Wobby Club Night

Wobby.club hosts Wobby Club Night along with a variety of other engaging events that serve to celebrate and launch new issues of Wobby. These dynamic and surprising events typically feature an array of performances, insightful talks, all while providing a unique opportunity for attendees to interact with the talented artists who are present.

Wobby #39 - Local Liar - 29 September at Hall of Fame Tilburg

During Wobby Wonderland 2024, DIY publishing & printed matter fair, we introduced Wobby #39, Local Liar, co-curated by FOULPLAY/SOMETIMESBAKERY, with curator and artist Caz Egelie, in the presence of some of the participating artists: Jesse Strik (NL), Ana Margarida Matos (PT), Boris de Leijer (NL), Brieke Drost (NL), Janek Koza (PL/NL), Jesse Strikwerda (NL), and Mika Schalks (NL). To celebrate the launch, Benjamin Pompe performed a piece by Caz Egelie, bringing local tales and stories to life in dynamic, bard-like performance.

The title of Wobby #39, Local Liar (Lokale leugenaar), comes from the name given to some local newspapers. Caz first learned of this term during research for a 2020 exhibition on local histories, where local newspapers shared news, fables, and myths, all competing for truth. For Wobby #39, the artists explored this theme, creating a collection of "local lies" that reach beyond their origins.

Wobby #38  – Unpave the Way - 20 June at De Pont Museum Tilburg

On the PUNCH. night at De Pont Museum, we launched Wobby #38 - Unpave the Way, with Sunflower Soup. PUNCH. is a museum event where cultural partners create engaging programs. This issue was made with guest curator Sunflower Soup, a collective that explores collaborative action through art and activism. Wobby #38 features an array of pieces that delve into themes of environmental activism, social justice, and the power of community. Sunflower Soup and Wobby held workshops with residents of Landpark Assisië, a home for people with mental disabilities near Tilburg. The workshops produced drawings featured throughout the issue.

During the event, artist Tommy Smits, who had a Wobby residency at Landpark Assisië, interviewed Sunflower Soup, cover artist/DJ Marishka Soekarna, and two residents of Landpark Assisië. Sunflower Soup also led a drawing workshop asking what participants wanted to see grow. Tommy Smits’ work from his residency was displayed.

For the Wobby Club Night, Jesse invited artists and musicians from Tilburg to join in a vibrant and experimental program, collaborating in never-before-seen crossover acts, all in celebration of love. Jesse talked with cover artist Arthur Devisscher about his inspiration and his experiences with squash.
