After that Oili from Radical Cross Stitch will give a workshop on how to repair clothes in a free way: 'Visibly Pathed' - in the spirit of anti-perfectionist. In addition to that, she will start another work as an example, where an abandoned soft toy undergoes a transformation into a soft protest.

WELKOM! (english below)
Vanaf 16 juni opent Wasserette De Printer feestelijk haar deuren en transformeert galerie SIGN een maand lang tot gratis wasserette in een fluctuerende setting. Alle vuile was is welkom, maar let wel; alleen wassen op eigen risico. Welk wasprogramma ga jij volgen?
De wasserette is een samenwerking tussen Jorien Ketelaar, Laureen Langkamp en Floor van Meeuwen die d.m.v. eigen publicaties op de leestafel, dynamische installaties en workshops in de wasserette een tijdelijk platform neerzetten voor iedereen uit de buurt zonder en met wasmachine om hun was te komen doen. Via lokale wifi-infrastructuur, strijkmeditaties, een eco-wasprogramma en interactieve inrichting wordt de wachttijd een full experience waarin je niet alleen was draait, maar ook deelneemt aan een wasprogramma naar keuze. Wasserette de Printer biedt verschillende wekelijkse programma’s met workshops en lezingen, en heeft tegelijk een vast wasprogramma dat altijd kan worden gevolgd. Dit alles wordt afgesloten met een finissage op 15 juli.
WELCOME!
From 16th of June onwards, Laundromat De Printer will festively open its doors and transform gallery SIGN into a free laundrette in a fluctuating setting for a month. All dirty laundry is welcome, but please note; only wash at your own risk. Which washing programme will you follow?
This project is a collaboration between Jorien Ketelaar, Laureen Langkamp and Floor van Meeuwen who, by means of their own publications on the reading table, dynamic installations and workshops in the laundrette, have created a temporary platform for everyone in the neighbourhood without and with a washing machine to come and do their laundry. Through local wifi-infrastructure, ironing meditations, an eco-laundry programme and interactive furnishing, the waiting time becomes a full on experience in which you not only wash but also participate in a laundry programme of your choice. Wasserette de Printer offers various weekly programmes with workshops and lectures, as well as a fixed washing programme that can be followed at any time. All this will be concluded with a finissage on 15th of July.
THINGS TO READ / EVENT LOG:
Publication
During the one month launderette service we collected drawings and writings from the typewriters of the various visitors that passed by. This we assembled in a silkscreened publication and is for sale. €15,- contact us for a copy.
Workshop tie-dye by Jantine Schulp
All sorts of clothing were dyed during this workshop. Above you see some underpants and a spiral folded bed sheet. Different techniques were used to create all sorts of patterns. At the moment the drying room is an exhibiton with all the tye-dyed clothing. If you see one of the Wasserette employers with dirty looking hands, it is because of the strong pigments/ colorants used to dye the fabrics.
01-07-22 Eclectic netwerkborrel with cocktailbar
To create a meeting platform we hosted an eclectic netwerkborrel. We served several cocktails in glasses bought at mama mini. We served cocktails, DJ Makundu, embroidery, washing experience, sangria, screenprint, DJ Steamy Stef, publications, couscous salad & DJ Duo Freschar 🍸
We might organize another eclectic event soon, but we know for sure some musical performative acts will return at our finnisage on the 15th of July.
