Come join ‘Reference Roulette’ on April 16 from 19:30 at Tique. For this event, Nik Naudts shuffles through the books behind his card game ‘Wiggle Room’.

Wiggle Room invites you to explore the boundaries of your living environment — physically, mentally, and emotionally. The game consists of 13 themed suites, 54 cards in total, including two jokers. Each card contains a simple instruction that invites you to let go of habits, sharpen your senses, and make room for encounters.

Using the brick-textured backs of the cards, you can build a wall — and then dismantle it again, brick by brick. Or play a regular card game: quartets, memory… or — why not? — construct your own house of cards.

Part of Between Old Habits and New Habitats — a research project by Nik Naudts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts) from 2023 to 2025 — Wiggle Room gently reclaims space through small deviations in increasingly standardized and regulated environments.
