Glow Off 2012 Eindhoven
Glow Off
In veel steden tref je culturele projecten aan, ondersteund door de overheid, waar omheen zich in de loop der tijd kleine / particuliere initiatieven vormen.
Dat kan in de loop der jaren uitgroeien tot iets groots. Het zgn. “Off circuit”. Denk aan: Avignon, Edinburg.
Het plan
Wij willen polsen of creatieve Eindhovenaren, tijdens de afsluitende avond van Glow 2012 en de daaropvolgende glowloze dag, (dus alleen 17 en 18 november) met eigen initiatieven kunnen komen. Aansluitend op “Glow” wordt dat dus “Glow Off”De artistieke inhoud
Heel simpel. Rond of in het eigen huis, atelier, straat, vereniging , school etc. een lichtwerk creëren van welke aard dan ook. Als het maar a) op je site wordt vermeld en b) de locatie voor die twee dagen (zaterdag 17 en zondag 18 november) te vinden is. Immers, misschen willen andere Eindhovenaren naar aanleiding van de publicatie op je website, ook daadwerkelijk komen kijken.Tip
Het officiele thema van Glow dit jaar is “facades and faces”. Maar voel je volledig vrij voor je eigen thema.Organisatie
Initiatiefnemers: Halina Witek, Arno Huibers, Kim Meijers en Frans Dillen.Vooralsnog komt er geen officiële organisatie met vergaderingen, bestuursfuncties, lidmaatschapsgelden en wat al niet meer. Niks van dat alles. We starten eenvoudig via DSE en social media. Zie ook: Glow Off website

Vervolgens nog een paar schijnbewegingen naar Luna, want alle muizen in huis zijn van hem!

Tafelgesprekken
Tafelgesprekken.
Woorden zijn als bubbels, ze lossen op, springen uit elkaar en zweven weg, ze verdwijnen onder de tafel en blijven daar hangen.
Woorden kruisen elkaar,van links naar rechts,door elkaar heen, spraakverwarring alom
Woorden zijn geluid
Woorden zijn niet altijd wat ze zijn. Wat boven tafel gebeurt, verdwijnt weer onder de tafel en zoekt een eigen uitweg.

Light
There are two ways of spreading light, to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

Joshua Bell playing violin in DC Metro Station. Please Stop and Hear the...
Om even bij stil te staan....
This is so awesome. Please take a moment to read:
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

Horen, voelen en ruiken
Nu had ik afgelopen week wel leuk zitten stippen in het Art Journal, maar dat was natuurlijk enkel de ondergrond. Vanochtend ben ik verder gegaan.

Kat en muis
Zowaar, er is weer ergens een muis te voorschijn gekomen. En als hij hiermee bezig is, blijf ik wel uit zijn buurt. Opeens is de altijd vriendelijke Bommel veranderd in een hoopje bont met pootjes die alle kanten opmeppen met hele scherpe nagels...
