From Friday June 18 until Sunday June 27 some of my furniture designs (Restore I and Klapraspkruk) are on display in an exhibition about repair and re-use in Nationaal Vlechtmuseum Noordwolde.

From May 29 until June 27, 82 Deventer artists (including me) present themselves at the Salon in the Bergkerk, Deventer. View some documentation of my work here. In the weekend of 19/20 June, 62 of these artists (including me) also open their studio for the public in the Atelierroute. Both Salon and Atelierroute are a part of Toegang Vrij, organised by Kunstenlab once every two years.

Opening my studio for the public is always a good excuse to tidy up I guess… Other artists opening their studio in Havenkwartier this year: Aukje Grouwstra (Baufrau), Femke Teussink, Elise van de Linden, Margot Olde Loohuis and Babet Olde Weghuis. Well worth it!

Open: Saturday June 19 – Sunday June 20, 12:00 – 17:00 hrs. All participating artists are mentioned in a free magazine, including their studio adresses and a map (see pictures below).

I made some brand new works for the exhibition in the Bergkerk. I’ll probably post them here soon, although I’m not sure if I can get the essence of this work across through the internet… I’ll try to get some decent photo documentation.

My record label esc.rec. was invited to K@Rlab#9 for a label showcase. K@Rlab is the new soundlaboratory of K@R. And K@Rlab#9 is the very first adventurous music and sound festival that they host. It’s a three day festival and the line-up looks promising!

Saturday the 22nd is the first day and it features a lecture on independent art & music by Wouter Jaspers, live performances by Transfolmer, Staplerfahrer, Jacq Palinckx, Pierre Bastien and label presentations by the good folks of Lomechanik, Korm Plastics, Vatican Analog, Tonefloat and esc.rec. of course… A good line-up with a lot of familiar faces for all you esc.rec. connaisseurs.

Some more esc.rec. artists perform the next day in an electronic jamsession: Frans de Waard and Roel Meelkop.

Check the full line-up and more info overhere.

Finally. A new edition of ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer. Esc.rec. is celebrating the 1oth edition with glory and beauty by Greg Haines, Marcus Fjellström and Bas Mantel.

Greg Haines returns to the ass-crack stage-hack (see his previous show) to present his new album; minimal, modern classical compositions, oozing melancholy at times. Subtle use of electronics allows him to build his compositions carefully, layer by layer. For this concert he brings an extra cello/violin player.

Marcus Fjellström fuses contemporary classical music with experimental electronica and audiovisual works. His output ranges from orchestral compositions, through independent record label releases to collaborations with “Salad Fingers” creator David Firth. Lately he has teamed up with Dutch graphic designer and artist Bas Mantel for exciting audiovisual experiments, in both moving images and print… he also designed the poster for this ass-crack stage-hack.
