‘HEIM INS WALD’
wassenaar
juni 7, 2008
Last week, there was an opening of a sculpture exhibition (’Hoogspanning’)in the park ‘Paauw’ around the cityhall of the village of Wassenaar, very close to The Hague. I participated with a workshop/masterclass with seven students of the visual ‘Vrije Academie’ from The Hague. We have worked 4 days on the beautiful location and had an intense and dynamic atmosphere. The concentration and dedication to the work was terrific despite of a lot of political carry on at the site of our adventure! Moreover, the organisation was especially focused on the Royal prince and princess who opened the exhibition and with whom I had a nice chat last week.
Our installation is called ‘Identiteit is weten wie je bent omdat je hondje je herkent’(free translation on a quote of Gertrude Stein’s ‘Identity is knowing who you are, because your doggy recognizes you’).
The beginning……..

Yesterday night Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) and Kosmopolis Netherlands gave out the prices for two winners of the Kosmopolis Stranger Videoworkshop, which took place in the IBB last week. For a local jury of experts on film, it turned out to be very difficult to choose two winners out of the eight small movies by Christy Sambo, Elvis Chen, Nick Polanco, J.C Stenacker, Darnel Rafaela, Frenjeska Schoop, Harvey Davelaar en Julivean ‘Papito’ Reigina. Still, the final winners chosen by the jury were the same as the ones chosen by the public: Harvey Davelaar with his movie “Running From Myself” en Papito Reigina with “Nadi Hasi”. They will be participating in the next round, the 3rd till 5th. of july in Amsterdam on behalf of foundation Kosmopolis, Strangerfestival Europe.
Yours sincerely,
on behalf of Kosmopolis as well,
