On Saturday as I arrived at De Balie where De Hoeksten Live! takes place, I was told that Els van der Plas -who normally makes the art interviews- was sick and I was asked if I could interview Marsel Loermans and Anton Spruit my self. From one moment to another instead of coaching and standing next to "my artists" I became the one who would ask the questions. We solved it making it some kind of friendly conversation. We forgot the 'studio' and for the half an hour that the program lasted we were as if at home, talking to each other with a microphone in our hands. I had no idea of the time, no one was there to hurry me, and I didn't dare to look at my watch while I had the camera on me, that is why it lasts nearly 30 minutes.
We were very happy of the result, homely but very focused. Here is the link to the interview and start on minute 11'. If you have any trouble you can ask it "on demand": Salto; the "stream on demand"; and then searching date 26 January, at 23 hours 11 minutes and you start directly on the show.
Yesterday, just before the opening started, Mariette interviewed me on the choice of artists and photographs.
I said a few words...
and then I gave the microphone to Jody Cath who told a bit about the life of some of the photographed people. Nearly 100 persons saw the exhibition yesterday. Marsel, Anton and I were very satisfied.
At the end some friends stayed for a big bowl of pasta made by Hans. On the last photo is my friend Elena de Santis (LNA).
