Jij kijkt toch ook veel liever naar VISTRANSPLOFT dan naar al die emo-shit, kutspelletjes of 0900-commercials? Voor reflectie, wendt u zich trouwens tot de firma Libresse, van wie ik gisterenavond (in de pauze van Undercover Lover) de volgende stelling voor mijn kiezen kreeg:
Some thirteen years ago Victor Vroegindeweij and Oscar ‘Ruud’ Disco were a Rotterdam Terror Duo video taping everything they could within the time they had outside their official bedtime, including flatlining friends and the Rotterdam incrowd at gallery artshow openings. Apart from this the two youths came up with ideas for art shows themselves, were both hilariously portrayed in the Ben Phone Book and were quite known for all kinds of jokes and the inventing of legendary things that would never actually take place, bands that would not really exist and so on.
Victor grew up to become an actual tv and film maker and Oscar, I think, studies production design at the Film Academy and still is a character (after a brief period of being called Keesie Kamikaze and Mirodrag Pavlovic, he is now called ‘Spandex Mutilator’). Time seperated our two heroes, one of the two now lives in Amsterdam and the other stayed here in the mighty city of Rotterdam.
Tonight they will be reunited on the Barbosa Victor film night. Ivan Barbosa and Victor
Vroegindeweij will be showing their latest cinematic adventures, Oscar Disco (completely in style not on the flyer) will be playing some records afterwards together with Mike Latina and Mietze B of the Drunken Lion SS and myself, the Black Dog AKA Homey Universalis. Come and join us for party at:
ZAAL DE UNIE, Mauritsweg 34, entrance without flyer: TWO EUROS!!!
Linotype is a company that creates typefaces. One of their most known fonts is Helvetica, created by one Max Miedinger in 1957. In an earlier post we already discussed its fiftieth birthday. Now through Suzanne Allewelt I learned about the Linotype ‘50 years of Helvetica’ poster design competition which had been turned into an assignment in her typography class. I joined the contest and came up with this. I know, it’s ok, but I guess it ain’t no prizewinner. In my search for nice entries, I came upon not one, but two HuMobisten logos. Pretty bizarre, I’d say. That and two posters on Nikola Tesla…
The one I think beats the hell out of all the other posters, is the ‘even though you’re fifty…’ poster as displayed above here. The fact that Suusje made that one apparently says something about her special liking for old, grumpy men. Besides that it also looks rad. Good job, baby! Anyway, if I were you I’d vote for this.
Vanavond op Het Lezersfeest in de Rotterdamse Bibliotheek (bij wie ik nog honderd euro ‘rood sta’) draag ik voor uit eigen werk. En wel het gloednieuwe werkje getiteld ‘Een halve aap’, over de adoratie die jaloezie heet, Jan Wolkers, tunnelvisie en cultuur ontsnappen in natuur. Dat wordt lachen, gieren, brullen, neuken! (streep door wat, enz…). Ik begin vroeg (rond 20.00) op het strips/crimejazz podium. Dus kom z.s.m.!
