Opening hours:
07:30 - 19:00
Address:
Warmoesstraat 30
During the Warmoes Biennale, mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl will discuss well-being with waiting customers and people passing by. What is the situation in this regard in Amsterdam's city center? What factors influence well-being? Stories, perspectives, and ideas on this topic will be collected during three pop-up editorial offices at Giftshop Effeness, Happy Inn Laundromat, and ORDER Tattoos. At each location, they will address a different sub-topic of well-being: parcel point x attachment, tattoo shop x desire & laundromat x search. The findings will be published in three publications, which will be available in the participating pavilions of the Warmoes Biennale.
Mul-thee-fuhngk-shuh-nl is a collective established in 2023, consisting of Floor van Meeuwen (Rotterdam), Jorien Ketelaar (Brussels), and various others. The collective emerged from several projects in which psychogeographic methods were applied to wandering with others, challenging and reshaping existing concepts of the urban environment that shape how we interact with it. Collaboration and polyphony are fundamental to their work, stemming from a curiosity about different ways of seeing, thinking, and doing, and a search for places and ways where these can converge.
About Location
Laundromat Happy Inn is a place of waiting, repetition, and shared time. As washing machines spin and garments make their rounds, temporary encounters arise between neighbors and passersby. The laundromat is an everyday space where care, labor, and intimacy converge, and where the personal blends imperceptibly with the public.
