DE AANSCHOUW

2011-10-15T09:19:00.012-04:00

'21st Century Nostalgia (YouTube)' (2011)

Yesterday I presented a new work for De Aanschouw.

De Aanschouw (trans. The Observation) is an old bulletin board on the outside of a pub, now transformed into a street gallery. Every week there is a new exhibition and the exhibitions are changed every friday night at half past nine in the evening, beers in hand.

I decided to use a clear image for street presentation. A contemporary image that is already in the collective memory but taken out of context: the YouTube logo, translated in a 3D pixeled sculpture/relief.

The YouTube logo is almost strictly confined to the internet screen. Putting it in the street and within the context of an 'art' presentation, questions about our viewing habits and recognition arise.

The pixeled sculptures I make originate in the principle of censorship, either positive or negative. In my recent work I am using the pixeled image also for showing phenomena in our surroundings that are bound to change or disappear (or already have done so).
Pixelation can be seen as a transformative stage of the slowly dissolving image, already blurred in eye and mind.

Although at the moment YouTube is one of the most popular and influential media we can almost be certain that in a not too far future, probably within a few decades, it will be a thing of the past.

It is intriguing to wonder what archeologists of the far future will dig up as visual remnants of the digital age!

Rock & Roll Pilgrim Father

2011-02-11T05:51:00.001-05:00

Embarking on a Pilgrimage soon. Starting from Delfshaven. Destination: the craddle of the great American art form of Rock & Roll (Memphis/New Orleans).

In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers left Holland - after having fled England as religious Separatists - to cross the Atlantic. During their voyage they wrote the Mayflower Compact, rules for the first self-reigning colony in the New World, now viewed upon as the root of independent democrazy of the United States of Rock & Roll.

EVIDENCE

2010-10-11T06:26:00.000-04:00

This week it has been 400 weeks since former Secretary of State Colin Powell addressed the UN Security Council on alledged WOMD in Iraq. Therefore I would like to bring to your attention the book I published with the alternative EVIDENCE files, based upon Sherezade.
These Files were originally uploaded and published on the internet when the first bombs hit Baghdad, the kick off for operation Iraqi Freedom.

You can order this book at amazon.com or in the Green Onion online shop:
www.greenonion.nl/shop

The book is almost entirely filled with illustrations with a short introduction on the origin of these files.

Der Große Krieg in a nutshell

2010-10-07T12:56:00.000-04:00

Video fragment as used in the lecture 'Berlin-Dada Kanonen-Jazz' with a soundtrack added, compiled of Futurist and Dadaist music and poems.

Hats off

2010-10-07T09:54:00.000-04:00

The lecture 'Berlin-Dada Kanonen-Jazz' at ROTABS last month went very well and was quite a success. Movies and slide-shows were accompanied by explanatory texts on WWI, Dada, Berlin, Inflation, Jazz and Cinema, tied together by a filmscript by Flemish poet Paul van Ostaijen: De Bankroet Jazz, 1921 (Bankruptcy Jazz, 1921).

Thanks to all those present.

The next project is in progress and will be distributed soon ...

Happy Friday

2010-08-13T06:16:00.000-04:00
