This saturday there’s a swell party at Zaal De Unie as the ConClub throws a good one starring Panico (a wild band from Chile), Parisian DJ/musician Cosmo Vitelli, In Flagranti (New Yorkian), dutch performance artist Gabriëlle Barros Martins and the film ‘Wild Combination’ about disco avant-freak Arthur Russel. Enough reasons to show up. Limited tickets available thru the ConClub website.

campaign design (HuMobisten, 2008)
client: Int. Film Festival R’dam & Kunstgebouw
October / November 2008
We were asked (for the fourth time) by the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Kunstgebouw to design an identity for their annual educational project called ‘Meet the Maestro’. During MTM, a super talented and obstinate film director will be the focus of attention.

Check out this work (and the rest) I have made at gallery Cokkie Snoei. This is the last weekend you can see the Han Solo show. Well last weekend, I heard rumors that Cokkie is going to add another week to the show. If you still want to see it, you can. But only by appointment.

WATT
campaign design (HuMobisten, 2008)

We were invited by WATT (Rotterdam) to be in a pitch (and the HuMobisten won the damn thing!), for making a new campaign for the saturday evening clubnights. These are the first flyers and posters for the LaLaLand and WATT’S HAPPENING? clubnights. Coming more soon…!

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!

Han Solo
Gravitation is a property by which all objects attract each other.
From 12 October until 9 November I will present Han Solo at Cokkie Snoei. It is my first solo exhibition since founding the HuMobisten in 2000. This show features work consisting of photographs, objects, installations and a video focusing on ‘falling and letting go’.
‘Han Solo’ is the classic example of the adventurer with the golden heart in the movie Star Wars. In Han’s personality virtues like courage and companionship are combined with vices like cupidity and debauchery.
Opening reception: Sunday 12 October 16:00 - 18:00
The exhibition will be officially opened at 16:30 by Ari Versluis.
Following the opening, the after party will erupt in Café De Unie at 18:00.
Full of surprise acts, the ‘Han Solo’ room guarantees in-your-face Roccalberti, Dandy Dave!, David Vunk and all the way from Paris: Ben et Béné.

Upcoming shows to go see are:
1. Tomorrow The Night Marchers play the waterfront
2. The day after, Fata ‘El Moustache’ Morgana (with basically all Mees’ men as members) & Eva Braun play the OT301 (cd release party for both bands)
Suus and me were asked to do the Eva Braun artwork and it turned out the thing you can see right above this here picture of Eva Braun herself. Pretty nifty huh? We took Eva Braun’s picture and turned her into someone quite new (and quite old). Just as the band has. Also please observe the typeface Suus designed! If that ain’t fresh, I don’t know what is. Too bad the band didn’t go for it. I won’t go into ‘why’, but let’s leave it at ‘every client has the right to refuse a design and that’s that.’ Hope I make it to their gig though, as musicians they kick lots of ass!

Still recovering from last friday… YES became quite a nice exhibition and the opening went truly great. See if you spot yourself on one of the photos Frank Hanswijk took of that opening and after party. If you haven’t seen YES yet… it runs until november 16!
Furthermore, with the help of one intern –who shall go nameless or otherwise will be mentioned way too often– I made the opening credits for Victor Vroegindeweij’s film ‘Gaandeweg’, a film about his father, the poet Rien Vroegindeweij. The film turned out great as did the title sequence, which will soon be available on my YouTube site. This of course will be advertised right here on the good old HuMobisten site.
Meanwhile, we’ll be seeing you guys next Sunday at Gyz’ Han Solo show at Cokkie Snoei.
Peace out, de vogel
