Vlierbesbloesemlimonade

Gisteren werd ik er op uitgestuurd om vlierbesbloesemsiroop te gaan maken, aangezien het nu de beste tijd is om die te oogsten. Gewapend met een enorme pan (10 liter, zoeen waar je de was in kunt doen) en een schaar kreeg ik de opdracht de meest witte bloesem te knippen "en als de pan uitpuilt, dan stamp je t aan, vind zoveel mogelijk!". Mijn onstabiele tour ging over velden, door brandnetels, langs varkensstallen en over stenen wateroevers.
De oogst viel enigszins tegen maar het uiteindelijke resultaat was magistraal.

pluk 1 enorme pan met bloemetjes (let op de luizen!) vol
goed wassen (zeker 3x) het liefst zonder steeltjes
in een rvs pan met een zwaar bord erin zodat het goed is aangestampt
met water aanvullen tot de hoogte van het bord (tel de liters)
1 kilo suiker op 1 liter water erbij
citroensap erbij
snel a/d kook brengen
zeven

en dan drinken met spa rood

life is so sarcastic

IT"S ONE OF THOSE DAYS;

I woke up way too late by a textmessage
I did the laundry and found out that the most colourful items I posses are the yellow towels to whipe the sink
I tried soooo hard to start, but until 2.00 am the only thing I was activating was the word-document ... in which I was supposed to double the words... the only thing I doubled was the amount of liquorice I was munching
I could only seriously start my after my second glass of wine (at 1.59 am I finially gave in to my needs)

there's nothing on the radio and tomorrow it's gonna rain
cheers.

NEON ART

(Kauf dich glücklich, Berlin.)

Ever since, I've always been attrackted to neon. It's cheap, it's tacky, it got a very American appearance, it's everything I don't like. And I'm highly attrackted to things I don't like. Things I don't like trigger a strong reaction and that's in fact, exactly, what I do like. 

Neon in an art-sense makes an even better impression on me because then I've got something to interpretate. Neon graphic design art is my favourite combo; and I've started a little collection-project on that. (I prefer doing projects; they are better than events in my opinion. Events are short-timed and limited, while projects are more open minded and open ended.) 

Things have been done with neon in art history, Dan and Joseph and their minmalistic movement companions... And although they are highly interesting, they are not so contemporary anymore... I like to look in the now, what is happening? Actually the thing that triggered me to writing this, were some pamflets around the city regarding a work by Tracy Emin.

some collected, musealized neon; 

(cerith wyn evans)

Of course it is cool to spot neon-art in a museum or gallery, but it is even cooler if you spot potential art outside the institutes. I am always scouting for those neon signs, that weren't intended to be art, but in fact could be when they've been put in a museum-setting (how Duchampian of me..). When you cut them out of their daily context they can be seen as art, the barbershop sign could be art... pure street-art!

This party is old and uninviting.


Participants all in black and white.


You enter and close the door behind you.
Now show me the world as seen from the stars.


So thank you for being that kind of girl.

INSTALLATION ART

apIn a new seminar they asked 'what kind of art are you interested in?', well installation art is right on top of my list. This was my #1 fav art piece I've seen in 2010.
