Wie We Welzijn (3x edition of 800, riso printed)

During the Warmoes Biënnale, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl talked with waiting customers and passers-by about well-being. Where does this issue stand in Amsterdam’s city center? What factors influence it? Stories, perspectives, and ideas on this topic were collected during three pop-up editorial offices at Effeness parcel point, Happy Inn Laundromat, and ORDER tattoo shop. At each location, we addressed a different subtopic of well-being: parcel point x attachment, tattoo shop x desire, and laundromat x search. The findings were published in three publications, which were available to be picked up or read while waiting at the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale.

In the editorial office and in the publications, we explored how we can look at our surroundings differently while waiting. The Warmoesstraat and its surroundings are a playground for imagining new ways of being and other uses for space beyond the functional. The editorial offices and publications are places where we look at things differently, question our surroundings, search for something that is not there, and create our own imaginings.

For the parcel point, tattoo shop and laundromat we made sculptural racks to hold the publications and some site specific elements.
