DE ULTIEME SELFIE – ON IDENTITY, CONNECTION, AND COMMUNITY
NDSM XPO XVIII

Following the compelling trilogy Selfie van de Ziel, De Ultieme Selfie brings the series to its conclusion. This participatory group exhibition reunites fourteen artists who previously created individual presentations as part of Selfie of the Soul. This time, each artist presents their ultieme Selfie.
At a time when identity is increasingly shaped by judgment, expectations, and social pressure, De Ultieme Selfie explores the importance of remaining true to oneself while being part of a larger community. The exhibition brings together diverse perspectives on identity, vulnerability, resilience, and belonging.
Through drawings, paintings, installations, film, photography, sculptures, and performances, the artists reveal themselves in ways that are sometimes surprising and even revealing to themselves. Their works emerge from personal fascinations, explorations of color, form, and balance, inner experiences, social issues, and significant life transitions. Together, these fourteen selfies of the soul form a collective portrait that reflects who we are and how we relate to one another.
Visitors are invited to become active participants in the exhibition. A series of interactive works poses questions such as: What makes us unique? How do we relate to others? What do we share? In this way, De Ultieme Selfie becomes a space where personal stories converge, dialogue unfolds, and new connections can emerge.
Artists Nanny Kok, Esther Kin, Baltasar Prinsen, Tiago Sá da Costa, Merel Hegenbart, Lies Aris, DH Mack, Allard Boterenbrood, Finn Moedt, Maria Escarpenter, Ossa Kierkegaard, Neyde Lantyer, Aron Vellekoop León, and Rinzo

BLUE-SERIE
HODA RADSHA
Image Hoda Radsha
Hoda Radsha's Blue Series explores the power of perseverance and personal growth. Shades of blue, water droplets, and sweat form a recurring visual language that symbolizes the physical and emotional effort required to achieve a goal. Doubt, pain, and vulnerability are presented as essential parts of the journey, ultimately becoming the foundation for resilience and transformation.
Through a compelling interplay of color, emotion, and the human body, Radsha's paintings invite viewers to reflect on their own path. The works reveal that true strength is not found in the absence of hardship, but in the courage to keep moving forward despite it.
The exhibition encourages visitors to consider their own inner strength, personal journey, and the determination required to pursue meaningful goals.

RAINBOW PRIDE
WUNDERKAMMER
Image Helena Kaori Maeda
The rainbow flag was designed in 1978 by artist Gilbert Baker and has become a symbol of diversity, pride, solidarity, hope, connection, and humanity. The original eight colors each represented a universal value: life, healing, sunlight, nature, harmony, sexuality, magic, and character. Together, they formed not a boundary, but an invitation, an image of how difference can exist within a shared foundation.
In the context of WorldPride, this iconic flag forms the point of departure for the exhibition Rainbow Pride. Both as a powerful expression of pride and as the starting point for a contemporary exploration: what do these colors and their values mean today? Are they under pressure? How are they lived, experienced, questioned, celebrated, and cherished?
The exhibition focuses on celebrating what connects us, without avoiding the complexity of acceptance. Acceptance is not an endpoint, but an ongoing process of encounter, friction, care, and making space for one another.
With this group exhibition in the Wunderkammer of NDSM FUSE, we bring the colors that connect us to life. A vibrant exhibition that honors the flag and the meaning it carries.
Artists: Kiem, Gerdavanderstok, Helena Kaori Maeda, Nadia Piet, Marjolein Annegarn, Spoko Loco, Tulika Ahuja, Finn Moedt, Mees van Zanten, Lucas Braak, Maria Escarpenter, Gabriele Bonomi, Batista Lopes, Kims Kind Creations, Cristina Iordache

DARK FOOTBALL
THE ONE MINUTES - SAMENGESTELD DOOR XANDER KARSKENS
Video still, One Minute Elections
During the UEFA European Championship 2016, curator and football lover Xander Karskens invited artists and filmmakers to create their own football One Minutes. This selection of 11 works, titled 'Dark Football', consists of attentive studies of movement and everyday life, and resonates again this summer during the World Cup, reflecting shifts in both football and storytelling across media over the past ten years.
A girl dives into deep snow in Ireland, imagining herself as a goalkeeper; football players move in slow motion, turning a match into a Swan Lake ballet; after heavy rain in Uganda, people work together to clear a waterlogged pitch.
Participating artists W. Bonnier, Reint Meijer, Henrik Busk, Ulla Juske, Ramon Coelho, Jeen de Vos, Lars Holdhus, Romina Salem Taborda, Gustavo Gelmini, Kato Jonan, Rob Jongbloed.
CADAVRE EXQUIS
CADAVRE EXQUIS is a continuous artwork by Rienke Enghardt. CADAVRE EXQUIS is based on a children’s game that has been played all over the world for centuries. At the start of the last century the surrealists recognized the game as an expression of art and gave it its illustrious name. CADAVRE EXQUIS playful drawings that since developed give an impression of the zeitgeist of the turbulent years between the two world wars.
At NDSM FUSE is a permanent CADAVRE EXQUIS table with paper and pencils. The collected drawings, made by more than a thousand artists and visitors, displayed on the wall next to the table give an impression of today’s zeitgeist.
