from the West intrigued about Eastern cultures? Regardless of your background, we aspire to give you a memorable, multi-sensory experience that is a breath of fresh air in your busy life - literally and figuratively! We (a group of Taiwanese artists living in the Netherlands), like many diasporas, are continually exploring questions like “who am I becoming”, “what am I here to do”, and “where or to what do I belong”. But these questions are not unique to diasporas. Everyone at some point(s) in his/her/their life is bound to grapple with such identity questions, especially in today’s globalized world. This program is our contribution to expressing the value of heritage, connection and growth within and between peoples, between the West and the East. The program includes two parts: We begin with a guided walk outside on the beautiful grounds of Zeelab in den Haag with art installations that invite you to become curious, contemplate and make space for inspiration. After the walk, we head into the studio for a performance with cello, dance and lighting that blends western classics with eastern roots and reflects our own progress in forming our identities. It is our hope that the experience will give you abundant energy and inspiration to explore questions relevant to you and find what fulfills you.
