BOMA & YUSU
Wed 21 · 08:00 · YUSU Coffee · Amsterdam
Music, fashion, art and community come together in an intimate collaboration between BOMA and Yusu Café. Throughout five days, Yusu Café will become a meeting point for creatives, artists and people from the music industry, creating a relaxed atmosphere where culture, networking and entertainment naturally intersect. The idea is to create an organic environment where people can come together, discover new sounds, exchange ideas and connect with each other. The space will feature a special curation of Brazilian and local DJs, bringing the energy and diversity of Brazil into Amsterdam while creating a dialogue with the city’s own creative scene. Music will live inside the café, becoming part of the everyday atmosphere. No big production or formal agenda. Just good music, meaningful encounters and a space where the right people can naturally meet. meet us at: Andreas Bonnstraat 2, 1091 AX Amsterdam, Netherlands
Deep Seeing Currents
Wed 21 · 09:00 · ARTIS Aquarium · Aquarium · Amsterdam
As you approach Deep Seeing Currents by Olafur Eliasson , you are slowly enveloped by darkness and the sounds of life underwater. Layers of oceanic cacophony – whale songs, rumbling of hydrothermal vents, and human-made noises, among others – surround you, while the vibrations can be felt throughout your entire body, emulating the experience of pressure in the deep sea. Above and around you, lights flash and seem to descend like the hypnotic circulation of marine snow, the organic and inorganic particles essential to life in the deep sea. The immersive sound of Deep seeing currents is brought to life by 4DSOUND . The exhibition is located inside the ARTIS Aquarium and can be visited with a valid ARTIS Park ticket. Tickets are available through the ARTIS website. Opening hours: Wed - Sun, 09:00 - 18.00

Art Expo: How Can There Be Day Without Night
Wed 21 · 10:00 · The Node North · Bunk Hotel Amsterdam · Amsterdam
The Node North will be hosting an free exposition with nightlife related art by Britta Moller from Wednesday October 20 till Sunday October 25. Britta Möller is an Amsterdam-based artist creating large-scale abstract paintings wth acrylic, mixed media and layered textures. Her work explores transformation, surrender, visibility and concealment — themes rooted in the moment her former professional world came to a sudden stop during the pandemic. Before turning to painting, Möller worked for more than twenty-five years as a graphic designer and art director. In 1998, she co-founded Maslow, an Amsterdam-based design agency working for a wide range of organisations within the cultural sector. Maslow was responsible for the art direction and visual identity of Amsterdam Dance Event from 1998 to 2020, one of the key projects that shaped Möller’s strong position within the music and nightlife industry. With a specialisation in books and magazines, she designed and produced publications connected to Dutch dance culture, including Mary Go Wild — 25 Years of Dance in the Netherlands. She later co-founded and co-owned Mary Go Wild, a platform, store and publishing house dedicated to dance culture, which produced titles including Awakenings — 20 Years of Techno, Celebrate Life — The Story of ID&T and Thunderdome — 25 Years of Hardcore. When the pandemic brought the cultural and event world to a halt, painting became a way to move through loss and transition. After decades behind a computer, large-scale painting brought her back into the body: using movement, rhythm and physical presence instead of screen-based control. In some works, Möller uses phosphorescent pigments, creating a hidden layer that appears only in darkness — a subtle reference to nightlife, and to the idea that everything carries both a light and a dark side. She works from her studio at A Lab in Amsterdam-Noord. Expo: Wed 21/10
