What would it be like to be a machine? In Nasal Demons, artist and co-curator Quintus Glerum brings together 12 projects exploring the boundaries between humans and machines. Through absurdist and unexpected works, the exhibition questions our growing obsession with productivity, efficiency and technology, and what happens when we measure machines against human standards.

Tijdens Museumnacht op zaterdag 7 november komt The Argonauts van kunstenaar Ivan Morison opnieuw in beweging. Voor één nacht stelt NDSM Young Curator Marlene Deutinger een programma samen rond de sculpturen op NDSM. Met de Constructies van beeldend kunstenaar Cindy Moorman en Singing Soil van Studio Metaform (Kaj Boonstra & Emma Little) krijgen de sculpturen een nieuwe laag.

Stichting NDSM-werf presents The Argonauts at NDSM, a new public artwork by British artist Ivan Morison: a group of three monumental sculptures that introduce strange embodied forms into the post-industrial landscape of NDSM.

From April 24, the NDSM Giants will be on display at NDSM. Three eight-metre-high concrete sculptures designed by Gabriel Lester (PolyLester) are rising on the site. The giant basketball players, caught in movement, show from varying perspectives an exciting game between stillness and dynamism, between figuration and abstraction.

The text work created for NDSM by artist Lily van der Stokker is a soft and critical counterbalance to the raw character of the former shipyard, dominated by male creators.

IN TUNE is about finding a new balance between human beings and their environment by appealing to our capacity for hearing and listening. Just as tuning a musical instrument requires extremely attentive listening and observation, we must continue to listen and, as humans, tune ourselves to our surroundings. In Tune is active from 12:00 to 17:00, with an interval of 5 minutes.

Until the end of this year, two car installations by artist Bart Eysink Smeets will be on display at NDSM. These playful works, parked throughout the shipyard, focus on the car as a symbol of how we interact with space, movement, and utility.
