About: Nest is a meeting art spot to discover in The Hague.
In the relative short history of the exhibition space Nest, it has organized powerful thematic exhibitions, lectures and workshops and tries to reach a broad audience.
Nest is a contemporary art platform with a 400 m2 large exhibition space.

First television convention, #2

(Mini)Re-enactment of The First Television Convention (1978) of Raul Marroquín (also) at The Jan van Eyck Academy (JVE) of Maastricht, only during the KunstTour this weekend. Mini in size, 50 instead of 250 televisions, intensity, insanity and time.


Recently, installation and performance revisionism has taken over the art institutions . With the Marina Abramovic's show at the MoMA as the best example. Curators, art historians and art philosophers have found a new way of trying to re-direct the art path.

One of the performance re-enactments.

Curator Lene ter Haar from B32, talking about the origins of the First Television Convention.

They are the new art-cheologists, recovering and studying dusty attics and archives, gathering old material, and finding new 'Mc-Luchanist' reasons to the art works of the 60's and 70's.
The Jan van Eyck Acadamy is honouring the founders of the former Agora Gallery of Maastricht (1972-1985) where many of the video, fluxus, art mail and performance artists started their professional careers.

Theo van der Aa from Agora.

Artist Raul Marroquin, gallerist Sandra Stevens and Ger van Dijckfrom from Agora.

Jetty Iestra 2x, one of my favorites. I really enjoyed her show.

Nanda Milbreta, even without the sound (it was so soft that I could not hear it) it made a good image.


The Sun made me enjoy this installation 3x by Tom Abbink

Fieke Ypma, buttons and nails.

The rising star (as a teacher told me): Stephan van den Burg 2x.
His 21 ways to misspell my name I have seen it before by Vanessa Monokian.

Typography. I wish I had nostalgia for the building where I also studied.

Lisette Huizenga, better with inhabitants.

Royal Academy of The Hague: graduation show 2

Artist makes me think of artist:

Esther Nienhuis seems well inspired by Carla Klein

Sybren Renema probably without knowing but with a strong air of Martijn Fernandez Cordoba, a small deja vu from the exhibition at the academy in 1993.

Judith van Oostrum, makes me think of Andre Kruijsen, daring to transform a room and to hope on public's patience.
