meeting the aleph*

...‘so now’, she said, ‘you must really start to tell me about yourself.’

About a month ago we witnessed the first re-appearance of the Aleph. We’re very happy to introduce our guests for the second event in this new series:

— artist Rosa Johanna;
— artist Rutger Emmelkamp;
— artist and writer Miek Zwamborn.

For those of you who hear about this initiative for the first time: between 2009 and 2011, Jasper Coppes and Roos van den Eerenbeemt organised a series of talks, readings, and presentations, usually hosted in the living rooms of friends, under the name Meeting the Aleph. We (Jasper and Roos, along with Phil Baber and Stijn Verhoeff) have decided to revive Meeting the Aleph, this time with our studio at KNSM-Laan 167 as the location. Our intention is to create a space where friends and acquaintances can share work, ideas, research, interests, etc., without the pressure associated with more formal or institutional settings.

The meeting will be held this coming Sunday the 17th of December. We will open at 12.30, and there will be some food and drinks. The presentations and discussions will start at 13.30 and end at around 16.00.

open call

In het voorjaar van 2018 zullen componist/muzikant Sjoerd Leijten en kunstenaar/schrijver Stijn Verhoeff resident zijn bij Kunsthuis SYB. www.kunsthuissyb.nl

Voor hun filmproject IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE zijn zij op zoek naar geschreven verhalen over de toekomst. Heeft u ideeën over hoe de toekomst er uit zal zien? Heeft u voor ogen wat er met het landschap is gebeurd? Hoe de mensen met elkaar spreken? Waar men in gelooft, welke rol de dieren op zich hebben genomen of hoe de technologie zich heeft ontwikkeld? Schrijf dan een monoloog, dialoog of groepsgesprek van maximaal 2000 woorden.

Richtlijnen zijn: a) het gesprek vindt in het heden plaats en gaat over de toekomst, b) de verbeelding van een mogelijke toekomst staat centraal, c) het kan een impressie zijn en hoeft geen uitgewerkt verhaal met karakterontwikkeling of plot te zijn, d) de tekst hoeft geen complete, coherente wereld te verbeelden, maar mag één onderwerp belichten (bv. de toekomst van het platteland, de relatie met het verleden, een nieuwe ideologie, interseksualiteit, eten, …), e) het gesprek vindt op een eenvoudige plek plaats (bv. in het café, op zolder, tijdens een wandeling door het bos) en f) de tekst kan zowel in het Nederlands als in het Fries geschreven worden (bij een Friese tekst s.v.p. een korte synopsis in het Nederlands).

Voor vragen mail Stijn Verhoeff: svff@protonmail.com

socratic dialogues

Dear Friend,

after a summer full of inspiration and relaxation, we want to start the new year well by coming together again!

Some might be familiar with the format of the Socratic dialogues, for others it might be new. In any case, Wouter Klein Velderman will introduce and lead the dialogues. Don’t worry tough, you don’t need to be a philosopher at all.

We have two dates coming up: Sunday 27th of Augustus and Sunday 24th of September. Both days we come together at KNSM-laan 167 and start at 16.00 hours. The dialogues will take 2 to 3 hours.

Do you want to join? Please let us know (we have place for 10 people each date). Or do you know somebody who might be interested? Feel free to forward.

All the best,
Wouter and Stijn
