During the Open House, the weather had other plans - so the garden program had to wait. Now we're making up for it: we’re opening the garden and extending the exhibition with an intense afternoon and evening. Expect a finissage, extended gallery hours, performances, a live sound ritual, and community moments - all finally in good weather, on the threshold of summer. Let the aqb garden be your final stop on Museum Night!

Nathalie BRUM: Resonances of the Liminal
@ Garden pavilion
live sound performance, 60 min

There is a moment—quiet, suspended—when something is no longer what it was, and not yet what it will become. That is the Liminal.
In Resonances of the Liminal, Nathalie Brum explores this in-between state through sound. Set within the charged atmosphere of a pavilion in a garden, the performance inhabits a space of transition and ritual: the sound of coffee beans, no longer a fruit, not yet a drink; the people gathered, no longer strangers, not quite familiar.
Mechanical sounds, low-frequency recordings, and technical jargon create a blend of melancholy and ecstasy. Her voice adds a human element to her subversive ambient sound.
This is not a concert, but a constant flow spreading its acoustic aroma across the garden.

9 pm - 10 pm
Eszter NAGY - Beáta SZABÓ: Wishing Well @ Garden

10 pm - 11pm
Zsófia Tamara VADAS: Crater @ Atrium
