Boris Acket is bringing EINDER, a vast moving installation of fabric, light and sound, to Amsterdam’s Centrale Markthal during Amsterdam Dance Event. The EINDER exhibition runs from 22 to 25 October and again from 30 October to 1 November.
“Einder is the Dutch word for horizon,” Acket explains. “For the past years I’ve been making landscapes out of fabric and movement, pieces that move slowly, inviting you into their own timezone.” Two huge fabrics float and take shape in currents of artificial wind, controlled by motors and air flows yet never fully predictable. Light from the hall’s sky panels changes the work throughout the day, from soft morning light to sunset colours and dark night skies.
The soundscape comes from Djrum. The British producer and composer, real name Felix Manuel, created a bespoke score for a spatial sound system that moves with the fabric. He will also play an exclusive live concert in the final time slot on opening night, 22 October.
This is not a concert, and there is no start time. As the team puts it: “Nothing begins, nothing ends. You arrive somewhere in the middle and leave somewhere in the middle.” Visitors book a 30-minute entry slot and can stay as long as they like, lying down on cushions and yoga mats with free water provided. Tickets cost €13, or €8 with a CJP card, and children under 12 go free.
Special moments are planned too. On Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October at 21:00, choreographer Kianí del Valle, known for her work on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, performs a piece created for the installation. Further events feature the Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest, Elias Mazian and Joep Beving. It adds another highlight to an ADE programme that recently grew to more than 1,500 artists.
