Bermuda Open is an artist-run initiative that provides an opportunity to explore contemporary art in The Hague by showcasing over 70 artists' studios in 12 locations throughout the city center. The event is aimed at promoting a new generation of artists, makers, and cultural workers. The name"Bermuda" is inspired by the triangle shape formed by the three streets and studios that initiated the project in 2021.

EN Following our previous “Ticker Tape”-project, NICC has decided to launch another open call for creatives to participate during Antwerp Art Weekend. In 2021, Cel Crabeels (former board member NICC) introduced the ticker tape as a means of exploring other networks, methods, channels, and visual strategies to connect art and artists with the public. This year we want to further explore this unconventional yet interesting medium.
For 25 years, NICC has fought to better the socio-economical position of visual artists in Belgium. By raising awareness, opening up dialogues, and actively promoting young artists, this artist-run organization tackles the framework within which the artistic practice takes place to change it for the better.
In 2023, NICC is participating in Antwerp Art Weekend again, with two ticker tapes installed in two different locations (Albert Heijn Groenplaats and De Studio).
In essence, NICC invited artists to reflect on the socio-political hazard they have to navigate these days, and to vocalize their thoughts (in any way that feels comfortable) for the public to read. The idea is that the artists get to vent their thoughts by presenting these (concise) bodies of text on the ticker tapes placed at the two aforementioned locations, as well as on social media and the website of NICC. Following Antwerp Art Weekend, the TickerTape-Parade will travel on to Brussels and Athens.
In doing so, we hope to transform the ticker tape machine — which was originally used to transfer text remotely to a printing device — into an autonomous artistic medium to help connect with a diverse public.
We are very excited about this year’s edition!

TOUCH ME has asked 51 artists to combat, ridicule and pacify the
Covid-induced stunting of the sense of touch by physically interacting with
their own artworks. Uncovering a wide variety of relationships between artist
and creation, the works on show demonstrate performative potential, tone and haptics
while digitally catering to the also touch-deprived viewer of 2020.
Digital exhibition launch:

On behalf of their second anniversary in July 2020, Yoyogipartyspace (Tokyo) invited artists online to make an installation in a park or garden. My contribution is a garden installation called ‘Day of the God of Fool’s Gold’.
My installation ‘Houseparty’ is part of Solo Show Chapter 3.2 ‘Everything must be rendered perfectly’

It is curated by Underground Flower in partnership with Harlesden High Street and Rhizome Parking Garage.
