the expanding universe of quotes

Tomorrow at the annual Rotterdam museum night, I’ll be showing a new piece at the Sara Tim Trust artistspace located at the Mauritsstraat #167. In a response to this year’s museum night theme ‘XS/XL’ Sara Tim Trust themed their night ‘Revenge of the 50 ft Artists’. They invited me to make something on their huge [...]

I never dreamed this would happen…

Who could have foreseen this… it’s beautiful and amazing (it’s even bigger than our website can handle!) and like every other thing Jimi did. Sorry for not posting for so long. It’s really really busy. I”ll be back soon with lots more on (amongst other things) my new piece showing at the Rotterdam Museum Night, [...]

second coming

The New Earth Group did it again! Coming 20th of February, they’ll be releasing their (often feared) second album called ‘Eurafricarabia’ (thru Excelsior Recordings instead of Willy Anderson this time) in Rotown Rotterdam. A second release party is to be at the Paradiso Upstairs, march 13. As is custom with T.N.E.G. ‘Eurafricarabia’ will be available [...]

‘The measure of a man is what he does with power.’ – Plato

All great works of art, whether it’s a painting, an installation, videos or films, a sculpture or a book, tv shows, poetry, dance or a theatre piece, share one thing: they are either solely, or mainly or at least in the first place about power. I especially know quite something about films and most of [...]

lijers zijn ’t!

Ik kan het toch niet onbesproken laten eigenlijk. Zonder met deze site een soort Kassa’ige richting in te slaan, wil ik graag even oproepen tot een massaal misnoegen over het nieuwe ov-chipkaart beleid. Of nou ja ‘beleid’, zeg maar de door de overheid gesteunde patstelling waarin het Nederlandse openbaar vervoer ons, makke betaalschaapjes die weer [...]

De Balken-ender

Kennen jullie die film van die robot die met de kennis die die van de toekomst heeft, terugkomt naar ‘het heden’ om korte metten te maken met de toekomst? Wat een slap geouwehoer, hè? Met de kennis die ik vandaag heb van gladde straten was ik een week geleden nooit die stoep op gelopen… Wat [...]

I’m in the Music Business!

These are five records I designed the album covers of this year. They are Choca Alazaba’s ‘Reverse Bad Energy’ / The New Earth Group Prouctions, Benjamin Herman’s ‘Blue Sky Blonde / DOX Records (which became the best selling jazz record of the year thank you very much), Sir Ian’s ‘Apathology’ / Dying Giraffe Recordings, Rosa [...]

oh was ik maar een vrouw…

My friend Marcel Wiebenga (AKA Het Baronnetje van de Dresselhuysstraat AKA De Urban Prins AKA Der Versucher AKA De Rotterdamse Bongo Koning AKA Marcel Alexander Wiebenga de Eerste AKA Marcel Guiding) lives and works in Amsterdam. Where he lives is not your business, where he works however could very well be. Sizzer is a company [...]

Olé, olé de VOC!

Het kan zijn omdat ik zelf van 28 december (en daarom zo’n gave steenbok, het beste sterrenbeeld ter wer… euh, van het universum) ben, maar ik houd dus enorm van deze dichte slootjes en besneeuwde straten, daken en bomen. Dat trams niet of niet op tijd rijden is bijzaak. Wat je verder ook nooit ziet: [...]

‘I fell in love with doing yoga.’ – Ione Skye

I’ve been doing yoga for a short while a couple years ago when suddenly my teacher had to quit and become a mother. Now, since last week I’m back in business. Took the introductory course last tuesday and dude did I stink. It wasn’t so obvious to me, I breathed badly, I couldn’t move the [...]
