⭐️Performance highlight: Geo Wyex’ performance Nobody Wade Never Too Much (2024-2026)

In Sarphatipark, an esteemed professor, wades through low-lying waters “looking for stars out of what stinks”. Geo Wyex closes the festival with a solo performance borrowing from the classic absurdist play Waiting for Godot and Luther Vandross’ 1981 hit single “Never Too Much,” as an interminable relay between the nothing and the something that is all that we got when we get together.

Free entry, no registration required.

⭐️Performance highlight: Çağlar Köseoğlu and Saverio Cantoni

‘throw a stone: Ramallah looks violet from the night of justice’ is a live reading and sonic performance by poet Çağlar Köseoğlu and sound artist Saverio Cantoni. Structured around four poems engaging the ongoing war and genocide in Palestine, the work treats text as a live score, improvising across voice and sound in real time.

The performance is followed by an artist talk. Free entry, no registration required.

📍 Saturday 5 September, 19.00-20.30
Amstelkerk, Amstelveld 10

⭐️Performance highlight: Giulia Damiani’s performance Apologia

The performance artist presents an extract from her new work Apology for Fire. This short solo performance investigates how power and climate narratives choreograph public space. It is inspired by the artist’s stay in areas of Portugal impacted by wildfires, and offers an alternative public discourse on how non-normative bodies inhabit, share, and reclaim urban space — connecting with what exists beyond.

The performance on Saturday is followed by an artist talk. Free entry, no registration required.

📍 Friday 4 September, 19:00-19.30
Café Belcampo, Hannie Dankbaarpassage 10 (inside De Hallen) 📍 Saturday 5 September, 16:00-17.00

ENTER/PUBLIC/SPACE & ENTER/PUBLIC/STAGE
a special group exhibition including a four-day performance festival

With this project, which opens on September 3rd, ROZENSTRAAT continues its engagement with performance in public space and video art in general.

Bringing together a diverse group of artists, the exhibition and festival explore the performativity of the body, presence in public spaces, and the political dimensions of urban design and technology.

Taking Esther P***k’s AmsterdamREALTIME (2002) as its starting point, Enter/Public/Space and Enter/Public/Stage bring together videos, performances, readings, tours, and workshops that consider public space as both stage and subject. The programme invites us to look at the ways bodies are read, regulated and surveilled, while also imagining new forms of movement, solidarity and collective action.

JULIKA RUDELIUS

10/08/2026

We’re already entering the final week of Julika Rudelius’ exhibition The Seamless Real, which means we’re sharing the last part of our conversation with the artist 🌹🎥

In this video, Rudelius reflects on why she chooses to seduce viewers with beauty rather than tell them what to think. She believes art can create something open-ended, where social media narrows our view.

In The Seamless Real, Rudelius moves between observation and magnified representation. She depicts human, animal, and mechanical bodies as sites of control and restraint, presenting the body as a project that requires constant maintenance and perfection.

Alongside a selection of photographs and drawings, the videos create an image world that revolves not only around distinctly patriarchal notions of potency and dominance, but also around seduction, devotion, vulnerability, and desire.

⏳ Still a few days left to visit! The exhibition runs until August 15.

ROZENSTRAAT is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 1–6 PM.

Join us next Saturday for the artist talk with Elif Satanaya Özbay and Minne Kersten🌹

Özbay and Kersten are both artists who work extensively with video and are also close friends. In this informal conversation, they discuss their working methods and the ideas behind their practice, sharing how projects develop, the technical choices they make, how they approach challenges in the process, and what inspires them.

This will also be your last chance to see And then we watched Khabib fly out of the octagon (2019) by Elif Santana Özbay, now on view in Rosebud #18

📍Saturday 15 August, 17.30h

In Metropolis M verscheen deze week een uitgebreid interview met Julika Rudelius over The Seamless Real.

“In haar films werkt Rudelius vaak zonder script met van straat geplukte participanten. Dit resulteert in vervreemdende, maar herkenbare narratieven waarin de modellen onverwachte kanten van zichzelf laten zien. In tijden van polarisering en vertwijfeling is het volgens Rudelius sterker dan ooit nodig om onze blik te verbreden.”
