Amsterdam gebouwd op foto´s, interview met Jos Houweling en Martin Grooteboer
Interview met Jos Houweling en Martin Grootenboer over de foto-tentoonstelling in Arti et Amicitiae, die opent op 10 januari 2025.
De tentoonstelling toont foto´s van 1975 tot 2025 en geeft zo een beeld van de stad.
Interview door Hans Kuiper.
HET GEZICHT VAN DE STAD
Dat Amsterdam schilderachtig en fotogeniek is behoeft geen betoog. Zoals alle steden waar over liedjes worden gezongen heeft de stad een visuele eigenheid die haar soms meer personage dan stad maakt. De stad die fameus op palen is gebouwd, wordt in meer overdrachtelijke zin evenzeer gedragen door de beelden die er van haar door de tijd heen werden gemaakt. Wie heden ten dage op een zoekmachine de naam van de stad invoert krijgt het officiële portret van de stad te zien. Een bijna geheel ontvolkt decor, ideaal als achtergrond voor selfies en vakantie herinneringen. Dit is niet zoals de meeste bewoners de stad dagelijks zien.
AMSTERDAM GEBOUWD OP FOTO’S toont, als langs een tijdlijn, foto’s van de stad die de periode tussen 1975 en 2025 beslaat, en een beeld geven van de recente geschiedenis van de stad zoals die niet eerder in zulk een samenhang getoond werd. Met aandacht voor het schuwe, het onopvallende en het intieme dat, in een verzameling gevangen, patronen en een levenshouding laten zien die, meer dan die officiële paspoortfoto, het ware gezicht en wezen van de stad onthullen: de stad als speeltuin van haar bewoners, de bewoners als speelgoed van de stad.
Wat deze foto’s naast de afbeeldingen zelf tonen is dat de makers ervan deze stad en haar bewoners als eigen en zelfs rechtmatig eigendom beschouwen. Een manier van kijken die in haar onbevangenheid plaats biedt aan zo goed als alles en iedereen. Een liefdevolle- en bovenal democratische blik.
TERUGKIJKEN NAAR DE TOEKOMST
De tentoonstelling komt op een moment dat Amsterdam opnieuw een metamorfose aan het ondergaan is, met grote bouwkundige projecten enerzijds en een ingrijpende verandering waar het de samenstelling van de bevolking betreft. De eens zo rommelige maar ook toegankelijke stad is voor veel van haar bewoners onbetaalbaar geworden. De enorme toestroom van toeristen heeft grote delen van de stad ontzield en tot een cliché gemaakt.
Deze tentoonstelling laat zien dat dit geen onwrikbare werkelijkheid is. Dat het anders was, en dus ook anders kan. Door terug te blikken op de laatste vijftig jaar, kijken we ook vooruit. In welke richting beweegt de stad zich, en is dat de goede richting? Kunnen we anders leren kijken naar deze stad gebouwd op beelden en er dus anders over leren denken?

REVIEW: Sina Khani amazes with appearance in new film: "Sina Songwriter" and The Unsafe House publishes "Scorched Earth"
Out of the breaking up of the creative scandal factory which appears to be the fate of The Unsafe House, mr. Sina Khani is now popping up in a new film that will have its premiere August 27th, 2026. It seems he is not the director of it, but plays the main role.
Readers and listeners of Radio Neverno know they were the first ones being informed on inside information on the breaking up of the original Creeps From The Middle East Team, where all crew members and even actors have left main star Sina Khani behind, he ended up in The Unsafe House in Amsterdam, an initiative of Tarik Sadouma and Ruth Spetter.
Latest News was that Sina Khani, who worked and lived for at least 1.5 years in the dwellings of The Unsafe House, now is living with his girlfriend, we hope not out on the streets, desperately looking for a new house or appartment, but, for romantics, as a real artist, is still making movies. His new project: Sina Songwriter, premieres Aug. 27th and the trailer makes us curious: Is he the director or just the main actor or both?
Sina Khani seems to have managed to get a whole new team together or should we say a whole team has managed to get Sina Khani together and the resulting trailer promises a lot on the movie, it has this almost 90´s American feel to it, with a chewing gummed American voice over in a trailer as if we are looking to a new release of, let's say, Cheech and Chong or the like and are transported back to the top days of American B movies in the 1980´s and 1990´s.
Now we have much more , sensitive, information on the demeanors and challenges of Sina Khani, but we keep that, still, for ourselves. Our favorite Creep from the Middle East, as he is introduced in the trailer, manages to pop out in a new film every year now, and we start to admire him for that, also that he manages to get a pro team believing in his talents on this short term. How he did this, how he got employed in this apparently Dutch film making team we wanna and will find out soon again.
We hope, he is not really moving to one of the most dead cities in The Netherlands, Eindhoven.

MEMORIAL: At the demise of Steve Kurtz of the Critical Art Ensemble

"In the Wedding neighbourhood there is one gallery I think outstanding among the others and that is Art Laboratory Berlin. In one of my former posts I wrote about their exhibition in june 2009 with work of 'Ztohoven', a Czech art collective, which was already very interesting, because of its political intentions.
Art Laboratory Berlin seems to focus on what I prefer to call 'political art'; as one of the curators told me, they are working with themes and theme is now 'Art and Law'. The exhibition of work of Steve Kurtz is the latest one in this serie.
Steve Kurtz is an artist and professor of visual studies at the University at Buffalo in the USA. His 'Seized' is a documentation and installation based on his battle with the American justice department, that sued him for bioterrorism. He was accused of keeping illegal biological samples. For this the prosecutors messed up his house to find 'evidence' to could lead to a 20-year imprisonment, according to new laws on terrorism in the USA. After a long legal battle Kurtz was acquitted on all charges. The exhibition in Art laboratory Berlin is an installation based on these experiences, consisting out of video, sculpture, photography and text.
To understand the nature of the work, as the reader might not have visited the exhibition, it's necessary to know a bit more about the work of Steve Kurtz. I would describe his work as 'public interventions', using performances in the public space (which Kurtz denies to exist) to point out political issues. An important theme in his work is his analysis as Western society as being 'bunkerized', which means that there are institutions, public or 'pseudo public' as Kurtz calls it, where behaviour is strictly disciplined and disguises itself as an open public space, but in reality is strongly managed. Shopping malls are the clearest example of this, in the USA mostly privately owned, a phenomenon disseminating in 'Northern' societies (HK) (contemporary, industrialised, state-capitalist societies). But also the streets, squares and other public places are 'pseudo-public', as there is only space for a certain type of 'disciplined behaviour' (Kurtz doesn't refer to Foucault, but there are similarities in themes). Kurtz gives an example of 'free city' Amsterdam as a completely managed town, you are only welcome if you spend or do not disturb ' the consumer spending process' and this is exactly what is the aim of Kurtz' and his fellow artists. Important for the performances is to 'stay within the realm of the law', while unveiling the hidden strategies of commercial and state institutions.
Photo:Tim DeussenKurtz uses the word 'militarization' of the public space to describe the social intervention of state or private 'watchdog' officials, like police or guards, as soon as their strategies to colonize public space are threatened. "If there is more investment, there is more police" is a statement of Kurtz. "Circulation should not be bothered", that's why street musicians (at least in the USA, not in Amsterdam!) are left alone, as long as they attract people and 'enhance the circulation' and for example an artist of Kurtz' collective is banned by the police because of playing with model cars in a boulevard in Daytona Beach, USA.
An interesting example of a project Kurtz did was the one in Halifax, Canada: the 'Sorry project'. All spots in the town which where labeled with stickers to apologize for 'ugliness', like statues and certain buildings and all kind of 'various problems' bothering tourists. Kurtz describes it as a friendly action but still the harbour authorities where alarmed by 'gismo's ' and thought that it were 'suspicious objects'. They informed the police and the the police sealed off the whole area ("it's a bomb!"); this project was initiated just after the new terrorism laws: Kurtz was in trouble, because of the 'suspicious gizmo's' placed by Kurtz and his companions; although harmless, it resulted in a 'little overreaction' of the local police. Many projects of the Critical Art Ensemble, which Kurtz cofounded, end up in these kind of conflicts, that's why Kurtz is on some black lists in the USA now.
The Art Laboratory Berlin shows remnants of the project which bothered Kurtz the most: 'Seized'. The objects are resulting from a seizure of his house and belongings by the local authorities. Kurtz' wife had died and the local police found some suspicious biological samples that Kurtz had in his house for using in a project critically assessing biological research. Now Kurtz had been involved before in some projects concerned with re-enacting artistically 'biological warfare' programs from the sixties and he has earned a name as an artist in this realm; The police research resulted in Kurtz becoming a suspect of 'bio terrorism' and he had to fight for 4 years to prove his innocence. Being a professor at the Department of Visual studies at the University at Buffalo, Kurtz was lucky to get legal and financial support from his university to win this case. Kurtz states that if someone would have been charged without this backing, this person would have been 'in big trouble'; Kurtz sees himself as having been an 'ideal example' in the tensed 'after 911' situation in the USA, so that the governmental institutions tried to show they 'were in control'.
The projects Kurtz does are describable as political, interfering in a, according to Kurtz, non-existent public space, which, as mentioned above, is 'bunkerized', 'militarized' and where authorities structurally are breaking into civilian rights. Kurtz is annoyed by this situation and refuses to accept this. 'Nomadic intervention' is a self-chosen name for his actions; He is against the idea of monumentality in public space, as this blocks certain public spaces. That's why his interventions are temporarily. No artefacts are left, "people are left with the experiments". Bunkers, on the contrary, are described as 'friendly authoritarian space', shopping malls are another example of this. These bunkers are mostly objects of his interventions.
Photo: Tim DeussenThe exhibition is a residu of the actual actions-performances. Kurtz and his Critical Art Ensemble are politically motivated artists that work mainly outside the art institutions like musea and galleries though they exhibit there later on. Next to the actions they have published many books (downloadable via their website) where they lay out their theories."
Steve Kurtz exhibited in Art Laboratory Berlin, till 15/11/09.

RADIO MAKERS SPECIAL: Tetsuo Kogawa
Trash-art in the age of Digital Ash
Tetsuo Kogawa
In order to rethink the viability of "trash-art", Walter Benjamin's arguments on 'garbage/trash'(Abfall) and 'rag-picker'(Lumpensammler) are most stimulating. In the past I have called Benjamin's method a "technique of garbage collection"[1]. I dubbed it this considering Benjamin's idiosyncratic materialism that interprets beings as garbage/trash, his historical philosophy which views creation less as output than as rearrangement, and the movements in the methodology of semiotics and deconstruction that developed following Benjamin. In a letter to his friend Gershom Scholem (August 9, 1935), in which Benjamin explains the concept of his later "Passagenarbeiten" treatises, he comments that "this work uses surrealism philosophically and sublimates (aufheben) it, at the same time attempts to capture an image of history in those things that present existence (Dasein) most subtly fixed, in other words in the "garbage/trash" of present existence.[2]
Radical Surrealist montage technique was well-known to Benjamin, but his aim was to develop it into something more profound--a means of historical awareness. In his "Theses on the Philosophy of History," a condensed version of his view of history using montage techniques (or what William Burroughs would describe as "cutup") are the following words: "The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again."[3] That "image never seen again" is not an image from some great event, but an image that appears in the "waste" of no consequence, and those able to bear witness to it are not "heroes" or some class with special privileges, but the "oppressed."
In a review written by Benjamin in 1930 that passed virtually unnoticed, there is a brilliant passage which describes vividly what constituted his "technique of garbage collection." This is a review of "The Employee" (Die Angestellten), one of the early works of Siegfried Kracauer:
A rag-picker who picks up garbage early in the gray morning. Muttering darkly to himself, getting a bit drunk, he spears the remains of speeches and fragments of words with his stick, and throws them into his cart. Occasionally he picks up scraps of these hackneyed phrases like "human beings," "innerness," and "deepen," and flutters them contemptuously in the morning breeze. He is the morning garbage collector, but this morning is the morning of the day of the revolution.[4]
Kracauer, later in exile in New York and battling with extreme hardship and illness, analyzed the details of German film chiefly of the 1920s and 30s--the enormous "garbage of history"--and wrote "From Caligari to Hitler"(1947), which exposed incisively the collective unconsciousness that paved the way for Hitler's rise to prominence and was then flattened by the force of it.
To Benjamin, "garbage/trash" was the trivial part, the detail of enormous things, in other words, the minute. His mode of thinking was called "micrology". His attention to them was a stratagem in response to the movements of an era in which the will for power was still directed toward spatially enormous objects. The latter half of the twentieth century, however, is an era of "posts": "postindustrial," "postmodern," "postcolonial," "postnuclear," "postmassmediatique" . . . each in turn revolves on the axis of time and is sent on its way. Here, trivial things and minute things cease to be alternatives to the will for power, because not only does power itself no longer seek large things, it accepts the trivial and the minute. Therefore, "small is beautiful."
Theodor W. Adorno, while in one aspect having already adopted Benjamin's idea of "only through the details can we hope for a passage to the whole"[5] as his own mode of thought, also indicated to Benjamin his doubts about this method. To Benjamin, "garbage collection" not only gave form to a method of thought, it actually played an "important role" in the debate on the "passages" (arcades) of 19th century Paris. In a 1938 letter to Benjamin from exile in New York, Adorno made the following comment:
The problem is the rag-picker. To my mind the definition of the rag-picker as a marginal character personifying the very lowest level of poverty does not fulfil at all the promise of the term rag-picker when it appears in one of your texts. (abridged) I assume this shortcoming is related to the fact that the capitalist function of the rag-picker, i.e. the function that makes even beggars subordinate to their exchange value, is not made clear. Could I be reading too much into it all[6]?
Adorno, who was eventually to outlive Benjamin, was finally to write: "All post-Auschwitz culture, including its urgent critique, is garbage(Muell),"[7] and this demonstrates the pessimistic perceptions of Adorno in his belief that all "trivia," "details" and "minute things" are ashes and dust, and all that exists is endless ruin. The world would become not a "slum" littered with "garbage/trash" but would resemble a city after a nuclear attack, a ruin in which even the "details" cannot be discerned.
Benjamin's garbage collection technique directly supposes film montage. The reason his technique did not simply remain an application of the film technique known as montage is because he had a firm grasp of several techniques within the basic movements in thought and technology, i.e. the historical threads flowing into film montage--premodern storytelling, the 'rencontre fortuite' of surrealism, and even "quotations" of Berthold Brecht--and understood their meaning at the most basic of levels. However the digital technology that constructs virtually what does not really exist was not within the technological scope of Benjamin. Though things may be broken up, transformed into garbage and lose their wholeness, they do actually exist as extensions of the body. The electronic world of digital technology however, belongs to a level estranged from any extension of the body. This is, so to speak, the virtual "paradise" built on the "waste" and "ruins" of Adorno, and is "Utopia," literally no-place. Adorno's "pessimism" thus reverses itself into a positivism of electronic space.
Cyberspace is a no-place that nothing physical can exist. This is an ultimate form of garbage/trash where no body can survive. Art is an art that something physical flashes up at the instant over the space. Art can continue to exist only in the phase of time. Due to the cyberspace that exterminates physical element, live human body could reactivate itself in the temporal relation with it. Trash-art in the cyberspace will go to live action such as the live streaming.

In Memoriam: Mijn ontmoeting met Wim T. Schippers (door Hans Kuiper)
Wim T. Schippers bleek, tijdens de generale repetitie voor mijn Neoschlager-uitvoering, ook lid te zijn van kunstvereniging Arti et Amicitiae, waar hij met een serieus kunstwerk kwam opdagen bij de jaarlijkse Salon, een betegeld 3D-muurwerk van maar liefst 50.000 euro, inclusief vastgeklonken kop en schotel naar voorkeur gevuld met koffie, scheutje melk, 6 klontjes suiker en mét verguld lepeltje, een installatie van verbluffende schoonheid.
Het was wederom een opvallende bijdrage aan dit jaarlijkse hoogtepunt in het kunstleven van Amsterdam. Het ga je goed Wim T., die koffie was heel bijzonder van smaak, ik zal het nooit vergeten.

RADIO OP LOCATIE: Radio Neverno´s Hans Kuiper interviewt schrijfster Willy van der Griendt
Vrijdag 22 mei, 2026, 20.00-23.30 uur, Rokin 112, Amsterdam.
Persbericht:
In 2025 werd spontaan een nieuwe traditie in Arti in het leven geroepen! Op 11 april vond ‘De dateleedshow’ plaats. Willy van der Griendt, schrijver van het boek ‘Daten voor gevorderden’ werd geïnterviewd waarbij vele aspecten van het hectische datelandschap de revue passeerden. Na de pauze konden de aanwezigen zich oefenen in ‘kwaliteits-ontmoetingen’. Een langdurige speeddate ontstond en werd steeds onstuimiger, zodanig dat de Arti-voorzitter Jeroen Werner verzuchtte: ‘Dit is zo verrassend, dit zouden we veel vaker moeten doen!’
Op 22 mei willen we aan deze wens gehoor geven. In Dateleedshow 2.0 gaat Hans Kuiper van Radio Neverno met Willy van der Griendt in gesprek, waarbij we deze keer het interview naar een serieuzer niveau optillen. Het fenomeen daten verdient dat. ‘Leven tot je erbij neervalt, maar liever niet alleen. Of liever alleen, maar niet eenzaam. Hoe doe je dat?’
Nu we in het Westen steeds ouder worden (vrouwen gemiddeld 83,3 en mannen 80,7 jaar) willen we de vraag opwerpen of dit langere leven ons gelukkiger maakt of juist intense zorgen baart. Hoe sluiten oudere mensen vriendschappen en doen ze dat nog wel? Is er nog een plan of is oud worden iets wat je moet ondergaan? Zijn kunstenaars daarin anders en bevoorrecht omdat ze kunnen werken tot hun laatste adem en vaak in het harnas sterven? Of is ouder worden voor iedereen in deze individualistische maatschappij stomweg doodeng.Naast een diepgaand interview is er sprake van beeldmateriaal, een quiz en Q. en A. Na de pauze kan men weer aanvliegen op de lange tafels waar men ongegeneerd kan daten en versieren.
Hans Kuiper is kunstenaarslid van Arti et Amicitiae, maakt performatieve installaties en is initiator van Kunstruimte 411. Hij schrijft o.a. voor Articula en is oud-bestuurslid van Arti et Amicitiae. www.hanskuiper.com voor meer informatie over zijn projecten.
Willy van der Griendt (1950) is actrice, zanger en auteur. Ze speelde in een groot aantal toneelstukken, televisieseries en films en schrijft voor dagblad Trouw. In 2024 verscheen haar boek Daten voor gevorderden, een persoonlijk relaas van de oudere mens op zoek naar de laatste liefde. www.willyvandergriendt.nl
