So on 18 October 2020, something happened. VPRO's Mondo had suddenly become an upbeat broadcast. And this in these times, when lamentation and mourning over lockdowns and impending bankruptcies dominate everywhere. What was going on?
Since everyone advised him to just give it a try, he signed up with almost a thousand amateur painters to learn the ancient craft of painting in six months and under the watchful eye of Pieter Roelofs, head of Painting and Sculpture at the Rijksmuseum, among others.
The chance of encountering a hedgehog or an (abandoned) nest with eggs in real life is unfortunately getting smaller and smaller with the shrinking area of nature and the extinction of many animal species, but the 'realness' of Helmantel's paintings still lets you enjoy these beautiful phenomena.
Strictly speaking, prioritisation is another word for wielding a saw line, but it feels different. 'Prioritisation within the applicable criteria', as stated on the site, smacks of possible arbitrariness, as nowhere is it indicated which criteria were weighted how heavily.
A group exhibition conceived by Anna Dasović and curated by Natasha Marie Llorens. Exhibition design by Arna Mačkić and Studio L A.
A school friend was a mountain climber. He was good at it; he never did anything else in holidays. The school friend was tall and so strong that he could pull himself up by one finger. On the first day after the autumn holidays, he told me that another climber in his group had fallen to his death before his eyes. If I remember correctly, he was alive...
'The spontaneous breeze should be planned at least 15 minutes in advance. After all, you have to buy tickets for a block of time. When you enter our venue, you immediately see all the security measures we have taken to protect staff and visitors. There are huge screens to separate the flow of visitors. There's a chance you won't get lost in... this time.
On 4 June, the Council for Culture issued its opinion on the subsidy applications of cultural institutions in the so-called basic infrastructure. The Council for Culture is the legal advisory body of the government and parliament in the field of art, culture and media. The Council advises on current policy issues and subsidy applications, solicited and unsolicited. It is very worthwhile www.raadvoorcultuur.nl af...
Five days after the opening of the exhibition Bruno Taut: beyond imagination, museum Het Schip had to close. Alice Roegholt, director of this museum dedicated to the Amsterdam School, saw two years of preparation go up in smoke. But after only a few days she thought: 'Let's turn it around and look at what is possible.'....
'At some point, you get it again. then you just have to start paying again. Unless there will somehow be remission, but that is not the case for now.' For Paul Baltus, director of museum dome Amersfoort in C, a big challenge awaits if the intelligent lockdown will slowly be lifted. How can...
Cake Trotters Home treats young children to original short films. Watch, marvel and then draw or craft yourself. Ideal for the May holidays.
80 million it should cost, and it should hold a lot of people, with three theatres, and it should all happen on the lot now occupied by the Theater aan de Parade in Den Bosch. That has proved so difficult that there has been fuss about it since 2006. Now there is a draft, approved and all, of...
(Volume podcast gecorrigeerd) Deze crisis zal het verdwijnen van kleine winkels, gerund door kleine zelfstandigen, versnellen. Al zou het mooi zijn wanneer acties om juist dáár je boodschappen te doen iets uitmaken, de concurrentie met het gigantische aanbod van de grote online ketens is bijna niet te doen. Daarom moeten we ze koesteren zolang ze er nog zijn. En niet…
‘Je handen kan je toch niet stoppen, dus ik zal altijd wel dingen blijven maken. Maar ik ben niet alleen kunstenaar pur sang, ik wil ook blijven communiceren.’ Chantal van Heeswijk is kunstenaar. Ze had een bomvolle agenda, tot halverwege maart. ‘Ik ben altijd op veel manieren bezig. Maar dat is bijna altijd werk waarbij veel mensen bij aanwezig zijn.…
The absurdity of the pandemic is slowly sinking in, but still remains unfathomable. We will keep you updated on developments. But the bow cannot always be tight. Sometimes a moment of attention is needed, for the beauty people are capable of. Therefore, a short film about glassblower Zuheir Alkazzaz who fled Syria because...
There is something incredibly cosy about it. While outside the storm is howling through deserted, boarded-up shopping streets full of demolished mini houses, baking pasties against the malady. But so it does work. On the side of The Kop, the most famous stand at the Anfield stadium on Liverpool's Oakfield Road, Dutch artist Jeanne van Heeswijk established a neighbourhood cooperative in 2012, when megalomaniacal urban renewal plans...
'All that remains for me to say is that I think it is a fantastic painting and that I find it downright criminal that the Heineken family is unwilling to display the painting in a public place. It shows what an incredible thug the Heineken family is.' Dixit Maarten van Rossem at the end of his speech at the...
They have learned something at Boekman. The foundation, which since this year has had the honour of managing the culture index, understands that trend graphs say precious little. We have observed this several times on this site, and the researchers now confirm this wholeheartedly. So this year the club is doing things differently. For the past few months, sixty wise men and women have been...
Controversial and an eyesore for many: Forum Groningen. It has occupied minds considerably over the past few years. On Friday 29 November, the cultural centre in Groningen was finally opened to the general public. Interest in Forum is certainly there, as the counter already stood at 50,000 visitors on Tuesday morning. The prestige project that has cost the Groninger quite a few tax cents
Door de storm aan publiciteit lijkt Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Onkruid verbrandende boer’ (1883) de ster van de nieuwe tentoonstelling Barbizon van het Noorden – De ontdekking van het Drentse landschap 1850-1950. Het middelpunt van de expositie laat, zoals het een goede diva betaamt, nog even op zich wachten. Het is ‘fashionably late’. Er is wel alvast een plekje gereserveerd. De…
This weekend, gallery owner Henk Logman discovered to his horror that artworks from the Amersfoort Art Loan were being offered for sale on a Belgian auction site. On his facebook page, he reports: 'The extraordinary thing about the whole thing is that the now still living artists were not informed of this. I would at least have expected that to have happened....
Vroeger vond men het drie keer niks, tegenwoordig zijn de schilderijen van waterlelies en blauweregens de beroemdste doeken van de Franse schilder Claude Monet. We bezochten zijn tuinen in Giverny en keken even door de ogen van de meester. Mokken en sokken Denk je aan de schilder Claude Monet, dan gaan de eerste gedachten waarschijnlijk uit naar diens kleurrijke doeken…
Since a still-famous, superbly dressed theatre deity declared me unfit for a future in his theatre in 1991 because of my shabby wardrobe, things have never really worked out between me and fashion, although these days my wife guards me from making too big a mistake. Not a very good starting point for a report on a fashion exhibition in Schiedam, but go ahead....
Bossche Theatre Artemis is, after International Theatre Amsterdam, the best theatre company in the Netherlands. The company owes this to an illustrious past (Pauline Mol!!) and to Jetse Batelaan. This director recently received the prestigious Silver Lion at the Venice Biennale for his disruptive oeuvre. This consists largely of performances in which children take power, without...
It is actually a footnote in the press release that lobby organisation Kunsten '92 sent out into the world today. But, as always with footnotes, it did contain the most important news. Because Kunsten 92, the club in which organisations in the arts sector polder, is "exploring cooperation" with the Creative Industry Federation. The latter is the Arts '92 of everything that is also culture and creativity,...
