Inluenza @ IFFR Rotterdam

My good friend and fulltime public space pirate Jeroen Jongeleen is part of the Film Festival of Rotterdam's Size Matter programme with his animation "Composition II (Chrome Square)" I really liked his "A Little Movement" animations, but this one is a great next step...



More IFFR here.

Kees Haring


Documentary on Keith haring, with some nice footage I didn't see before. The arrest part is very funny. As is Grace Jones' bodypaint performance...
Most of it is from 1981/1982, and interesting to see the parallels with today's STREETART or whatever you want to call it. From glueing images on the street to drawing on billboards, from friction with traditional graffiti to watering down images to gimmicky proportions to print it on mugs, t-shirts placemats and bedsheets for the mainstream; full circle once again.

See it here



Oh..and something about one of Haring's last existing outdoor murals in Amsterdam here.

VPRO-gids

De VPRO-gids van deze week, met een bijzondere gelijkenis...niet Obama maar Tupac, als in, ik bedoel, nou ja, niet dat Obama echt lijkt, maar ja.

Het zal wel toeval zijn nietwaar?

Greetings from Rotterdam


Watching Influenza with his "Plastic bag as Jolly Roger" in the city center of Rotterdam. "It was already there when I got here" and other excuses...

almost fake / hardly real

I simply love it (not only because I used to love monstertrucks as a kid). The pointless waiting for the climax of a big car crushing small cars suddenly becomes the main focus and the car-crushing climax itself is nothing more than a split second. And all of that seems to take place in somebody's attic...or does it?

Graffiti? Albert kan het ook.



Geirriteerde SBS6-BN'ers kunnen er wat mij betreft niet genoeg zijn...

My mom went to Iran...

For holiday purposes, so don't worry.


She brought back home this plastic bag, and isn't that a great misspelling?
I thought only the American economy worked like that...

Petter Buhagen

Check out Petter Buhagen.



ACTION - REACTION

"Filed under: haha"




The Eindhoven way of dealing with an art-project, well it's the street-laws that determine if something is art or not right?
Good try anyway Erik and Elske! : )

(I like the "design the future" part...)
