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.

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…!

Some time ago I asked you guys to award Homey Universalis and his design ‘Sad Skull / Happy Skull’ lots of points to help him win the BonBonKakku ‘June / July fabric design’ competition. Back then I was under the impression it was about a wallpaper design competition, turned out to be (curtain) fabric design competition… Same difference, it worked and he won! As a prize his fabric design is now for sale at the BBK website and somehow I received a couple of meters of the actual fabric. Sweet! Thanks everyone for helping a homey out.

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.

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

Pretty crappy (therefore cooler) recording of a TV broadcast item about one of the legendary M.T.C. party(s). Funny, Hitmeister D and me went (to this particular one from the YouTube item above) there in a fake fur coat, geeeezzz…
Those parties were awesome!

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.
