i am starting work on the fifth and final part of the ‘top 100’ audio project for italian artist ‘davide bertocchi’, we started the project back in 2004 and it has so far involved, over 500 international artists and curators, when the fifth piece (all white this time to complete the whole CMYK set) is completed, we will then be working on a limited edition box set containing almost a whole days worth of eclectic music in all kinds of genres…
is an initiative by a group of local art students, which aims to fuel the debate around the recent draconian cuts to the arts & culture funding in the netherlands
their latest project involves the large official collective billboards which are used here during local and national elections, they are subject to strict rules and provide fixed space for all of the contending political parties to state their case, ‘slash art’ has opened a free-for-all competition inviting the general public to customise (or vandalise) them in their own way… nice, why not have a go? democracy is a privilege we need to cherish
i cycle past the house where this fella (the man in the middle of rembrandt’s famous ‘nightwatch’ painting) lived every morning… but i never got as close to him as is now possible with google’s new art project
for a second i thought it read ‘ no more blowing…’ some jaw-dropping silk-screen posters from michiel schuurman hanging around amsterdam at the moment, not sure what the story is yet but these are guaranteed to get noticed… (image used without the kind permission of ‘hansje’ hope you don’t mind?)
i’m off screen printing today so this is just the inspiration i needed, back tomorrow…
