Studio - Aalmarkt 17, Leiden



                    
Read about how you can participate in the "there is beauty in the city" project here. This exhibition in the window combines global views with Leiden views.

I have this studio thanks to
OPEN | Makers, a Leiden city culture project which gives artists a studio for 2 months in the middle of the city.

On September 12th the first frames for the installation Kāinga a roto (Home Within) were raised in place with Tama, Toroa (his teeshirt bears the text: Das Wort "Vegetarier" kommt aus dem Indianischen und heißt:"Zu Blöd zum Jagen") and Sen doing most of the work.

More photos will be added below documenting the progress.

Four of the five videos to go inside still need a some work but you can get an impression of these on my vimeo page. These are: The Heart of the Land, The Two Lands, The Dark Valley and The Moving Heart.

For the installation there will be no titles or credits and some will be made longer so they loop seamlessly and so the soundscape of the space works as an entity.
These plus the new one I'm still working on will be for sale as a DVD package from late October onwards.

Galerie TamTam :: exhibition in Leiden North shops


This image is the front window of a baker's shop with Piet Franzen, the Leiden artist who made the installation of 'gold' bread visible on the lower left.

All information about this exhibition by 36 artists in 19 shop windows is here: www.tamtamfestival.nl/galerie. The exhibition is on until June 9th.

The TamTam Festival is an annual cultural festival in my neighbourhood and this year I'm coordating an art exhibition in 19 shops (3 butchers, 2 bakershops, a snackbar, a vet's clinic, 2 hairdressers (or barbers), a video-dvd hire shop, a pharmacy, a florist, 2 community centres, 2 activities centres for the elderly, a corner shop specializing in selling cigarettes, a medical centre and a domicile :)

It will be fun. The shopkeepers are so enthusiastic and I've a little funding for a decent flyer. Deadline for submissions: 24 April.
All info about the project is here.
