i was in the hague last night briefly to pick up a pile of wood, together with 40+ other designers and artists i have been given approx. 4 months to turn it into something interesting… we meet again in november when the results will all be exhibited somewhere and then auctioned off for a good cause…
stunning work from maciek janicki, more info via it’s nice that
…is the name of an upcoming exhibition in eindhoven at the piet hein eek gallery featuring work by none other than ‘anton beeke’ and a group of his former students… a book will also be released during the exhibition
clever idea for a painting currently on show at the cncpt13 gallery in amsterdam: although it is illegal to celebrate the dalai lama’s birthday or paint his picture in tibet a dutch artist (airco caravan) had a painting created in several separate parts
…without knowing, 16 artists in China painted a part of the Dalai Lama. They were invited to produce ‘abstract’ impressionistic oil paintings, based on photos uploaded onto their websites. The pictures were pieces of the portrait, but were rotated and named ‘Curtains’, ‘Grandpa’, ‘Mango’ and the like. Together the Chinese painters created an illegal painting, symbolizing peace and unity in many different ways… it took her a half year to collect all of the pieces together (via ‘de volkskrant’)
awesome portrait of dutch actor porgy franssen by talented photographer (and my mate) lukas göbel in the ‘volkskrant’ magazine this past weekend
