Opening celebrations Wednesday 29 April 6 - 8pm.

This month in Gallery 1: ‘again’, an exhibition by Martina Beka.

'again' is an extension of Martina Beka’s solo exhibition, 'what if i forget'. Featuring materials that carry the accumulated wear and debris from her previous installation, this reiteration investigates memory, perfectionism, cleanliness and wear through materiality and the traces of human interaction. New aluminium sheets clad the gallery walls, while previously used sheets are relocated to the gallery floor, registering a shift between what was and what now is. Photographic works are presented alongside these surfaces, still holding magnet and dirt marks from their previous installation site.

The gallery becomes a site of shared experience, where audiences are invited to engage with the work – whether accidental or intentional, gentle or disruptive – the audience becomes an active participant in shaping the work. These interactions speak to the involuntary act of letting go, where uncontrollable and inevitable shifts of the material, resemble personal processes and experiences beyond control.

29 April - 23 May.

Opening celebration 29 April, 6-8pm.

This month at BUS Projects in the project space: Rasak Akorede, ‘FR:QNCY: - Reimagining Urban Soundscapes’.

‘FR:QNCY – Reimagining Urban Soundscapes’ is an immersive installation that explores how the sounds of cities shape perception, emotion, and identity. The work brings together field recordings from Lagos, Malmö, and Melbourne (Live Recording), transforming them into an interactive listening experience. The installation is driven by computer vision. FR:QNCY invites audiences to listen more closely to their surroundings and to consider how sound connects people across different places. It positions listening as both a personal and collective act, where presence, movement, and environment continuously shape each other.

29 April - 23 May.

Opening celebration Wednesday 25 March 6-8pm.

This month in the Project Space is ‘Pagoda Jent, an exhibition by Jent Do.

Jent Do introduces ‘Pagoda Jent’, featuring the recent body of works of ‘Planet Jent’, a digitally constructed utopia that bleeds into the physical realm, subtly taking form of a Vietnamese pagoda.

Do’s works present the convergent point of Vietnamese traditional decorative ornamentations and subcultural internet art, as both are maximalist and highly saturated. Their practice resonates on the glitch, something erroneous as categorized by the mainstream system, and hence employs generative methods such as creative coding, 3D, and AI hallucination to conjure grotesque images from source images related to their personal identity as a Vietnamese non-binary immigrant in a first-world country.

25 Mar - 18 Apr.

Opening celebration Wednesday 25 March 6-8pm.

This month in Gallery 1 is ‘Championship Point’, an exhibition by Molly Dalziell & Daniel Collins.

‘Championship Point’ is a collaboration between Molly Dalziell and Daniel Collins that brings their practices into dialogue through the paradox of a shared game. The title derives from tennis: the decisive point where a ‘champion’ is declared. The absurdity of its dominating power to define the outcome of a match. To be the covergirl of performing a game’s logic. The exhibition merges and plays with both artists’ practices through the conditions of a game: playing on the same team while working in opposition, mirroring the duality of practising and playing. A shared nostalgia for playing and watching sports: the uniform that comes with it, the choreographic and spatial intervention that follows.

25 Mar - 18 Apr.

The flags of West Papua and Maluku currently hang at Bus Projects, drawing attention to the ongoing and severely underrepresented issues faced by West Papuans and Moluccans. Besides them is a handout available that has been kindly offered by Amsterdam-based artist and researcher, Finn kaino Maätita ( @__kaino_ ), from their ongoing research regarding the revitalisation of Moluccan languages.

The exhibition ‘Pule’ speaks directly to Fa’a Sāmoa, but also carries wider geographical connotations. This is because as Oceanians, we are not only formed by continual connection to our ancestral lands for thousands of years, but by the Great Ocean that unites us and has always been our avenue of exchange. It was only after arriving in the Netherlands to study my masters that I learnt it has the largest Oceanian diaspora in Europe. I make this post in honour of the Moluccans and West Papuans I have met, who have been generous in their embrace of me as a fellow Islander and from whom I continue to learn.

West Papuans have inhabited their land for at least 45,000 to 50,000 years. On 1 December 1961, the Morning Star flag was raised in West Papua, declaring independence from Dutch colonisation. In 1962, with interference from the United States of America through the ‘New York Agreement’, Indonesia illegally prevented West Papuans from self-governance. To date, an estimated 500,000 West Papuans have been murdered by Indonesia. The situation in West Papua is considered a ‘slow-motion genocide’ that continues to be silenced.

The flag of the Republic of South Maluku (RMS) has been raised every 25 April since the state was proclaimed in 1951 and has been deemed illegal by the occupying Indonesian government. Linguistically, Maluku comprises approximately 130 languages (a mix of Austronesian and Melanesian), many of which have been banned by colonisers. Nevertheless, people in Maluku and in the diaspora continue to revitalise these languages through traces found in their ancestry and on the Land itself.
