‘Cruising’ explores the heteronormative standards imposed on the design field. How does the new garde of designers question the norms and canons? How do they utilise discomfort as a tool to challenge the underlying ideologies which have dominated the field to date?

Using the mediums of video and painting, the solo show by Lithuanian artist Paulius Šliaupa is a poetic exploration of the borders between the real and generated urban environments, the fluctuating relationship of humankind with nature, within the flow of natural and artificial lights.
Opening 3 September until 13 November
Soundtrack for a Troubled Time

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Cally Spooner's two-channel sound installation. “Soundtrack for a Troubled Time” enters the realm of collective turmoil and the individual desire to escape from it, creating a delicate balance between fiction and reality while searching for a position that is comfortable.
These each evoke a deeper awareness of the unseen interplay of natural forces that surrounds us, and in these spaces, the works meander and find their place naturally. The show will open on 12 March 2022 and runs until 22 May 2022.

Our inaugural art exhibition highlighted the Huidenclub’s mission to research how art can have a political and social significance at its own scale. The show investigated different ways artists are creating and shaping new social norms. How to clear a path and make your voice heard within the current power structures in place gender and ecological justice. Spread across the rest of the building, recent works from our future residents and commissioned furniture designers were displayed to highlight how the Huidenclub organically grows as a community.
