Warmoes Biënnale: tattooshop x verlangen

During the Warmoes Biënnale, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will talk to waiting customers and passers-by about well-being. Stories, perspectives, and ideas on this topic will be collected during three pop-up editorial offices at the Effeness parcel point, Happy Inn Laundromat, and ORDER tattoo shop. At each location, they will address a different subtopic of well-being: pakketpunt x hechten, tattooshop x verlangen & wasserette x zoektocht. The findings will be published in three publications, which will be available in the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale.

tattooshop x verlangen

The second editorial office of mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is setting up shop for a day at ORDER tattoo shop: a place where people sit for long periods of time or wait for their turn. This is a good moment to discuss what gives life meaning in a post-capitalist system. We collect definitions of meaning, investigate whether people consider themselves meaningful, and where the desire for meaning comes from. We collect stories, thoughts, wishes, the feeling of meaning in Warmoesstraat, tips and tricks for meaning, classified ads, and historical context about the welfare economy.

Mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops, public space installations, and happenings through interactions with others. Their projects share a common focus on engaging with the environment and fostering exchanges with a diverse audience, generating new imaginaries around the contexts the projects take place in.
