Foam x Stenen Hoofd: Marcel Veldman – La Fluff
Foam x Stenen Hoofd: Marcel Veldman – La Fluff
In collaboration with ADE, Foam presents La Fluff by Marcel Veldman in Amsterdam's Stenen Hoofd. The exhibition demonstrates the blurred lines between skateboard culture, art, and urban space through a large-scale installation.
Fluff, a publication by Marcel Veldman that defies the conventional definition of a magazine, finds itself in a place where skating is impossible. This paradox—the skater in their so-called natural habitat— captures the essence of Fluff and its connection to skate culture. This installation marks the largest edition of Fluff to date, presented through stacked containers that reflect how skaters reinterpret and reclaim urban spaces. It highlights skateboarding’s ability to breathe new life into both the physical and social fabric of the city, challenging norms in the process.
Dates: 17 October until 17 November 2024.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
