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’.

Ik ben dus ziek (,maar toch aan het werk vanwege dingen die gewoon echt af moeten!) en da’s geen pretje. Je wordt de hele nacht wakker van niks. Je moet de hele tijd poepen, maar je kan dan niet. Je bent de hele tijd duizelig(!). Je kan niet tegen het geluid van TV en lezen is een soort tour de force… (Toch een Roald Dahltje eruit geknalt die minstens evenzeer de moeite waard was als de rest van zijn ouevre). In elk geval, nu ik hier toch weer zit te zwoegen in the old studio, heb ik ik dit geweldige oppeppertje van mijn goeie maat Cathelijne Beijn opgestuurd gekregen… Misschien alleen leuk voor mijzelf, maar ik vermoed toch van niet. Maar maak joe dat zelf even lekker uit:

‘Yes’ is the new ‘No’. Pet Shop Boys have a new album out. Bound to be great.
You’re right, that is a Peter Saville album cover.

Hot Items

In this last issue of items magazine (a dutch zine on design ’n stuff) Elda Dorren wrote a review on the YES exhibition that I curated some time ago at the MAMA art space in Rotterdam. The review is quite on point but I didn’t expect it to be anything else as I know her texts to be insightful and open minded, never funny, but certainly light hearted. Plus when reading her articles it’s obvious that she truly understands what it is to actually listen, unlike, well… basically everyone.

In the same issue of ‘items’ she also talks about two books that have special meaning for her (a sort of items traditional). One of those is How to Simplify your life by Werner Tiki Küstenmacher and Lothar J. Seiwert. it’s subtitled Seven Practical Steps to Letting Go of Your Burdens and Living a Happier Life and although I haven’t read it it seems pretty useful when learning about goals such as ‘How to conquer the paper piles on your desk once and for all’ and ‘How to stay fit and healthy, without overdoing it’. In her text on why she thinks the book’s brilliant she mentions somewhere that the whole idea of ‘perfection’ is just ridiculous and thus saying things like ‘I don’t know’ might be putting your life in just the perspective it needs. Now I don’t know if you’ve seen this exhibition but my guess is it couldn’t have had a better reviewer than her. See for yourself right here.

YES seen on TV

The YES exhibition was supposed to end last sunday, but because of its gigantic success another whole week has been added to its existence. So, if you got a six pack and nothin’ to do visit showroom MAMA on the Rotterdam Witte de Withstraat and see what you think of it.

Thank you: Jan de Bruin@Ketel TV for diggin’ up the original files to this clip.
