On 26 April at 14:00, two artworks in our exhibition Ageless, Ageless will change places. To mark this transfer Pam Virada and Cally Spooner will join us at Shimmer to reflect on the works in the exhibition, and what they are currently working on today.

Alongside the constellation of freshwater bodies in Slowglass (2026), Virada will welcome visitors to Shimmer with a serving of The Sea, as an introduction to a new body of water in the space.  Following a short reading by Virada, we will hold open a window to the port, a gesture by Cally Spooner titled Active Because It Leaks (2019). Spooner’s gesture of opening the window lets the port’s sounds, shifting air, and city life seep into Shimmer, turning the space into a pavilion rather than a closed off space.

This artwork will momentarily join Spooner’s sound piece, Melody’s Warm Up, in which the work will be mixed into the port. After the event, Melody’s Warm Up will depart Rotterdam, leaving behind the unpredictable symphony of the industrial port as the exhibition’s new soundtrack.

The event concludes at 16:30. The exhibition continues welcoming visitors until 18:00.

The event will be in English.
