Boris Acket presents TIJDSDUUR
In this second iteration of contemporary composer and audiovisual artist Boris Acket's series 'DURATION' the artist heads to De School for a month-long takeover. This exhibition is inspired and derived from a work featured in the exhibition: 'Durée'. Acket challenges the human perception of time by ritualistic performative installations that continuously change shape during that month and move spaces. The exhibition is opened with a string of performances on ADE Wednesday, with Slagwerk Den Haag, Jameszoo, Elsemarijn Bruijs, Helena Basilova and Spekki Webu,who bring the works to life in a completely new way, together with platform Minimal Collective. The performances are free of charge to visit.

House culture is rooted in black history, the LGBTQAI+ community, underground clubs, and in the freedom of expression. Get to know the club culture better through movement, education, and inspiration with Lynnee Denise and Steppin Into Tomorrow, or join Zev's house dance workshop. DJ collective Chill on Tuesday brings the grooves back-to-back with Chocolate Brown on ADE Friday.
