Join the opening Thursday of the Moonlight Center by the Dirty Art Department, Sandberg Instituut.

Dirty Art Department

The Dirty Art Department sees itself as a space floating between art and design. Applied art is no longer art applied to industry but art that faces reality, creating situations rather than objects, fictions rather than common functionality. In WOW the Dirty Art Department will produce situations between the banal and uncanny, inspiring the “double-take” and other bodily reactions. The department uses “off” spaces and material ambiguity to achieve moments of disorientation and illusion. It exists as a paradox, implying organization and structure while playing with the ambivalence between order and chaos. Are we here to cure your troubles or to create new ones?

The Moonlight Center

The  the first year students of the Dirty Art Department will show their first year presentation at WOW: The Moonlight Center for  a few days wellness program open to guests and the public. The Center is dedicated to providing a variety of services and resources to stimulate and enhance the body, mind and spirit. Step out of your everyday life, and immerse yourself in a healing environment where bodily needs are addressed, public and private spheres collapse, and social interaction is reacquainted with physical proximity. The Center includes a discussion pool, prosperity activation stage, domestic ergonomic devices, edible radioactive plants, lessons in peace-keeping, hypnotic treatments, clairvoyant readings, and a salon. 
The benefits of our services are held to be self-evident in the guest’s willingness to experience them.
