Irma Boom visits Het Nieuwe Instituut on the occassion of her new publication Irma Boom: Book Manifest. Boom, who is described by Eye Magazine as "the queen of books" has created over 500 books and will, aside from presenting her newest work, go into conversation with Team Thursday, a young graphic design studio based in Rotterdam consisting out of Simone Trum and Loes van Esch. Together they discuss the design process, the book as an object and the value of archiving your work.

9–11pm: Music by DJ Hugo Out (Drinks & dance, Free)

To close off the evening DJ Hugo Out will play in Het Nieuwe Café, located on the ground floor of Het Nieuwe Instituut. Combining new-school electronic styles with old-school sounds is what defines Hugo Out's sets. Preferably using vinyl only, he transforms multiple genres into coherent sets that aims at comforting and educating people with new sounds. He also collaborates with others under his label A Project By Principle.
