i paid a visit to the studio of ‘tejo remy & rene veenhuizen’ yesterday in utrecht, to see the progress on our collective art project ‘hoofdzaken’ the interview object is nearing completion and works perefectly, it was really great to see the guys at work… now it’s my turn to figure out exactly how to apply the typography, an exciting moment… the object will be moving to my studio in a few weeks to get started properly, more news soon…
although i’ve posted about talented artist/designer ‘noma bar’

interesting mix of photographers in the ‘second act’ festival, currently taking place in amsterdam: …the Second Act investigates the intersections between photography and performance.

The Second Act treats photography as a live practice and as a medium that is never permanently captured in a still image.
