Aziz - Goud

We assisted Aziz (new site!) again with one of his great projects: He is the curator of the exhibition 'Goud' (gold) in Het Catherijneconvent . In the exhibition, Aziz enhances the museum’s own collection with remarkable, thought-provoking, surprising, old, modern and contemporary works on loan. For example, there will be crowns, sceptres and jewels from the collection of the State Museum in Moscow. And, for the first time, the spectacular ensembles from Aziz himself - in which he frequently made use of gold - will be shown to the public.

NIET NORMAAL

Look at my post below: Photobucket just refused one of te posters (a nude mannequin) of Niet Normaal * Difference on Display. The Campagn was designed by Kessels Kramer. This campaign previously has been refused by NS (Dutch Railways). I feel violated and a bit invalid too.

NIET NORMAAL

Yes, we design exhibitions as well:
From December 16th 2009 to March 7th 2010 a major art exhibition that allows a large audience to experience different works will be held at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. The exhibition, entitled: Niet Normaal * Difference on Display, features the work of internationally renowned artists who in their work address a defining question of our time: what is normal and who decides?

MAGNEETBAR under construction

I will - again - team up with the Magneetbar crew. This year it will - yet again - be legendary, I'm sure. Enjoying my favorite holiday; a week full of hands-on carpentering, topped off with the biggest, baddest party at A Campingflight To Lowlands Paradise.

You can follow our progress on Flickr.

out of fashion...

My work as Senior Designer already has taken its toll; I can no longer be a lecturer at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute. There's simply not enough time to do everything I would like to do...
But a man has got to stay true to his beliefs. And therefor, little after this summer's Amsterdam Fashion Week, I will be officially out of fashion.

NEWSFLASH!!!

I have been asked (and I accepted) to start working as Senior Designer for CONCERN.
I'll start this September, but I feel corporate already:
I proudly attended the opening of the exposition of 'our' models ("Models Of Concern") and the presentation of the book with the same title. The expo is the last one in Stedelijk Museum CS. It is open untill August the 31st.
Check 'us' out!

the studio is dead, long live the studio!

Photobucket

My contract in the PostCS building will end soon. I have to move my studio. My plan is to do this very literal.
I've started to redecorate my oldtimer Mercedes camper van. At the end of this summer, I will be working 'anywhere' in my mobile-guerrilla-design-machine.
