A project by Æ (Ramon Hulspas and Erik Vermeulen)

On behalf of the EDIT kunstprijs.

By squatting houses one can gain control over many squire meters. Where storage is normally limited by space, squatters have enough space at hand. All material can be stored and all this stored stuff is at hand, ready to use.

‘The truth of the matter is that the cookery of every nation has borrowed freely, often with unblushing audacity, from that of every other nation, and that only where it has succeeded in impressing its own stamp on its cooking technique, by the practice of local methods and the employment of local foodstuffs, can it be said to have reached the level that merits a distinct territorial adjective’

- C. Louis Leipoldt

‘Art is not bound to politics or place. Art is politics and place; art is diversity. A diversity of marginality. This ties us together and makes life so damn interesting. Art is culture, to cultivate!’
(Initiator, only recently)

artist- and curator talks on whiteness in artworks and exhibitions.

with:
1. Norman Beierle and Hester Keijser: explaining their work.
2. Gijs Pape, painter from Eindhoven, speaks about the exhibition he organized in TAC: 'Kennis van de lege ruimte'(knowledge of the empty space).
3. Francine Steegs of the Grafisch Atelier Den Bosch speaks, possibly with some fellow curators, on an upcoming exhibition that issues the whiteness in artworks.

From present day until the 11th of February.

Norman Beierle and Hester Keijser made several series of photographs: the ‘inside museums’ series. This series consists of photos taken at several museums, showing those parts of the building as seen when resting your eye anywhere but on the works on display. The photographs will not be presented as autonomous works, but will feature as photocopies in a larger installation.

Belgium is a country well noted for its 'vagueness' and taking this into account, this Belgian film delves into the world of 'quasi'
cultural forms. One of the vaguest notions in the cultural lexicon is that of the 'collective' and this film explores, through a non hierarchical system of montage, collective art actions in Belgium and their intersection with dominant and subcultural political and cultural ideologies that brushed against them.

Made by Rietveld

Boekpresentatie 13 december

N.I.P. - New Interfaces for Performance- zet in op het stimuleren van kunstenaars die werken met nieuwe middelen om interactie toe te passen in live performances. Ze richten zich nu op gebaren en beweging gericht op het interactief betrekken en uitdagen van publiek, in real-time met live media; met geluid, muziek en performance.

N.I.P. is uitgenodigd door your-space en stelt zich voor met verschillende geluidskunstenaars: TokTek, Tom Bugs en Frey. Op 19 december, 20:00 zijn er optredens in het TAC, op 20 december, 19:00 vinden er kunstenaarsgesprekken plaats in your-space, Van Abbemuseum.

your-space organiseert vier publieke gesprekken, parallel aan de caucus van Be(com)ing Dutch, waarin de culturele identiteit van de regio benaderd wordt, met het oogpunt deze te actualiseren en te activeren. Het haakt in op actuele politiek en historisch cultureel erfgoed en doet dit vanuit een eigentijds perspectief.
