We are moving too fast. Politics moves too fast, the news moves too fast, and nobody takes the time anymore to spend a quiet time listening to a piece of music, reading a thick book, or listening and watching slow art for 36 hours at the Concertgebouw in Bruges. So the concert hall in Bruges is organising a festival with...
Hooray! We have a new name. Nederlands Symfonieorkest was not allowed, *****Orkest everyone thought was a joke and reverting to the perfect name Orkest van het Oosten is not possible, because loss of face. What then?
Art has rapidly become unimportant. Artists have been effectively dismissed by populists as subsidy-addicted scum. Media leaves no opportunity to downplay the consequences of the cuts that followed. Putin is about to bring a third world war to Europe. In Amsterdam on Saturday, September 6, three of the Netherlands' last daily newspaper critics talk to artists about...
This is rather fantastic. The Tate Museum in London offers the opportunity to wander the halls at night, in the dark. To view everything on your own time. By controlling robots from your couch. Viewing artworks online in museums has been possible for a long time. We have the Google Art Project, we have our own Rijksmuseum that...
Like the rest of the internet population, artist Aram Tanis A photoblog. A stream of bizarre images found on the internet. With one big difference.
After co-organising FATFORM, a radical series of art events in Amsterdam Southeast - with furious crossover exhibitions and performances on the roofs of an abandoned shopping centre and a car park, the collective around creative production agency Vinger.nl has thrown itself into the new edition of the Open Art Route 2014. And it will be something.
Even een korte tijdje vooruitdenken en je bent waar Google wil dat je bent. Alle kunst, overal ter wereld bereikbaar via je beeldscherm, je tablet. Zelfs de obscure kunst. Of sterker: mee te maken in je google glass of je Oculus VR bril. Je kunt nu al kunst in musea bekijken, maar dan zonder een rondleider die je vertelt wat je moet zien. En hoezeer we dat in het dagelijks leven ook niet op prijs stellen, soms is het best fijn om aan de hand van een gids door onbekend terrein te lopen. Zonder je vakantiegeld eraan te geven.
It's still kind of a secret, but the website is already online. Without reference to the people behind it, but then again, we know that. So we can break the news: it CPNB (that book week club) collaborates with the booksellers and publishers on a revolutionary platform for ebooks. This project, titled 'Leesid' should put an end to the chaos of DRM-shit, lots of different readers and tablets and bizarre ownership rules the Dutch electronic book reader still has to live with.
Ook al breekt vandaag nog de oorlog uit, straaljagers zullen er niet meer landen. 200.000 bezoekers per jaar hebben ze nu minimaal nodig, op Soesterberg. De voormalige vliegbasis in het hart van Nederland, waar tot 2009 een squadron F15 straaljagers paraat stond om de toenmalige vijand, de communisten, een lesje te leren, komt in handen van het publiek. De projectontwikkelaar legt er de laatste hand aan het Militair Luchtvaartmuseum. Kleine delen van de vijf kilometer lange landingsbaan worden omgeploegd, en een paar hangars krijgen een bestemming als bergplaats van kunst.
Dat de boekenmarkt het moeilijk heeft, is inmiddels wel bekend. In de strijd tussen papier en ereader gaat het er hard aan toe. Uitgevers vinden digitaal lezen eigenlijk een vorm van diefstal. Mag u een gekocht papieren boek behalve lezen, ook verknippen, uitlenen, weggeven, doorverkopen en verbranden, met een ebook mag dat allemaal niet.
On 12 August 2012, during the worst watched Summer guests-broadcast of all time (343,000 viewers) told trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkoort about The Johnny Cash Project. A great example of what crowdsourcing can do for creativity: in 2010, everyone was invited to add a drawing to an animated music video to Johnny Cash's latest song. We now know what and who is behind this:
On Wednesday 1 August 2012, the Performing Arts Fund will announce the results of the lottery that granting arts subsidies has now become. Huge cuts are looming: companies and creators that by now seemed to be a permanent part of the Dutch arts landscape will disappear. Exactly what it will look like, we know
There have been days when we had 1500 page views. You, 2500 of our most loyal visitors, came so far to provide 14000 views on dedodo.co.uk, and you stayed around for an average of three minutes. On average. We are proud of that. Apparently, we managed to attract and keep your attention. So those are good figures for an online festival day newspaper like De Dodo, which has to make do with no screaming, no marketing budget but an overdose of enthusiasm and professional innovativeness.
Shakespeare had it, Oscar savage had it, Monty Python had it and Simon McBurney has trucks full of it. So it is British and it is called humour, or rather the ability to show the absurdity of life as simultaneously hilarious and deeply tragic. And let that also apply to Russian Mikhail Bulgakov. So his unfinished novel The Master and Margarita has now had to wait almost 75 years for a director like Simon McBurney to turn it into theatre.
Anyone who might think that making a stage show is a simple one-two punch of a genius director with a good team of creatives and perfect actors is wrong. Only, as a spectator once attending the performance, you don't notice any of that. And that is just as well. You come for the performance and you won't care if...
We already have one episode on it, and it was of course a huge success, but right at the climax you have to start something new. That's why tonight at 22:30 we have a new thing: The Dodo Holland Festival Hangout. Live, interactive and online. Innovative, in other words, as you know it from us. You know them: those reporter trucks with metres of spaghetti...

We already noticed it in the daily twitter stream: when it comes to book reviews on twitter, the 'low' genres (at least according to connoisseurs) dominate the charts: fantasy, diaries of disease sufferers, 'regional work', howto's and erotica. No news, you may say, but there is more to it.
'I will never go to anything undergrounds again,' sighs a lady as she leaves the auditorium. She looks pained, after more than an hour and a half of Neutral Hero by director Richard Maxwell and the New York City Players. The paper description of the show may therefore lead a potential visitor astray. A 'country opera' sounds far too...
Het wordt met temperaturen boven de 25 graden een broeierige, maar ook unieke zomerdag, die 10e september. Het Cultureel Persbureau is die dag en zondag met 4 journalisten aanwezig op de voormalige Vliegbasis Soesterberg om verslag te doen van festival De Basis. Wanneer u daar komt, maakt u veel natuur, nog meer indrukwekkend oorlogsverleden en een stuk of wat theatervoorstellingen…

Op woensdag 27 april 2011 deden we verslag van het jaarlijkse symposium van de Koninklijke Vereiging van Boekverkopers. Interessante bi9jeenkomst, kunnen we stellen, maar natuurlijk was niet iedere spreker even briljant als Eppo van Nispen tot Sevenaar, de directeur van de stichting Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek, die we vanaf nu de Johannes en Jezus van de verhalenbranche zullen…
