Friday the 28th of May, the foundation Museumnacht Amsterdam (n8) organizes a night salon in the Historical Museum of Amsterdam. At the same time, the exhibition The Hoerengracht will be on display here. The night is all about the history and the future of the Red Light District. What did it look like in the past? And what does the future have to bring to this beloved and controversial part of the city?
In the eighties, the American artists Edward en Nancy Kienholz made a 14 meters long artwork: The Hoerengracht, which is an interpretation of the Red Light District of Amsterdam. Besides the exhibition of the artwork, the night salon also offers a program filled with music, art and film, all about seduction, paid love and the Red Light District.
As part of the music program of the evening, the duo Saelors will give an acoustic performance, surrounded by 17th century paintings in the Schuttersgalerij. The minimal music of the two is also called folk-noir. And besides that, DJ's Wannabe A Star and Martin Duvall will show their skills. By giving you a mix of pop, house, punk and disco.
The courtyard of the Historical Museum of Amsterdam changes in an outdoor cinema during the evening. There it's possible to see the short movie Caresse, made by Jim Taihuttu, about the boundaries between paid and unpaid love. And the documentary Rondom het Oudekerksplein by Roeland Kerbosch, which will give you a unique image of the Red Light District during the sixties of the past century.
Also Bojana Panevska will give a performance this evening, which will be a play about the power relations between herself and the audience. And last but not least, different artists and fashion designers will tell about their experiences with the studios they owned in the neighborhood.
