Printproofs publication “HMK {Hotel Mariakapel} 2008 -2010 Reunion”

The publication HMK {Hotel MariaKapel} 2008 – 2010 reunion is a reflection on the programme of artists initiative HMK for the period 2008 – 2010, the years in which Daniël Dennis de Wit and I worked as curators and directors. The book is designed by Michiel Schuurman and printed bij robstolk in 10 different spotcolors. It contains contributions specially designed for it by a wide range of artists. The book contains a glossary with information on all projects which have taken place at HMK between 2008 and 2010, and biographies of the artists involved in them.

On 11 December at 4 pm, the first copy will be presented to cultural councillor Peter Westenberg of the Municipality of Hoorn. We would like to celebrate this special occasion with you with glühwein and pastries. More information on that will follow soon.

A trailer of the video Pavlov made for this edition of their series Pavlov E-labs, themed “lines of belonging”, is now on youtube. It features some clips regarding Family Features, the project I just realized together with Jan Klug, Mineke Bosch and Jean-Christophe Billeter.

Family Features, our contribution to the Pavlov e-labs project ‘lines of beloning’ is nearly there. Try outs will be this Wednesday, premieres Thursday, and your last chance to come over is on Saturday. Tickets at Noorderzon. Wish us luck!

It fits snugly with the RC21 “struggle to belong” conference: At the moment, computerwizard and multi-instrumentalist Jan Klug and myself are working on an interactive installation for Pavlov E-labs, an organization initating art/science crossovers. Both Jan and I have worked with Pavlov before, and are very excited to do so again.

We are collaborating closelywith genetic Biologist Jean-Christophe Billeter and historian Mineke Bosch. Our joint project will be presented during Noorderzon 2011

Dinner with Pavlov’s Nathalie Beekman, Mineke, Jean-Christophe, Jan and myself to go over the plans
