Het Weekend 

Where: De School, Doctor Jan van Breemenstraat 1, 1056 AB Amsterdam

At De School’s infamous Het Weekend, there’s only one rule: You can stay for as long as you want, but in is in, and out is out. Get it? Let us explain; you need to spend your week resting, stocking up on nutrients and increasing fluid intake, because you won’t wanna leave this party. Running from Saturday to Monday, this is a non-stop dance extravaganza you’re gonna need some serious stamina for. With hot young thing Pasiphae headlining a sparkling line up of DJs, you won’t even notice the hours pass as the beats carry you through the weekend. Will you be one of the last ravers standing? 

Sunday 22nd 

Willem van Genk: WOEST Exhibition 

Where: Outsider Art Museum, Amstel 51, 1018 EJ Amsterdam 

At this dizzying journey through the work of the Netherlands most famous Outsider artist, Willem van Genk, visitors get a profound insight into his troubled, yet undisputedly genius mind. His works can be seen as frantically beautiful windows into his imagination and perception of the mad world around him. Dominated by dark themes of war, fascism, communism and mental illness, Genk’s works are a confronting reminder of the times he endured. More than this, they are a touching reflection of his own confusion, and his ability to use his boundless creativity to process this longing for meaning in a senseless world. Don’t miss your chance to see over 60 works from one of the Netherlands’ greatest twentieth-century artists, including some rare pieces which have never before been exhibited.
