Blissbar

During Wereld van de Witte de With 2005, BLISS presented the Blissbar — a temporary art project exploring the boundary between art and hospitality. The bar served as an inviting space, designed as a warm retreat amidst the bustle of the festival. With comfortable seating, atmospheric lighting, and a homely interior, the Blissbar offered visitors a place to escape the crowds, meet others, and unwind.

The bar was more than just a place to grab a drink: it was a total installation where atmosphere, music, and design merged into a sensory experience. BLISS approached hospitality as an art form, inviting the audience to become part of their world — one that balanced between the everyday and the poetic. In doing so, the Blissbar became a beloved sanctuary during the festival and a subtle reminder of the power of attention and simplicity in public space. For the Blissbar, Mothership acted as curator and project coordinator.
