My wife Manuela and I hosted – with the help of some friends in New York – an exhibition (called Made in Iran) in downtown Manhattan with the Iranian brothers Icy & Sot, two street artists who had just made the transition from Tabriz, their hometown in Iran, to New York – the city they had been dreaming of, where they would meet their friends, musicians, artists and skaters who had already left their country behind them – realizing that the impossibility of returning to Iran would b...

Diary of a Witness by Astrid Holleeder published today

27 October, 2017 - /nieuws/1689/diary-of-a-witness-by-astrid-holleeder-published-today.html

While Judas is the story about the decision to testify against her brother Willem Holleeder, Diary of a Witness is rather about the consequences of that far-reaching decision. What were the effects on the lives of the Holleeder family: on mother Stien, sister Sonja, the children and their partners, the grandchildren and above all: on Astrid herself? Diary of a Witness offers  us a glimpse into the life of someone who, out of necessity, has had to go into hiding and for whom no...

Onrechtvaardig? Yes!

5 July, 2017 - /blog/1436/onrechtvaardig-yes.html

Arme Marc Cavendish, en arme Peter Sagan, zeker, maar wij dienen hier zonder aanziens des persoons te erkennen dat élke grote sportwedstrijd haar reputatie bouwt met behulp van Grote Verhalen. En geen Grote Verhalen zonder drama, intrige, en onvoorspelbaarheid – dat is per slot van rekening toch wat wij (afijn, ik toch) willen. De legende van de Tour is rijkelijk gelardeerd met bedriegers, bedrogenen, smeerlappen en doden. Maar in de laatste jaren werden we niet verwend en het voorspelbar...

20 March, 2016 - /blog/444/evidently-john-cooper-clarke.html

Only the Americans Fekner and Hambleton and a few kids not older than fourteen at the time (Taki 183 being one of them) who are mentioned in the ‘classic’ Watching My Name Go By book (foreword by Norman Mailer!) in 1974, were prior to the sympathetic Dutchman. In 2008 Hugo's pioneering works were notably acknowledged by Mr Banksy himself, followed by his invitation to participate on the Cans Festival in Leake Street, London. Justice. Martin Hannett! How fucking legendary ca...

14 May, 2018 - /nieuws/2081/saskia-noort-s-stromboli-cover-is-a-visual-rebus-that-makes-you-puzzle.html

Stromboli’s nearly violently beaming cover is designed by Janet Hansen, who – as a senior designer for New York publisher Alfred Knopf – is responsible for many successful covers. ‘I’m always browsing for international book designers,’ Van Gelderen says, ‘and Hansen’s work caught my eye. Very stylish and graphic, but soulful too. She turned out to be open to working with us.’   Behind the exploding light on S...
