Went to Delft last Saturday to participate in a festival at Pionierskwartier, where a family member lives in a tiny house – very nice and cozy.

Got to do a few new things today while working on my virtual river. Needs to be done, for Waterschap Rivierenland iis interested in exihibiting it. First off, I needed to teach myself audio editing, for I caught a few on-the-river sounds – a train running over a bridge, bells…
Hectic two weeks leading up to the opening of HedenHaags – the exhibition about the city of The Hague in Museum The Mesdag Collection that I’ve been helping to produce. Today is opening day, and it is glorious. Press opening was this morning, and we had press, and they were…

In Amsterdam yesterday – the day our new king was installed – to test the republican sentiment. I found that republicans were few and far between. Proof of this sad state of affairs: in three hours I sold all of the ‘Ik willum wel’ buttons, and under half of the…
And yes – we’re Into the Great Wide Open. Into – certainly, Great – for sure, Wide Open – well, we are situated in a lovely small wood full of fresh-smelling pine trees. Not wide open, more of a canopy feeling. Getting here has been another E&E adventure – Eveline…
News: The exhibition that was proposed by my MaHKU friends in Athens may be materialising! The proposal we sent a few months ago for a group exhibition in an Art space in Athens wasn’t selected at the time. Apparently we did make an impression, for a few days ago the people from…

Theme of the exhibition is ‘collective individuality’, we are showing our individual responses to the same bit of public space: Jaarbeursplein.
