Eight young infamous artists will show us their thoughts on fifteen years popular image culture. Interactive installations as a result. You can throw chairs or get back at your ex. Just let yourself go, feel no shame.
Woman in the Dunes was for many the grand unveiling of the surreal, idiosyncratic worldview of Hiroshi Teshigahara. Eija Okada plays an amateur entomologist who has left Tokyo to study an unclassified species of beetle that resides in a remote, vast desert; when he misses his bus back to civilization, he is persuaded to spend the night in the home of a young widow who lives in a hut at the bottom of a sand dune. What results is one of cinema’s most bristling, unnerving, and palpably erotic battles of the sexes, as well as a nightmarish depiction of everyday Sisyphean struggle.
The screening costs 4 euros and the show starts at 20:30 hrs.
Last Friday, Kind Regards hosted a new art show titled “Big Mother Earth” with artists Arnar Ásgeirsson, Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson and Jan s. Hansen. The Danish and Icelandic artists exhibited sculptures, video installations, and drawings that made reference to fairytales and sagas along with with morality and dualism. Tonight, the same artists are having a Publication release. Come around 22.00 and DJ Bush Doof will spin some jams. Art, dj, and drinks! Map here.
I love this photograph. Photographer Jeff Phillips takes black and white street photographs and develops the film in his kitchen sink. This picture looks like it was taken in the forties with the women in hats and men wearing classic suits. The preserved historical architecture in this city makes it really easy to replicate historical happenings though I’m pretty sure this photograph was taken last year for a modern wedding. Really beautiful.

The thirteenth annual Sonic Acts festival will be held from February 25- February 28. The festival combines the elements of art, space, and sound and attempts to answer these questions:
How is space defined by a work of art? What does a viewer or listener experience? How do technological artworks deal with the visual, auditory and psychological aspects of spatiality? How has the relationship between technology, space and architecture developed over the past few centuries? How have technological developments influenced our perception and representation of space, and how do we relate to the space that surrounds us?
Nature and Technology collides through this art and design exhibition at Club Trouw. The opening will be held on Friday February 19 from 18. 00 to 22.00. Tickets are 7.50 Euros and includes entrance to the Multiplex party after the show.
XOTL is by far my favorite Amsterdam blog. I know nothing about this guy but his almost daily drawings of Amsterdam life are always hilarious. He always points out the absurd occurrences and gezellig moments happening in this city.
An art festival about Japan in Amsterdam?! Yay. The Camera Japan Festival celebrates everything Japanese. There will be feature films, dance, anime, food, music, documentaries, exhibitions and even a cosplay cafe! It will be held from October 1-7 at the Melkweg and Kriterion.
This film called Tokyo! looks amazing! Playing Friday night at the Kriterion at 19.30.
