CaccHho CucchhA:
A solo exhibition
for Children and Adults
by Mercedes Azpilicueta
de Appel presents CaccHho CucchhA, a scenographic exhibition by Mercedes Azpilicueta that treats play as invention, disobedience, and commons making. Commissioned by de Appel, the project unfolds as an immersive ecosystem of modular sculptural costumes, play platforms and a large tapestry, activated through an ongoing series of workshops with children, families, and invited collaborators.  ↗

17.01–20.03.2026
The collaborative project The Broken Pitcher by Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Marina Christodoulidou and Peter Eramian traces the effects of financialisation and austerity by looking at the banking system and the potentials for changing the script of interacting with it. At de Appel the project takes a multi-fold formation: a one-to-one scale model of a bank room that functions both as an exhibition space and a film set.

Open Call:
Klachtenkoor
The Complaints Choir is back and looking for new voices to turn complaining into an art form. The Complaints Choir is a DIY, community art project in which singers and non-singers alike come together to sing about their complaints. Led by musician Azubike Onwuka, the choir will explore different perspectives and issues by complaining, composing and singing together. The Complaints Choir is serious and light-hearted, and makes room for both recognition and humour.
