Tonight: Goodnight Rotterdam with Avi Krispin
For In Discretion, Avi Krispin has shown new video and photography works that touch on the theme of comical fetish behavior, anonymous meetings and prearranged perverse rituals. In line with these works, De Zwarte Ruyter has functioned as a set, where visitors had the opportunity to participate in a new video project.
During this Goodnight Rotterdam Krispin will present this new video project and also a hand of other videoworks. Be welcome!
The initiative for the Goodnightfilm has arisen by a broad and major interest in the genre Cult. Proposing an alternating and a wide ranging choice of movienights to explore the big question: What is the definition of Cult?

10000 Edelweiss
Be part of a collective art production organized by the Austrian artists collective Alpine Gothic in cooperation with Bildetage (Austria) and De Zwarte Ruyter.
The ‘carving workshop’ is open (and for free!) to anybody – we provide everything for you to carve a Edelweiss and entertain you with stories and music related to the Edelweiss.
The work 10000 Edelweiss investigates into the anachronistic myth around this Alpine flower. Questions on tourism, protection of nature and the value of art-production, as well as participation and Multiple Authorship are in the focus of our concept.
Take a simple birch twig and a knife and soon you will be able to cut the most beautiful flowers. The Edelweiss is the most precious and rare flower in the Alps. With your help we intend to produce 10000 of them to result in a huge collectively produced piece of art.
