Opening: Concentrated Motion

From October 23 to November 2, Melkweg Expo presents Concentrated Motion, a solo exhibition by Bodil Ouédraogo, curated by Anne Lakeman.

The show is structured around three chapters: Porte la Richesse (2018-2020), To Blend, Together (2021) and Framed Intimacy (2023-present). The works make space to experience an alternative reality, a different rhythm. Multiple elements of self-presentation and identity coexist in layers, questioning and reinforcing each other.

Within this layered space, “bodies” explore how they move, position, pause and present themselves. The combination of image, sculpture, textile and soundscape transforms the space into a living installation in which presence, representation and space-taking are central.

During the opening at Amsterdam Dance Event, DJs Arkaza and DRKNGHTS will be providing the music. Below is the schedule:

18:00 – 18:30 | Doors Open
18:30 – 18:45 | Opening Remarks
18:45 – 19:45 | Arakaza (live DJ set)
20:00 – 21:00 | DRKNGHTS (live DJ set)
21:00 | Closing

This exhibition is supported by Mondriaan Fund and Amsterdam Fund for the Arts
