• Studio Jonas Staal – NL

Exactly a week ago a new collaboration between Maya Felixbrodt, Samuel Vriezen myself & Studio Jonas Staal was born at Propositions #2: Assemblism (at BAK, Basis voor Actuele Kunst, in Utrecht). We were experimenting with an unusual combination of political activism and compositional thinking – resulting in an extremely uplifting and also mind bending live performance experience: the then heard voices & sounds, discussions, statements and question marks,  will certainly continue resonating within us. Now hoping, actually planning,… to bring this to live again, in updated formats, new gatherings and assemblisms, somewhere in the (near) future.

• interview Radio Klara, VRT/China

Globalization and telecommunication at its best ! Today Vincent Meessen and me had a talk about the exhibition Patterns for (Re)cognition at Radio Klara (VRT). Vincent live from the radio studio in Brussels. And me – via the phone – live from Lijiang Studio Yunnan, rural China, lower Himalayas (Yes, flew almost directly from East-Africa to East Asia. Here right now in an absolutely fabulous residency run by Jay Brown & curated by Crystal Pascucci). Vincent and me were talking about Tshela Tendu’s pioneering Congolese modern art in the 1930’s, Tshela Tendu’s one time accidental meeting with Jan Vansina in the 1950’s. In case u missed it, here a link to the radio interview (in Dutch).
