Crashed Plane
Made by jaccodotorg
Joost Conijn Solo - March 3, 2007 - May 6, 2007 in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Rotterdam - The wreckage of the selfmade airplane is hoisted into the inner garden of the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. After its maiden flight late 1999 in the middle of a Moroccan desert the artist also flew the plane in Czech Republic. In an attempt to stay clear of high-voltage powerlines Joost Conijn crashed the plane. Nobody got hurt but the plane was damaged beyond repair. Now it's part of an exhibition showing films and other creations by the Dutch artist. A wood-burning car, a self-constructed aeroplane and a bicycle that rides backwards. Joost Conijn (Amsterdam, 1971) builds vehicles and travels with them to the fringes of 'modern' civilisation. He records his experiences and encounters along the way on video. The people he comes across take him, his vehicle and his camera to their hearts. The viewer thus gains access to an unconventional reality that is at once infectious and confrontational. www.boijmans.nl Joost Conijn *1971, lives in Tilburg and Amsterda Airplane, 2000, video film, 28 min Ever since his childhood, Joost Conijn has been travelling the world. He never misses a chance to go somewhere. What fascinates him in his travels is the meaning of transportation and situations that travelling leaves imprinted on his mind. When he was 20, he reached as far as India by bicycle, and two years ago he got his flying licence. And this is in fact the point of departure for the work he presents at Manifesta 3. It starts with an uncontrollable urge to fly. He produces concrete objects, mostly made of metal, and most of which are functional. He uses iron, motorcycles and bicycles as literal extensions of his body, and video as the narrative extension of his appearance. He is constantly asking himself where the human body ends and where the machine begins. His work is centred on the elements common to man and machine, as well as on relations between society and art. At the same time, he investigates the frontiers that go beyond mental and cultural tenets. He is primarily interested in experimentation and risk-taking and in the realisation of impossible projects, particularly those projects which are considered unfeasible by most people. His plans are always brief and simple, formulated with a few words. The realisation of these projects means months of work and learning experiences involving the most diverse events and challenges. He uses the objects and opportunities that are offered to him in his project. He comes to situations with the broadest of horizons, so that both the work process and the final result are revealed without any great complications. In 1999 Joost Conijn was building an aircraft. He exhibited it on the roof of De Fabriek in Eindhoven. The true meaning of the aircraft is not in its artistic value, but rather, in its functionality, as the aircraft was built with the performance of its primary function in mind - namely, flying. The artist scheduled its maiden flight for late 1999 in the middle of a Moroccan desert. The desert as a space excites him particularly, due to its vast landscape, the infinite space and total boundlessness. And the desert is also a space where there is nothing - no houses and no rules. The Sahara was thus the closest space for unhindered testing of the aircraft. The entire process from design, its installation on the rooftop of De Fabriek, testing of its functions, the transport - including all the vicissitudes of travel to and across the Sahara - and finally the first flight tests were recorded by the artist on film. www.manifesta.org

Baby Ed trägt ein Motörhead-T-Shirt und einen Armreif am Oberarm. Er sitzt auf einem hellen Sofa und blickt grimmig in die Kamera. Auch ein Bad in den Juwelen, die Phillips de Pury & Company am 17. Mai in Genf versteigern, bringt ihn nicht in Glücksstimmung. Um so mehr verzücken diese Aufnahmen von Jürgen Tellers sechs Monate altem Sohn die Kunst- und Werbeszene. Sie zieren den Auktionskatalog, den der Fotograf in einer bislang einmaligen Zusammenarbeit mit Phillips gestaltet hat. Wir haben Jürgen Teller eine Carte Blanche gegeben, sagt Simon de Pury, Inhaber des Auktionshauses. Teller ist bekannt für optische Skandale. Die Ästhetik der Makellosigkeit interessiert ihn nicht. Bei ihm gibt es keinen abgestandenen Glamour konventioneller Inszenierungen. www.welt.de - Die Welt - 8. Mai 2005


Maurizio Cattelan @ Boijmans Van Beuningen Rotterdam
Made by jaccodotorg
In Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam Maurizio Cattelan gives a scathing commentary on the Old Art collection. A figure crawling out of a hole in the floor - a look-alike of the artist himself, slightly younger though. He is about to crawl out of a hole in the floor of the classics gallery . He looks in a sharp way at a painting of the 19th century master Koekoek. His hands rest in line on the edge of the hole. A lucid lash at the established order in the most literal sense of the word. The obvious solemn authority of the Old Art is ironised in a subtle way. By this gesture the visitor is stimulated to look in an innovative way at what is shown to him, in and outside the museum. Cattelan's work can be seen in the museum's permanent setup for the next few years. source: www.boijmans.nl

B-Set
Made by Bart van Damme
B-Set by designer Hella Jongerius Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, the Netherlands Year: 1997 Material: Porcelain, glaze By firing the clay at too high a temperature, each element deforms slightly. The imperfect set of tableware is one of the first designs in which individuality is created within serial production, an important theme in Jongerius’ work. B-Set was the first porcelain to be produced by Royal Tichelaar Makkum (until 1999 the company had focused only on earthenware and stoneware). B-Set also marks the start of the company’s contemporary design collection, and of its close collaboration with Jongerius.

August 2011 in photos: Day 30 - noise what first appears as confusion may actually be the natural order of things. one has to settle, empty the clutter and prepare to see. we can awaken fresh eyes to the patterns, colors and textures in our world. sometimes we're simply lucky when a new element appears to dispel the confusion in a flash. It's magic. (Listen to Dutch artist Wieki Somers describe her Merry-Go-Round functional art installation).


Curve Line Square
Made by ®DS
The entrance square of the Boijmans van Beuningen museum in Rotterdam. It's floor features a black and white pattern of concentric stripes painted on concrete. This concrete has a terrible granular pattern of small stones mixed in, which effectively distracts from the stripes. That is why I deliberately took this picture out-of-focus returning attention to the over-all pattern. By doing so the shift in floor height on the right is rendered more clearly.

Your Mind To Zer0
Made by ®DS
When inside room it's hard to take pictures. Actually, it's hard to do anything at all but gaze at this environment. What comes to mind when you stand there is that nothing should come to mind in a room like that. That's why I set my mind to zer0, only to produce this picture. Info & links right here.
