A solo exhibition
for Children and Adults
by Mercedes Azpilicueta

Exhibition
13.09–23.11.2025

Embracing child-friendly environments means rethinking what behaviour is considered acceptable in cultural spaces. We have been thinking about this recently with artist Mercedes Azpilicueta who will be employing her sculptures as characters and composite costumes for children as well as building a sensory experience where children and adults can experience play as an act of invention rather than mere imitation.

Talk by Saba Innab

Event
29.10.2025, 17:30–19:00

This talk by Saba Innab is constructed around two imaginaries: the imaginary of the museum as a “coloniser”, and the imaginary of the land as a source of incessant knowledge that resists its demise and appropriation. Using the vertical section of a typical Palestinian peasant house as a starting point, The talk reveals multiple layers and interpretations of know-how embedded in place, as well as the possibilities for anti-colonial resistance that this knowledge harbours.

de Appel is happy to invite you to a second series of Archive Hours: three archiving workshops facilitated by Mariana Lanari, Nell Donkers and invited guest speakers: Melisa Cenik, Janou Munnik, Ami Clarke and Lozana Rossenova. In these stand-alone workshops we share archiving methods with fellow artists, researchers and archivists working within cultural institutions, community spaces, social movements, artist archives and research archives.

The Broken Pitcher

Exhibition
20.12.2025–20.03.2026

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.
