No art here.
When participating in the Leerling/Meester project @ Kunstpodium T. Me, Marius Ritiu, Christian Bors and Laura Aranda found ourselves in a temporary collective. Determined to make the best show ever, we started working on a shared project. The main idea was to present nothing else but the free food and drinks, but present it on [...]
Culture!
Queensday 2010, a great day isn’t it! We strolled down the centre of Den Hague with our patented portable studio and showed some perfect selfs. The question arises, what exactly is the connection with the queen in this? A project by : Ehsan Fardjadniya, Sandim Mendes and Koert Jobse Check it out on trots.tumblr.com and [...]
unBlurrr
TENT. Rotterdam had an exposition named “Blurrr”. It was about the multidisciplinary artist and had a lot to do with Nicolas Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics. They invited the 3rd year class from two academies to add to the show with works for one day. After the lecture sessions, me and my group concluded the relational aestheticism [...]
Action Managing
The show in Artis showed it’s activist character abundantly across town so I expected guests to be interested by that. The discussions with the audience seemed very interesting to me, however, I had the problem of a short time-span that I also had to use to work. That is why I put up a desk [...]
Tribune
This work is inspired by a assignment I got through my 2nd year Stadslab (Public Space Program). It challenged us to use a certain area as a stage. I started working near the Kralingse Plas, a park with a lake at it’s centre. The specific location where I build my project has a fantastic view [...]
Intervention
In a bureacratic environment like today, a lot op people find themselves confronted by things they don’t grasp/don’t like but still need to cooperate with. This not liking/not understanding however is not a reason sufficient enough to start protest, so the relations of power won’t show either. This is probably because a lot of the [...]

Open Atelier, Pallet edition
The Art in the City minor program reserved a workspace for us in the centre of Rotterdam (Wijnhaven). Our project is to build up an Open Atelier from pallets. This creates the possibility to not only work in, but also work on the atelier itself. Soon more information about the construction and the workshops. Photos [...]
State of affairs
The Art in the City minor gave us an unique opportunity to work on a large scale project in the centre of Rotterdam. However, to surpass the assignment, and with it the hierarchical based education, we needed to organise the self-centered individuals in this program. If we did this, we could take control not only [...]
Public Toilets
On the biggest pile of sand in the world, doing your numbers isn’t so easy. There, the prehistoric technique of digging a hole in the ground and squatting above it is still part of the way of life. It keeps the island looking clean and smelling fresh but also prevents the danger of curious dingo’s [...]
Safety
A crisis is hitting the heart of our society, the financial sector, and at the same time climate change is threatening us more than ever. The question how to secure oneself in times like these is not an easy one, nothing is guaranteed, your own worth is on the line. But here is a way [...]
