Immerse yourself in a sensory and intuitive mindfulness session, combined with music and a drawing session in Museum van de Geest. After the success of Mark to the Music during Amsterdam Dance Event, we bring this mindful art experience to Haarlem. Explore your inner world through sound and colour, using mindfulness-based techniques. 
 
This multidisciplinary art intervention is guided by Jolien Posthumus, a professional mindfulness trainer and Program Manager for Mental Health at Museum van de Geest. The beats are provided by DJ Nelly. Let yourself be taken on a personal journey with the power of electronic music and sound through a guided visual meditation. This way, you&#8217;ll enter the night with renewed energy!
Adopted by Nous&#8217;Klaer, Clone, and Phuture West: the whole of Rotterdam is already captivated by Nelly (formerly known as Nelly Dragon). In the Maasstad, she became addicted to nineties rave tunes and hardcore, and is still addicted to dark basement music, but in a deeper corner. Oh, and during the coronavirus period, she also immersed herself in ambient music for sets on radio station Operator. &#8220;Ridiculously talented!!&#8221;, says Lisa Molle (Dekmantel). &#8220;Dreamy techno, flawlessly mixed, and not afraid to surprise you by waking you up from that dream with pounding breakbeats.

&#8216;When Sunshine becomes Moonlight&#8217; is an iconic, kinetic light artwork. It is a sculpture designed as a hanging mobile and consists of ten separate, moving, reflective elements. These swirls are illuminated with special light beams, creating a dynamic play of light and shadow. The sculpture hangs in the atrium, where the reflective swirls of the mobile interact with the foyer and the light. During the day, it will capture the ever-changing daylight through the glass ceiling, and in the evening, the sculpture casts reflections of light beams into the space: &#8216;When Sunshine becomes Moonlight.&#8217;

Fever Dream 
Merging human and animal
In fairy tales, legends, and popular culture, animals often symbolize humans and are attributed with human characteristics. The exhibition &#8216;Fever Dream&#8217; focuses on the relationship between humans and animals. Contemporary artists show how humans and animals merge: intense, colorful, imaginative, and often with an ominous edge.
The starting point of the exhibition is the new, never-before-seen video artwork Beast and Feast by Prix de Rome-nominated artist Josefin Arnell. In Beast and Feast, a policewoman searches for the perfect police horse. The psychological torment she experiences during this search becomes terrifyingly real: the woman transforms into her ideal horse.
The Frans Hals Museum combines Beast and Feast with a unique mix of contemporary art that explores the relationship between humans and animals. From the malevolent fairy tale The Bird Game by Marianna Simnett and the socially critical flying elephant by Dena Yago from the rich collection of the Frans Hals Museum, to the imaginative sculptures by Mamali Shafahi and the dreamy paintings by Donglai Meng, as well as exceptional works by Jeroen Eisinga, Jana Euler, Valentina Gal, Hadrien Gérenton, Juliana Huxtable &amp; Hannah Black, Marc Mulders, Markus Selg, and Luuk Wilmering. With this imaginative journey of an exhibition, the Frans Hals Museum invites visitors to dream with their eyes open.

Dive into the electrifying universe of Nymed, an emerging force in Berlin&#8217;s scene. Nymed&#8217;s musical journey as a DJ began in 2016, exploring the realms of ghetto tech and various types of house. It wasn&#8217;t until 2018 that he ventured into music production, eventually culminating in the release of his debut EP on E-Missions Recordings in 2023. Although Nymed has solidified his presence in the techno scene, his roots trace back to house music. Originating as such a DJ, he curated his own parties, showcasing the diverse spectrum from deep over ravey to hipper sounds of the Chicago-born subculture. Influenced by the vibrant events of Paris queer community, where Nymed found his new home, his transition to techno felt natural and organic. Nymed&#8217;s musical influences span the entire electronic spectrum, from the pulsating beats of hard sounds to the tranquil ambiance of chill spheres. His unique curation blends sexual tension with intricate, textured loops, creating an immersive experience, and with his preference of “funky” over “dark”, Nymed&#8217;s sound resonates with the crowd.

L’Asset: a quirky alt-artpop band from Haarlem, The Netherlands. Their music is flamboyant in its base, intense but never heavy handed and in Tessa’s clear, Britpop-type voice, that has often been compared to that of Florence + The Machine, Kate Bush and Björk you always feel a sense of urgency. Making music is her way of understanding and streamlining her emotions and the world around her: it’s her therapy. 
Singer Tessa Lamers is our Hemd van je Live guest. Offcourse she will make some fine live music and tell us all about being a performer in the Netherlands. Join us for a nice, interactive session.

Born and raised in the city of light, Eindhoven. He started a collective named “Vulgair” a little over 10 years ago. Vulgair was known for their slightly non-legal parties in abandoned warehouses and hard to find woody areas. By doing so, they creating a breeding ground for local creatives while simultaneously boosting his own DJ career in the background. He decided to leave it all by becoming a vinologist in Bordeaux. Playing clubs like iBoat with a glass of wine in his hand has shortly been a dream come true. But in the end the eclectic tropical and funky sounds within the Dutch music scene drew him back to Maastricht and Amsterdam where he resides today. His taste for wine reflects his musical choices ranging from fruity Zouk to the stingy sounds of Highlife and warm earthy Disco and every tannin in between.

The only queer space in Haarlem is the train to Amsterdam
For a while, queer nightlife seemed to be non-existent and unheard of in Haarlem. But something is cooking, and the scenario where LGBTQIA+ people don’t have to travel to Amsterdam anymore for a safe night out. During this 50 minute panel we will discuss the current state of queer nightlife, how we as a community establish safety and whether we need straight people to make sure that our spaces can stay open. Come on by at Teylers Museum and join our conversation.
Panel: Rick Busscher (Stichting art. 1), Aynouk Tan (Queer is not a manifesto) and Myles van der Jagt (Fuck the Cistem) and more TBA.

By embracing all evil, suffering, nightmares, and destruction, Collective The Paradise hopes to rediscover light in dissolution. Shrouded in darkness, they strive to reinvent humanity. Despite becoming experts in beautifying their world with interior designers, Instagram campaigns, and skincare routines in 2023, within each of us lies imperfect rawness, darkness, the complaining and bile-spewing human with a hot core full of pain and decay. Yet, the volcano&#8217;s ash is ultimately the most fertile, so we confront the fiery beast and dig through the earth&#8217;s crust, seeking HELL.
We enter the core that begins to rot, mold, stink, and decay, from which the grimmest ash gives birth to a new seed.
A raw, visual, cinematic performance where various figures emerge. We drag visitors from disgust to amazement, but also initiate the first glimmer of hope.

As a DJ, she’s a fixture, noted for her eclectic yet focused selections able to simultaneously blend in and stand out on a wide range of lineups, unperturbed by genre or scene constraints. As a producer, she is rapidly making a name for herself as a purveyor of thoughtfully multifaceted music that finds life on, and increasingly, beyond the dancefloor.

L’Asset: a quirky alt-artpop band from Haarlem, The Netherlands. Their music is flamboyant in its base, intense but never heavy handed and in Tessa’s clear, Britpop-type voice, that has often been compared to that of Florence + The Machine, Kate Bush and Björk you always feel a sense of urgency. Making music is her way of understanding and streamlining her emotions and the world around her: it’s her therapy.
L’Asset is the band formed around singer, songwriter, and producer Tessa Lamers. The name makes them one, yet they’re modular in form. With powerhouse musicians Alex Haak (guitar), Max Coenders (drums) and Dillan Sondervan (synths, live electronics) they create and ecclectic sound that immediately pulls you in.
Grooving synthbasses, out-of-the-box rhythms, powerful yet shimmering guitarhooks with sparks of shredding are combined with 80’s inspired synths that don’t shy away from the big pop-atmosheres. Their songs can be seen as the ultimate anthems for chaos, quirkiness and self-love and the constant desire for adventure, buzz and reinvention.

A fun riddle: what do sperm cells, bread, a lactose-intolerant cowboy, and intestines have in common? On stage, kboy &amp; De Goedzo Jongens have all experienced them! This childish-post-punk band is a big fan of the Garden, Cake, B-52&#8217;s, Kleenex, and Shannon and the Clams, but some say their music sounds more like Britney Spears in clogs.

Boyan Montero refers to their new piece as a collection of material remains of desires, blurring the line between center and periphery, inside and outside. By filling De Kleine Zaal with seemingly random objects such as children’s toys, drawings, and family photos, Montero’s installation revolves around the concept of a child constructing their world as a game. &#8216;Little Red Riding Hood&#8217; is an iteration of their piece &#8216;Love Is In The Air Burning Frog,&#8217; incorporating drawings, text, family photos, and found objects that the artist has accumulated over the year —some collected specifically for the occasion of the Boring Festival.

The motherland is a dream. Mountainous, hidden in fog with grumbling sulfur bubbling up from her hot springs.
Especially for Boring Festival 2024 Frances Rompas exhibits an experimental film/video-installation that showcases a fragmented mind. Past, present and longing. Belonging? Cut with the real and the unreal. Synthetics versus the natural landscape. Stop. Go. Return. Scored with 1970’s synthesisers and distant exotics. Freeze. Insert smoke machine.
Set in Teylers Museum this video work gains an extra layer of consequence. Within the tradition of enlightenment, world-explorations and the urge to collect objects and phenomena, to understand more of the world we live in, Frances Rompas decolonises the origin myth of her Indonesian tribe.
The video’s biographical starting point takes the visitor from the internal world of the maker through a search for history. Hoping to conclude with an universal longing for a deep connection with ancestors, nature and natural sites. Genius loci.
About the artist: 
Frances Rompas is visual artist, filmmaker and DJ. Her art projects have an essayistic nature and often involve artistic research. She sees video’s ability of including emotion into knowledge is essential to unravel complex issues. Bringing people together in a physical space to collectively walk an emotional pathway is her way of coping with today, and to activate social cohesion.
Her presentation at Teyler’s Museum is part of the development of “Toko Waar Is Thuis” supported by NL Film Fund. Artistic research for this work has been supported by <a title="" href="https://talent.stimuleringsfonds.nl/en/frances_rompas">Stimuleringsfonds voor de Creatieve Industrie</a> and <a title="" href="https://kfhein.nl/uitgelicht/reisstipendium-blog-1-frances-rompas">K.F.

What if we treat robots as soulless machines? In this lilac colored atmospheric performance, three robots serve human customers behind a door. Collective WYF makes wild use of self-composed techno tracks, grim electronic soundscapes and hard beats. In MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN, WYF uses dry humor to show an absurd situation involving the struggling sex robot that serves humans on autopilot. What will it do to us if we can hire and use willing look-alikes in the future?

Through moving limbs, risk taking, yet vulnerable physicalities and techno, four bodies will take you on a clubbing journey into pleasure and intimacy, by removing the shame and taboos that often follow sexuality, and inviting you to shed your own assumptions on what intimacy can be and look like.

Dutch producer and multi-disciplinary artist, Yannick Verhoeven, has spent years refining his craft in the music industry. Whether it be as part of the music collective: Cairo Liberation Front, or founding his own festival called Eurabia, he’s proved himself to be visionary in alternative dance music and honing an ability to find hidden talents across the Middle East and Africa. Now, under his Ramses3000 solo alias, the artist is set to release his debut album Nadja – named after André Breton’s iconic novel centred around the French surrealist movement.
The book’s impact on the artist comes from its description of surrealism as a way of life. Constantly blurring the lines between dream and reality, Verhoeven found a world in which his creative endeavours can call home. With this project his ambition was to let go of all expectations and ideas and see where such an improvised approach would lead to. And so the album was born – placing the artist’s love for art, travel, and collaboration at its core.

Their common fondness for slick digital synths and 90s underground dance music genres brought them together to submerge in symbiotic jams during the very first lockdown in 2020.After a bunch of very successful under-the-radar concerts, they recorded an album in the summer of 2021 that was released in the spring of 2022.
&nbsp;
Their gently disturbed mashup of 90s dance music genres like Chicago juke, Detroit techno, UK-Funky, Classic rave with corny jazz fusion and mundane jazz improv brings you to a pleasantly disturbed realm of unguilty pleasures, sheer weirdness and pure excitement. 
‘Post Nudism Rave’ they call it. Others call it ‘free rave’, ’confusi-trance’ and ’sophisti-rave’. 
A  shiny 3D pixie fantasyland juxtaposed with a gritty dark smokey underworld of slimy aliens and smelly trolls.
 
You&#8217;ll be experiencing the quantum thrills of interplanetary ambient drones, sweet drumming frenzy, pulpy saccharine melodies, mushy basslines, all gently weaved into raw sweat-drippy dance music. Get (half) nude and dance!

During the lipsync parts, he becomes his mother as he lipsyncs to dramatic pop songs that tell her life story. In Indie’s own words: “I believe that when you are ready to laugh about your trauma, is when you’ve started healing it. That&#8217;s how I know I&#8217;m finally ready to tell you a story about me and my mother. The full story with all its highs and lows&#8221;.
