Please join us for a golden afternoon garden party this Saturday in the KW courtyard. I (@pansypresents) have pulled together my favorite drag performers, DJs, musicians, and restauranteurs to give you a late summer soirée you’ll not soon forget. There will be no schedule posted, so come early, stay late, and be surprised all evening long. Attending in drag is highly encouraged, as is bringing your children...but please keep in mind there will be adult themes in the show and we will not be censoring ourselves. Tickets are 10€ (link in bio) including access to the exhibitions until 19h. See you in the sunshine! XOXO- PANSY #kwinstituteforcontemporaryart

Brief reminder for today's event: Networks as Structural Models for Art will set the scenario to discuss the idea of "networks" as a counter-cultural momentum and a concept to think about new forms of agency.

1 - The Making of Cassavetes' Husbands

Today's sneak peek reveals the story behind the title of our upcoming exhibition ’The Making of Husbands: Christina Ramberg in Dialogue.’ The title stems from a BBC documentary of the same name that traced the making of John Cassavetes’ 1970 film ’Husbands,’ picking up on Cassavetes’ interest in the construction of semi-improvised behavioral and gender performances and complicating these through the meta-level of the documentary, which attempts to record the supposed “natural” behavior behind the scenes on set. Join us for the Opening: The Making of Husbands: Christina Ramberg in Dialogue on September 13, at 7 pm!
