Mijn vriendin d’r nieuwe winkeltje opent vandaag op de Zwaanshals 251a in Rotterdam (Oude Noorden achter het Kookpunt). Het is een tijdelijke locatie omdat ze wacht op de verbouwing van haar echte pand, waar ze in december samen met MOOSE artspace in zal trekken. Nu dus alleen kleding en schoenen zowel vintage en nieuw. Geen opening, die bewaart ze even voor december, maar neem hier alvast een voorproefje!

Out goes the old - In comes the new

I went to the CBS party the other day in the (new and improved) UNIE. Artists that made the party were I-f, Legowelt, mr. Pauli, Alden Tyrell, Roberto Auser, Intergalactic Gary and others.. Great atmosphere!

After five years it was done with the internet (radio)community Cybernetic Broadcasting System. But something new appears: Intergalactic FM.

In Holland he’d be called ‘Wiegman Light’

My very first day in art school (1995) started out with four hours of ‘form and space’, tutored by one Diet Wiegman of whom it was immediately clear he wasn’t like any other teacher me and the rest of my classmates had ever witnessed. First thing he taught us was ‘take a small piece of clay… roll it into a ball… stick your thumb in… turn it around and around… and… voilà! for starters each one of us now has an ashtray!’. I remember thinking that was kinda cool. Some time later our class discovered his shadow art and were pretty much all struck by its wit, beauty and genius simplicity. Now here’s a guy to open your mind in places that were never to be closed again.

Diet turned out to be another einselgängers dad, namely Mike Redman’s who just finished a ‘flick’ about his father called ‘Anagram’. Anagram opens this thursday at the Rotterdam Cinerama movie theatre. Party starts 6.30, film starts 7.30 and for a lousy three and a half euros you’re in.

world wide jokes

Zei ik een tijdje geleden nog dat Maxim H. de grappigste mensch op aarde is, ik neem het terug. Uiteraard is dat Kamagurka. Maar ik was ’m even vergeten. Kan gebeuren. Iemand die ook niet totaal ongrappig is, is Hans Teeuwen. Gelukkig hebben ze allebei eigen webruimtes, zodat we ze nu altijd kunnen zien, of ze nu willen of niet. Kamagurka is natuurlijk bij de krant en heeft daarom hier een plek die kamatube heet, Hans Teeuwen heeft zijn eigen plek en die zit hier. Kijk vooral Kama’s ‘Wilders is een amateur’ (‘dat haar met die rare man’) en van Hans ‘ik geloof niet meer in ouders’ Teeuwen is alles even leuk.

Ook o.a. om te lachen: Hausmagger’s nieuwe videoclip ‘Man in de Metro’, alhier.

See You At The Movies!

Rutger Wolfson will take his leave as director of De Vleeshal during the opening 
of the exhibitions of work by Felix Schramm en Liesbeth Labeur. After having
been with De Vleeshal for over eight years, he will now be concentrating full time 
on his new position as director of the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The HuMobisten would like to thank you for all the work we got from De Vleeshal!

Some friends at one point just disappear out of sight. And so it happened with Reinier van Velzen (left) and Richard van de Ven (right), but not before I took this awesome picture of them in Tutti Frutti Skate Hall, the Hague where they were examining a piece they just made. The year is 1993, two years after punk had broken. Memories pop up when cleaning out your studio entirely. Big up to both you guys, wherever you are.
