IGNITE AMSTERDAM 14
On January 25th I will tell something about the project I did with my mother, 'The most important things are not things', at Ignite Amsterdam 14 organized by Mediamatic. The evening starts at 20:30.
Ignite is run by locals, for locals. Fast-paced and merciless, Ignite evenings are fun, thought-provoking nights, full of fresh ideas and clever insights. Speakers get five minutes to present their idea. They make use of twenty slides that auto-advance every fifteen seconds. Ignite serves as a platform for locals to connect offline and have a drink together.

Finally, from today I am the proud owner of the TENWORDSANDONESHOT catalogue (edition 87/100) made by Kevin Krumnikl. In exchange for an artwork of mine, with the same size as the catalogue, we made a swap.
The catalogue looks great! Thanks Kevin!

1+(1+1)+1
As a part of my residency at the MeetFactory I will have a show in their gallery.
For this I invited Czech artist David Helán and Frank Koolen to participate as well. David Helán on his turn invited David Hrivnacky to take part.
In the show we will try to find a balance between things that happen by change, chaos, originality and the randomness, uselessness and beauty of daily life.
The opening will be on Thursday 8th September from 19:00.
Curated by Dušan Zahoranský.

APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
This year, from August 22 untill 26, I will give a workshop and a lecture at the European Exchange Academy in Beelitz-Heilstätten, Germany.
The workshop and lecture will focus more on the process rather then the result. Idea’s are hanging in the air, but what do you do with them? Be open to the possiblities that emerge when accidents happen. Don’t be afraid to kill your darlings, or someone else’s. Get lost from the familiar, known and safe path. Let go of the urge to be in control and make things happen.

STUDIO >< STUDIO
At the moment I am working on the idea of making a studio in my studio at the MeetFactory in Prague. Something from this studio will be recreated in Amsterdam by someone else. This will be shown at the opening of KAFANA, a new art place in Amsterdam. Through a live connection between the two cities there will be a simultaneous and parallel exhibition.
This is still very much a work in progress and it will be an ongoing project during my residency at the MeetFactory.
You are very welcome on Thursday 21st July in my studio at the MeetFactory from 18:00 till 20:00 or KAFANA from 12:00 till 20:00.
The following artists will also show something in Amsterdam:

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ARE NOT THINGS
Especially for the projectspace of Zoete-Broodjes I will show new work that I've made together with my mother.
My mother has trouble naming things and finds it difficult to remember things because of dementia. While I try to let go of limiting thoughts in my working process. An important aspect in my work is the making and finding of things without definition, meaning or naming. Thinking becomes direct action. As it becomes increasingly difficult to communicate verbally with my mother I'll take her with me in an attempt to create something, or rather nothing.
Hereby we would like to welcome you on the opening of the exhibition on Friday 20th of May, from 20:00 till 22:00.
The exhibition runs untill the 17th of June 2011.
- The reportage of my mother looking at things on Art Amsterdam is published on Trendbeheer! To see it click HERE!

SALON D'AMSTERDAM
Het thema van de Rotterdamse Museumnacht is dit jaar "10 x 010". SARATIMTRUST is aan het rekenen geslagen en kwam uit op 020. Om nou eens een beetje bij het onderwerp te blijven heeft SARATIMTRUST besloten om hun ruimte in de Mauritsstraat voor één avond uit te roepen tot een enclave van Amsterdamse Denkers, Doeners en Draaiers, bij elkaar gebracht en gehouden door Miktor & Molf en Femke Dekker. Zij stampen in één dag een evenement uit ...de grond met de energie van een Rotterdamse havenarbeider en het intellect van een Grachtengordelschrijver. Kom je ook?
De Zwarte Ruyter doet ook mee met de museumnacht en staat met 'Greetings from Rotterdam' bij Roodkapje.
De Rotterdamse museumnacht vindt plaats op zaterdag 5 maart 2011 vanaf 20:00.

TEN WORDS AND ONE SHOT
A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from Kevin Krumnikl with the question if I could answer ten questions/words and take one photograph of my working space for his project TEN WORDS AND ONE SHOT. Because I don't have a studio at this moment I took a picture of my desk at home, the place where I am working right now.
