Daria Kiseleva, Remco Torenbosch and duo Alice Wong & Simo Tse each present a new media work for this third edition of Open Archive, based on the open digital collections of Sound and Vision, Het Nieuwe Instituut, and the International Institute of Social History. New stories have arisen from this heritage: about a Cantonese radio programme for Chinese immigrants; about the way in which imagination manifests itself in archive images of social movements and carnival celebrations; and about the origins of the communist party in Indonesia.

How much energy do we have and need today? This question opens The Energy Show – Sun, Solar and Human Power, an exhibition that can be seen from 3 September 2022 through 5 March 2023 at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam. The exhibition, put together by curator and designer Matylda Krzykowski and in collaboration with The Solar Biennale, revolves around the sun and its design possibilities. It reflects on visitors’ personal energy levels, features dozens of examples of innovative solar technology, and poses the key question: what would the world look like if it ran on solar energy?

Sonneveld House is one of the best-preserved houses in the Dutch Functionalist style. The architects designed a total concept in which architecture, interior and furnishings are perfectly coordinated and reinforce one another.

An ode to nature and the conscious practice of being in the moment, This Too Shall Pass is a personal project by photographer Rein Kooyman.
