Sometimes a concert is impressive. And sometimes I write about stuff. And sometimes these two go together really well. This time I was invited by Kicking The Habit to write about a concert I visited yesterday: Ryuichi Sakamoto + Alva Noto in the Catharina church in Eindhoven. I did so this morning. You can read it here (in Dutch).

Some time ago I outlined a basic idea (involving T-shirts) for the ODE2MUM project in a brainstorm session with Claire Bolt, the project leader. I also introduced her to some relevant partners, like Sander op den Dries of Studio Wonder and Jonathan Tan of FATA. Yesterday (Mother’s Day) I was at a presentation in Kunstenlab and the project seems to have worked out great. I also discovered that Claire was kind enough to thank me in the ODE2MUM booklet for my input in the project. Nice.

The previous website of Havenkwartier Deventer was primarily aimed at art and culture in the area and the creative businesses based there. Now that the development of the Havenkwartier area is getting up to steam, there was a need for more.
On www.havenkwartierdeventer.com you’ll find (in addition to plenty of art & culture) more information about living and working in Havenkwartier Deventer. You can also reach the ‘Culture’ section of this new website through the old domain www.havenkwartier.org.
We now say goodbye to the previous corporate identity of Havenkwartier Deventer, designed by Bart Folmer and also to the previous website, developed by me. The new corporate identity is co-created by: Bestwerk, Studio Wonder and Studio Bart Folmer. The new website was built by Dicode. I have only been instrumental in the development of the new website and in the decision-making process of the corporate identity.
This means I am no longer in charge of the technical aspects of the Havenkwartier website, but I am however still in charge of (half of the) content. I am now officially editor for the Culture and Recreation sections of the new website. The other editor is the municipality of Deventer. I also have (a very limited amount of) time to spend on communication and marketing for these sections.
Oh well. Interesting developments.

It’s that time of the year again. Everybody who’s into music is making and/or reading lists. I usually try to keep as far away of listmaking as possible (what’s the use), but for Studio Playlists by Ron van der Ende I gladly make an exception again. It’s getting to be a yearly tradition. Check out all this great music played by artists in their studio’s again this year! My little list is here (in random order).
Check back often, because many more playlists are likely to surface here in the coming weeks. Tracking back to previous years is also interesting.

Some time ago the illustrious linguistic duo of absurdities and explicit humor De Bubbelebim wrote a script about me. Yes. About me, Harco Rutgers. I was invited to come and star in their new moviescript (as myself). How could I refuse…
I understand the official premiere was at Cinepeter some time ago, when I was off relaxing in France. Too bad I couldn’t be there. Anyway, here it is. I’m quite honoured to now be part of the Bubbelebim omniverse. Don’t forget to check the entire body of De Bubbelebim‘s extensive oeuvre when you’re done watching this gem!
