From January 26 till June 8, OSCAM presents an exhibition about the iconic hip hop café De Duivel. In addition to being a brown pub where people of all walks of life meet, De Duivel is a creative breeding ground and open stage. Since 1992 pioneers of the hip-hop scene have been connecting, collaborating and experimenting here. Think of names such as Karin Amatmoekrim, Andreas Urhahn and of course our own Marian Duff.
On the occasion of the eleventh ABN AMRO Art Award, the exhibition Pocket Rhythms with work by the current winner Mounira Al Solh is on view in the ABN AMRO Art Space. Here, Al Solh draws her inspiration from popular Arabic music from the 70s and 80s – these omnipresent tunes in war-torn Lebanon would fill gaps between news bulletins, as continuous radio sounds rose in the air from shelter to shelter. Pocket Rhythms features recent paintings full of references to popular Arabic music which she interweaves with personal memories and political events.
30 up to 31 May — ABN AMRO Art Space
