New work: Albini digital prints

New work. Digital prints, 40x40cm, limited edition. I think I’ve been done with digital work for a while now. There are a few more to go, but analog work is also coming.

Amazon makes us pay too much, which is friendly phrasing for Amazon rips off all off.
Don’t buy through Amazon anymore. I quit.
Another video of work by Tamar Frank in Museum Hilversum. From our visit yesterday.
I visited my mother yesterday. A cousin of hers (what’s that to me?) delved into the family history, and it produced new material that I am now taking with me. Old photos of my grandfather’s brother and their parents, and even further back. It’s going into the archives.
I see myself, an age ago.
I drove on to Museum Hilversum and saw the exhibition. Popel Coumou and Tamar Frank have arranged Light Spaces. I was especially curious about Popel Coumou‘s work. I had heard of her in the podcast Springvossen and seen her work online, but I did not know Tamar Frank’s work.
Passing the cash register in Museum Hilversum is a small task for someone who is not that keen on conversation. The extremely friendly staff wants to explain the exhibition and the building in which the museum is located, the old city hall, where even the prison is still preserved – in the women’s restroom – I now know.
Eventually, I am let loose in the museum. Light Spaces is inspiring. Very rewarding.
Outside, It just won’t stop raining.
In the series New Zealand for Beginners, I made a new picture-collage video about our stay in Wellington.
Yesterday made two videos of the images I took at gigs of punk bands, in July and September. I hope the videos make you feel the energy released at these concerts.
Urgent Kill, Dying for it, Tomar Control @ Manifesto, Hoorn:
Got up very early this morning with lots of energy. I finished reading Figuranten, which ends a bit in a minor way. At least that’s how I feel about it.
Made two videos from photos of our New Zealand trip. Then I was so tired I had to lie down again.
Music by Citizen DJ. Very good and not the usual YouTube ladida songs.
Gisteren geen werkdag dus zelf dingen doen. Boijmans in het Rijks bekijken. Flitscamera mee en onderweg experimenteren.
Snel boodschappen gedaan en de hond uitgelaten en onderweg.
Boijmans is in de Philips hoek. Ik dwaal door de gangen met topwerken.
Wat is het hoogtepunt van Boijmans in het Rijks? Ik moet er verrassend veel moeite voor doen met dit voor de geest te halen. De kamer van Yayoi Kusama denk ik. Heb er een filmpje van gemaakt. En de bekende foto van Cindy Sherman. De Toren van Babel van Pieter Brueghel, de oude.
Het is een beetje een potpourri, hoewel de opbouw thematisch is.
Yesterday. In the morning, I walk the dog along the beach. The sky is reddish-purple from the light of the rising sun. A woman in a white bathrobe and sandals in her hands walks with me up the beach entrance. I turn left.
‘How beautiful, hey,’ she calls to me, pointing to the color spectacle on the horizon.
2500 steps and 2500 back is my goal for this morning’s walk. I walked the double yesterday, but now the 2500 steps are already weighing me down.
Installed myself behind a small table in the upstairs bedroom. Later, I switch the chair. The wooden case behind the desk is handy for hanging clothes over but not for sitting on.
Everyone seems to avoid doing as many things as possible.
At lunchtime, I cycle to the berry shed. We have agreed to eat lunch here in the form of a Cranberry pie. The cake is excellent. The building is almost empty. On the walls hang placards recounting the history of cranberry on Terschelling. Washed ashore, then cultivated, that’s the bottom line.
I wanted to stop work on time, but it turned out to be half past five.
After pumpkin soup with pumpkins from the picking garden, I went to the beach again with W. and the dog.
I listen to Kevin Kelly on the Design Matters podcast from Debbie Millman.
Kelly tells about his rebirth, and how he finds out how many years he has left to live, according to actuarial measurements. I mimic his method and land on 28 years. I will be 82 and my death date is in July 2049.
According to an American life expectancy calculator that includes some more data, I will live to be 94. I notice that mild alcohol consumption increases life expectancy.
