The Place, The Space..

Last Sunday I did visit the exhibition in the building where I used to have the studio together with Evelien.
Only that day you could see the exhibition: The Place, The Space by curator Ronald de Ceuster.
The exhibition can be seen as an Ode to the building.

 There has been a previous weekend where you could see the exhibition, but at that time it was too emotional for me to go there.

 So I went, and it was beautiful to see what artists who didn't had a studio in the building did with all the rooms...

 In our studio Artist Ienke Kastelein placed her work named: La Piéce

 When I entered our former studio there was this music playing..

2 chairs where standing in the middle of the room..

It was as we just had left the room, and leave those chairs behind..
The right one for me and the left one for Evelien..

 At the other end of room where also 2 chairs wating..


 In the cupboard was a blanket..

 And a Book...Species of spaces

She made this work without knowing that the studio had belonged to an Artist Couple..
Kind of Magical I think...
And it was in a strange way very moving for me to be back in our former studio and to see this work..

Nex to this was more great Art work..as..

About Dutch Fishermans Ganseys..and a bit More..

Afbeelding
In my previous post I promised to write about the just released book about Dutch Fisherman's Ganseys. Written by Stella Ruhe . In Dutch the title is:  Visserstruien uit 40 Nederlandse vissersplaatsen. There is an English translation with the title:  Dutch traditional ganseys. Sweaters from 40 vilages. (I couln't find it on Amazon, but there are some book(web)shops in Holland who also deliver all around the world.) For many years I had on my bookshelve the only book on Dutch Fisherman's ganseys. Written in 1983 by Henriëtte van der Klift-Tellingen. The book is printed in black and white, has many pictures from beautifulganseys in it, and it tells the history behind them. It is a good book, but the new book is better and more interesting. (but more about that book later in this post) I have never made a gansey for myself, but I have always been attracted to them.  Dutch ganseys (and the same is for English one's) tell a history from fishermen

Jean Paul Gaultier ..  My Hero when I studied Fashion at Art College. I remember buying the magazine Marie Claire Bis every season.. And in the where... The most spectaculair Desi gns by him.  This afternoon I found a map full of photo's with his designs from the time I studied Fashion Design. Combinations no one ever dreamed off.. Chiffon and lace Aprons... Old Models... Amazing adverts.. Guess he was -and still is- a big inspiration for Fashion students.. I remember that we had to make an illustration with silk paper and I used one of his designs. I have always kept it. At the moment De Kunsthal in Rotterdam shows the exhibition:  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk I went yesterday.. I had doubts ofcourse because Bram is so weak.. But the nurses told me to go.. Neighbours took care.. Jochum came and stayed the whole afternoon.. And I could take a break from a few hours,. and breath... I was a bit nervous when I
