Interview met Henk Wijnen en Wim van Sijl

 (Foto: Terra Lases)

Interview met kunstenaars Henk Wijnen en Wim van Sijl over hun projekten, met name over de "Strasse des Friedens". Dit interview werd gedaan voor Articula, het kunstmagazine van Arti et Amicitiae.

De Strasse des Friedens is een project bestaande uit sculpturen-routes over geheel Europa, een idee dat al uit de jaren ´30 stamt. Een zeer actueel thema.

Aan het einde van het interview komt de 9 mei-herinneringsbijeenkomst in Berlijn aan de orde waar zowel stands van Oekraiense als Russische organisaties stonden, vreedzaam zij aan zij, bij het Treptower Monument, dat gebouwd werd ter herinnering van de gevallenen uit de Sovjet-Unie. 9 mei is vergelijkbaar met 4 mei in Nederland, een nationale herinneringsdag voor gevallenen. Dat blijkt ook in Berlijn een grote hoeveelheid bezoekers te trekken. Russen zijn, na de Turken, de een na grootste immigranten-groep in Berlijn.

Interviewer: Hans Kuiper.

Mei 2024, Amsterdam.

Voertaal: Nederlands.

1 EN 1 IS 1, interview met Jos Houweling en Anne Verhoijsen

 INTERVIEW MET JOS HOUWELING EN ANNE VERHOIJSEN

Jos Houweling en Anne Verhoijsen zijn al geruime tijd samenwerkende kunstenaars. Ze sturen elkaar sinds enkele jaren foto´s, tekeningen en schilderijen die ze om de beurt bewerken en zo ontstaat er gaandeweg een gezamenlijke collectie.

Omdat deze manier van werken, het samenwerken, hun erg bevalt en nieuwe perspectieven doet openen, hebben ze besloten een grote expositie te organiseren en daarvoor professionele beeldend kunstenaars te vragen om, in duo´s, samen te werken.

Ze hebben eerst een eigen tentoonstelling in de´art space´ van Arti et Amicitiae, de kunstvereniging in Amsterdam, waarbij ook hun nieuwe boek wordt gepresenteerd, AJ13, en daarna een grote tentoonstelling op de bovenzalen met tientallen kunstenaars. 

De kunstenaars zijn geselecteerd vanuit hun netwerken en worden dus gevraagd samen een werk te maken, geen sinecure, aangezien veel kunstenaars vaak gewend zijn alleen te werken en controle te houden over hun ´eindproduct´. Het vergt nogal wat aanpassings- en incasseringsvermogen.

Het interview is afgenomen door Radio Neverno´s Hans Kuiper, een van de oprichters van de podcast radio, een station dat bestaat sinds 2015. Eerdere reportages en interviews zijn te beluisteren op deze podcast/blog.

De tentoonstelling ´1 en 1 is 1` loopt van 17 mei tot en met 29 juni 2024 in Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam.

Kunstruimte 411 organiseert een nieuwe tentoonstelling in Haarlem "Haphazard" i.s.m. een groep kunstenaars rond curator Gabriel Kousbroek. 

Kousbroek, de curator:

"Ik kwam op het idee dat wat ons als kunstenaars bindt de vrije associatie is.

Daarom bedacht ik een kunstenaarsgroep naam: De Vrij(e) Associatieven.

Zonder manifest ben je nergens tegenwoordig en als naam voor de Groepssexpo voldeed het ook al niet.

Toen kwam Martyn F. Overweel met Haphazard wat staat voor Lukraak, ik kon zo gauw niets beters verzinnen

en zo zijn we tot dit beeldend inzicht gekomen."

Opening: zaterdag 11 februari 2023, 14.00-18.00 uur

Radio Neverno is an art podcast station. At this blog you can listen to podcasts produced since 2015. Most shows were recorded live at art events.

We started at the exhibition 'Tomorrow never knows' on invitation of Arti et Amicitiae, the art association in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We, that is Moritz Ebinger and me, Hans Kuiper. We both were already experienced independent radio initiators, Moritz with Radio Rood and me with several projects in the art domain in The Netherlands and Germany (Radio Rietveld, my own Radio 3x3, Herbstradio, Piradio Berlin, 2005-2015).

Installed in the atelier of artist Bernd Trasberger in Berlin, where I can stay a couple of days, today it's the day of the Berlin Biennale opening. For June, it's quite warm, around 30 degrees Celsius, but I am lucky to be able to take the bike to visit all the Biennale venues.

Radio 3x3 (KIK residence, NL)

Installation in the KW Sousterrain


First, the official preview for the press and other invited guests of this event that will last for 3 months. After a word of welcome by the organisation the curatorial staff explains the approach of this years show with the theme 'We don't need another hero', a title taken by the Tina Turner song of the 80's. Main curator is Gabi Ngcobo, a South African curator, her cv you can find here.
She formed a curatorial team existing of Nomaduma Rosa Masilela, Seruberi Moses, Thiago de Paula Souza and Yvette Mutumba.

Curatorial Statement

'We don't need another hero' has been chosen as a title for what the curators consider a strategy to deal with the 'actually spread condition of a collective psychosis', referring to probably international racial and immigrational fixations in current politics and media (this is not so clearly mentioned in the curatorial statement). "The participants face the current ongoing fears and worries in our time - fears that are multiplied by the neglect of complicated subjectivities". To deal with inner conflicts and accepting them as enduring entities is one of the themes of the Biennale of 2018. The "School of Anxiety" is one of the curatorial projects by Serubiri Moses, next to 'Strange Attractors' by Nomaduma Rosa Masilela, an "exercise in uncertainty". How to deal with these fears and anxieties? The longing to solve it by clinging to an international heroic figure is rejected, instead of that wish, the curators state 'the political potential of strategies of self preservation'. "Strict knowledge systems and standardised historical narratives" though are rejected not to be the solution also. "Alternative configurations of knowledge and power, that accept contradictions and complications" are preferred.

Installation of Sinethemba Twalo and Jabu Arnell in the KW top floor

I know more or less what is meant and there will be a whole body of thought and theory behind it (unfortunately I didn't see a  literature overview), maybe rooted in experience that will be practically unknown to me, as a 'white' European male, university schooled, with a degree from a prestiguous art academy in Europe, who was able to travel and develop a vision on contemporary art and democratic politics, from a Western perspective, and always having lived in a reasonable affluent society, with many opportunities to be grabbed for a middle class kid at 18.

But why do I get a feeling at the presentation that the curatorial narrative of the current Biennale is rather aggressively blaming the exclusive mindsets of a Western professional artistic class that I do understand but of which, even as an artist, am not really a part of? Ngcobo is even using the phrase "We are in war", seemingly meaning a war of narratives battling for dominance in the professional, institutional art context and thereout, a battle between a postcolonial, African or Euro-post-African (art) elite, trying to conquer the art discours and fighting a class of Western curators that might have had a one eyed view on art slightly too long, being embedded too much in the dominant worldview on accumulation and exploitation on a world scale (as in a famous book of sociologist Samir Amin) and its concomitant symbolic systems, in jargon: 'narratives'?


The claim seems to be stretched to the whole Western , colonial, civilisation, in its past Eurocentric narratives (that need to be reappropriated) and the current post colonial "West", though. Or course I know, in economy and politics, there are still multinational companies, backed by their governments, intervening on a permanent big scale to grab natural resources and waging war when necessary and using cultural dominant narratives that deny the articulation of oppressed groups. Attacking these classes and mind sets would be a bit more specific of the curators although those narratives may be omnipresent in media, educational institutes and even contemporrary art. Now, even a struggling artist or curator who happens to be born in Europe or the Usa, might be part of 'that' mind set, so the not outspoken assertion suggests, as if no resurrections and oppositional movements ever took place in 'The West' and 'revolutionary' views and approaches in the artistic realms never were there. Or is the statement of curator Ngcobo in particular directed against neo colonial mind sets? I guess so, but how do I find out? Not in the curatorial statement which uses terms that are not specified too much.

Video installation in ZK/U

Luckily, when you roam through the exhibition spaces, the artists themselves seem to have focused on their work, not seeming too busy with the discours or narrative battle of Ngcobo's fight going on over their backs. Of course 'we', and I mean we, the artists, whether we are European or African rooted, or both, we, in the end have to make the works that fit our minds and, in the end, are more or less influenced by this 'war'... I think the curator's statement at the press and invited's preview was more of a provocative media statement and I am eager to find out more on the intellectual background of it.

ZK/U is a relatively recently subsidized art space in a former industrial area in the Moabit neighbourhood.

Kunst-verkiezingsdebat hier te beluisteren PODCAST

Het Kunst-verkiezingsdebat dat op 8 maart 2018 gehouden werd in Arti et Amicitiae is hier te beluisteren.

Sprekers zijn (in deze volgorde): Joram Kraaijeveld van het Platform Beeldende Kunst en Bart Stuart van W139 en 'FairCity'.

Deelnemende politici zijn van de SP, GroenLinks, D66, VVD en PVDA.

Het debat werd georganiseerd door Hans Kuiper en Renee Hartog.

DEEL 2

UPDATE Het kunst-verkiezingsdebat in Arti et Amicitiae op 8 maart 2018

8 Maart 2018: Het Kunst-verkiezingsdebat in Arti et Amicitiae,

Radio Neverno doet verslag van dit debat en zal het integraal opnemen en als podcast op deze website plaatsen.

De opzet van het debat is als volgt: het bestaat uit twee gedeelten:

Na een welkomswoord wordt het eerste deel ingeleid door een spreker uit het kunstdomein, Joram Kraaijeveld, voorzitter van het Platform Beeldende Kunst. Hij gaat dieper in op thema's die volgens hem momenteel spelen, zoals het atelierbeleid, ik citeer:

" De (werk)ruimte voor kunstenaars en creatieven staat onder druk; ateliers worden duurder, schaarser en flexibeler. Er is coherent gemeentebeleid nodig met betere afstemming tussen de verschillende gemeentelijke afdelingen, bijv. vastgoed en cultuur: zodat de gemeente haar eigen doelstellingen van het behoud van de IJzeren Voorraad kan behalen. Daarnaast kan door kunstenaars meer heft in eigen handen te geven beter aan de vraag naar creatieve werkruimtes worden voldaan. Dit maakt het atelierbeleid effectiever en meer duurzaam en zo kan kapitaalvernietiging - waar het huidige broedplaatsenbeleid te weinig rekening mee houdt - worden voorkomen."

Onderwerpen die naast zijn verhaal nog meer aan bod komen zijn, naast ateliers, gemeentelijk vastgoed, corporatiebezit en hoe kunstenaars van alle generaties (nog) kunnen wonen en werken in de stad en de rol van diverse kunstinstellingen.

Na zijn inleidend verhaal kunnen de aanwezig gemeenteraadskandidaten Zeeger Ernsting (GroenLinks), Claire Martens (VVD), Marcel van den Heuvel (D66), Nicole Temmink (SP) en Hendrik-Jan Biemond (Pvda) hun visie geven, mogelijk met verwijzing naar beleid zoals dat de afgelopen jaren is vormgegeven en de plannen voor de komende periode.

Hierna komt er een eerste plenair debatdeel waar, naast Joram, ook andere aanwezigen vragen kunnen stellen.

Vervolgens is er een korte pauze.

Na de pauze is er een tweede inleider, Bart Stuart, bestuurslid van W139, kunstenaar en mede-initiator van 'FairCity'. Hij kijkt meer naar de wenselijke toekomst. Hoe gaat Amsterdam ervoor zorgen dat de komende jaren kunst, met name in het centrum, zichtbaar en bereikbaar blijft voor de Amsterdamse bevolking en er rekening gehouden wordt met kunstenaars in de stad?

Ook hierop wordt daarna aan de gemeenteraadskandidaten gevraagd hun visie en mening te geven waarna een tweede plenaire debatgedeelte volgt.

De debatleiding is in handen van Renee Hartog, politicologe en onder meer werkzaam voor Arti et Amicitiae.

Organisatie: Hans Kuiper en Renee Hartog.

Interview met kunstenaar en spreker op kunstdebat Bart Stuart

Een van de gast-sprekers bij het kunst-verkiezingsdebat op 8 maart 2018 in Arti et Amicitiae is kunstenaar/ organisator Bart Stuart. Radio Neverno interviewde hem eerder over W139 en de stand van zaken aangaande kunst in Amsterdam. Voor de liefhebber dit interview, dat werd opgenomen in 2015.
