Morning Love at De School

Under the artistic direction of curator Femke Dekker and Sandberg alumni Laure Jaffuel and Leila Arenou, the Sandberg was involved in staging interventions and performances during Het Weekend at renowned club De School. Het Weekend is a bimonthly event that lasts for 32 hours. 

Dealing with the notion of club culture and late-night parties, this collaboration between De School and the Sandberg Instituut questions the notion of a party as a space where everything is possible and where the rules of the outside world are challenged. The existential dimension of the contemporary social gathering, underpinned by techno beats, is urgently and immediately inscribed in us. But we now live in an era where the informal and joyous modality of the party became institutionalised. 

The club functions as a structure, with its own rules, language, codes, spirit. Beyond a venue, it becomes a social institution, officialiing the ecstatic place of the party in society, facilitating a community of experience. 

Addressing the specific context of the club and how to connect with this specific type of crowd and space, we will embrace the party format as a privileged moment to make things public. And all night long, we will dance.
