From june 19 til’ last july 11th Gyz and me participated on the group show Kleur 01 (colo(u)r 01) at Dek22, a show in which the works were selected (by guest curator Anique Weve of Fam. Ruim) based on their primary colo(u)r(s) or because they had something to do with one of the primary colo(u)rs otherwise. Gyz’ ‘Yellow Pages’ (2009) and my own —or at least Homey Universalis’— ‘vlag voor het strand’ (flag for the beach, 2007) were on display plus I wrote a little text on the difference of colo(u)rs. This text can (still) be read on a wall in the exhibition going on right now, called Kleur 02 (colo(u)r 02), which is about (the) secondary colo(u)rs, starring (amongst many others) Daan den Houter, Marijke Appelman, Alex Jacobs & Ellemieke Schoenmaker.
from up to down: ‘Yellow Pages’, ‘text on colo(u)r’, ‘vlag voor het strand’.

A while ago DC asked me to help ’em out with the art and direction of this book they were makin’ in a collaboration with André Platteel, a dutch well known author on (mostly) visual culture and Dennis Duijnhouwer, who did the (splendid) photography. I had me some fun talking on youth (and with youths) and deciding especially what not to do with form and coming up with this ‘forever friends’ section in which I tried to show the diversity within the similarity of eight of the books main characters.
I think it became an eye opening book on the youth of today and I especially like that it holds the promise of a somewhat more ‘opened up’ future of thought. More info through post editions. Good collaboration, everyone!
Nice to meet you, André Platteel, Maikel van Berkel and Josien Dragt.
Homeboy Max Maas is niet alleen Bubbelebimmer met een gloednieuw facebook account, hij heeft ook een oefenruimte in Rotterdam (west) die De Frikandel heet. Ik heb er dus een logo voor gemaakt. kusjes.
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 blackboard and I came up with this little mindbender entitled ‘50 huge feet’. Come check it out, it turned out quite good.
Other participants are 113b, Olivier Scheffer and SARATIMTRUST itself (consisting of graphic designer Andreia Costa, photographer Frank Hanswijk, fashion designer Iñiy Sanchez, allround cultural entrepeneur Natasa Heydra and visual artist / film maker Tim Leyendekker). There’s a bar, local hero Philibert S. cuts a Spanish ham and DJ Chairman of the Board and myself will be playing some of our finest tunes.
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, Marcel Wiebenga’s super cool new weblog on music, love, life, politics and what have you. Bye bye!
