Warmoes Biënnale: parcel point x attachment
During the Warmoes Biënnale, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will talk to waiting customers and passers-by about well-being. Stories, perspectives, and ideas on this topic will be collected during three pop-up editorial offices at the Effeness parcel point, Happy Inn Laundromat, and ORDER tattoo shop. At each location, they will address a different subtopic of well-being: parcel point x attachment, tattoo shop x desire, and laundromat x search. The findings will be published in three publications, which will be available in the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale.
parcel point x attachment
The first editorial office for the three publications of Wie we welzijn is located at parcel point Giftshop Effeness. Here, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will discuss materialistic satisfaction in relation to Warmoesstraat as a centuries-old center for trade. While you wait for your parcel, there is just enough time for self-reflection, an existential crisis, or a mental breakdown. What did I order again?
In addition to collecting the contents of packages, we ask questions such as: do you have what you want? Where does this desire for more come from? How do we position ourselves in a world that revolves around accumulating wealth and possessions? How do your possessions possess you? We collect reviews, stories, (un)realistic classified ads for (more) stuff, the best object you can own.
Mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective that creates dynamic installations with a crossover between workshops, public space installations, and happenings through interactions with others. Their projects share a common focus on engaging with the environment and fostering exchanges with a diverse audience, generating new imaginaries around the contexts the projects take place in.
