Celebrating WORM’s 25th birthday, the Wunderbar windows will showcase works by three artists, who outside of their practices, have contributed with their creativity also from behind the bar.
Through their drawings, miniature sculptures, paintings and interventions, what was hidden shall now be revealed. Did you know what the bartender has been not-so-secretely doodling behind the counter? Maybe another one will share her research on how often pigeons defecate? How much can we identify with these creatures, who are opportunistic omnivores? Do you think the night shift employees dream of electrical insects?
Multiple questions have circulated the Boomgaardstraat building in recent years and there are many more to appear. But fear not, dear visitor, for we believe that hiding the answers ruins intimacy and seeking them is enough to express love. That is why WORM 25’ edition of the bar displays are an invitation to all the inside jokes that are yet to be made.
////ABOUT THE ARTISTS////
Nina Neczliova embraces silliness, multi-colour palette, and visuals of flowers and boxes as repeating elements in her work which characterize her as an illustrator with drawing obsessions. The infatuation with repetitiveness is a method through which she likes to explore and visually experiment with topics (such as pigeons) more in depth. Whether her work reflects her daily mix of thoughts or observations around her, you will always find them coded in a colourful composition of different elements spreading throughout the whole page. She also likes to hack the space with 3D objects often for activist purposes, such as with her letter costumes for March for Schieblock or a kiosk stand installation commenting on effects of gentrification on culture in Rotterdam.

Agata Sznurkowska was born in Gdańsk, Poland. A bad sleeper, yet a good dreamer— she is interested in facts, fun and a combination of these. These identities become crystalised in her installations, objects, sounds and moving image works.
Through her practice, Agata aims to navigate the absurdities of globalized, late capitalist reality, exploring the contrast between internalized suspicion towards positivity and the urge for hope and resolution. Employing a combination of analogue and digital image making methods, she seeks to relate to the outside world departing from the innate desire for warmth while maintaining critical distance.
