On the 9th of October my Rockin’ Chair springs back into action at Blog-art in Theater aan het Spui in The Hague. It will be played by Matt Harris this time. Blog-art is a special event by and for creative webloggers. For this occasion I was interviewed by Marco Raaphorst. Check the interview here (in dutch). I’ll probably post some more info about Blog-art here soon.

Two releases by my label esc.rec. got great reviews again in the latest Gonzo Circus, one of my favorite magazines, the only I actually subscribe to. Check the reviews here and here. Oh, and there’s also an interview with me about Havenkwartier Deventer in the same edition.

At a Premsela design forum in Milan on 22 April, prominent figures in the field will discuss the value of an alternative to recyling: repair.
Speakers including designers Piet Hein Eek and Satyendra Pakhalé, Hermès director of innovations Corinne Poux-Bernard, and Platform21 artistic director Joanna van der Zanden will share their views on the value of repair in the context of the global economic crisis. Author Marco Bevolo will moderate the discussion. Dutch Culture Minister Ronald Plasterk will introduce the event.
Held during Milan design week, the Premsela Design Forum takes Platform21’s current project, Platform21 = Repairing, as a point of departure. Platform21’s Repair Manifesto has been receiving attention in the media, and 20,000 copies will be distributed in Milan.
The forum will take place in Milan’s Romeo Gigli Café, which will also host exhibitions by ArtEZ and the Design Academy Eindhoven.
A photo (by Leo Veger) of my repaired Thonet chair is used to promote this event. Nice.
