Screening programme: PLOT
Line up: Josephine Sales

PLOT (2026), Josephine Sales

5-7 June 2026, LAB 111 (chapel)

Address: Arie Biemondstraat 111, Amsterdam

If I Can't Dance presents a three-day screening of PLOT (2026), a site-specific video work by artist Josephine Sales made with a camera on wheels and produced in relation to the architecture of If I Can’t Dance’s home. Filmed in a single take, the camera moves from exterior to interior to exterior, attempting not to leave the same way it came in. Departure is understood as a condition of entry. Drawing on Amsterdam’s historic rope-and-block mechanisms used to move objects in and out of buildings, the work experiments with cinematic movement through vertical transfer, traversal, and suspension. PLOT is produced in the Women’s Clinic of the former WG Hospital and projected in the chapel of its former Pathological Anatomy Lab.

Screening times:

Friday 5 June, 20:00–22:00

Saturday 6 June, 10:00–22:00

Sunday 7 June, 10:00–13:00

As part of the weekend presentation of PLOT, the publication There’s a Tunnel Under Ballybrit Business Park by curator and writer Iarlaith Ní Fheorais will be launched on Sunday 7 June (13–15hr, RSVP), with a conversation between Ní Fheorais, artist, writer and musician Rouzbeh Shadpey, and artist Josephine Sales. Both the publication There’s a Tunnel Under Ballybrit Business Park and the video PLOT are produced in the context of access: practices and habits, an artistic research programme initiated by If I Can't Dance in collaboration with Askeaton Contemporary Arts in Limerick and Bulegoa z/b in Bilbao. Access: practices and habitsis co-funded by the European Union.
