Restoration Keith Haring mural

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″ padding_bottom=”custom-padding” custom_padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]The mural by Keith Haring at the Foodcenter in Amsterdam-West will be restored next year. In the past years, many have worked for the visibility and conservation of this special work.

Haring painted the mythical animal in 1986, eight years later, it disappeared behind a metal façade. During the rediscovery in 2018 the wall painting turned out to be in a reasonable condition. Experts established that restoration was necessary to preserve the work for the future. That is why a restoration plan was drawn up this year and a number of parties involved agreed on the funding.

The Keith Haring Foundation, the municipality of Amsterdam, and project developer Marktkwartier (collaboration between VolkerWessels Vastgoed and Ballast Nedam Development) each contribute one third to the total costs of approximately € 180,000. The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is closely involved as an advisor and one of the initiators of the restoration.

We are honoured to have been commissioned by the municipality of Amsterdam and the Stedelijk Museum to make a small contribution in the preparatory fase, with a plan of action. Coming spring, we will be supervising the restoration.

Colourful exhibition at SIF Utrecht

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″ padding_bottom=”custom-padding” custom_padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]The fifth exhibition curated by QKunst has opened at the Social Impact Factory Utrecht.
This time works by three Utrecht-based illustrators are on display: Nick Liefhebber, Bobbi Oskam and Nik van Es surprise us with their colourful drawings and collages.

A quick glance at Bobbi Oskam’s illustrations will instantly draw you straight into them. His raw works are full of details and stories where one constantly discovers something new. They are almost like comic books where it’s up to the viewer to fill the text balloons, but will the story end well?

These slightly threatening images are alternated with the Nick Liefhebber’s cheerful utopian world and Nik van Es’ vastly imaginative works. Nick’s images are filled with geometrical shapes that refer to elements taken from nature and landscapes in which one can even discover secrets, such as the series Hidden Secrets in the Marsh.

Nik van Es invites us into his personal universe and dreams, representing it in a playful and sometimes cubist manner. The craft of illustration is obvious is handmade works, that lure the viewer into taking a closer look.

QKunst curates an exhibition at Social Impact Factory Utrecht three times a year, showing work by talented Utrecht-based or -born artists. We always look for a link with themes that matter to the SiF Utrecht-members. ‘Colourful universe, is on view until 17 March.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4207″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

Gino Bud Hoiting made a design for the 100 meters long wall at the backside of the Van Gend & Loos building in the ‘Spoorzone’ in Helmond (Southern Netherlands). He was inspired by the collections of the EDAH Museum (EDAH was a chain of supermarkets in the area) and the Draaiorgelmuseum (Barrel organ Museum) that will move into the building in 2020. All involved parties are so enthusiastic about the design that they are going to see if can be realised.

Artwork on tunnel Bunnik inaugurated

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″ padding_bottom=”custom-padding” custom_padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]The municipality of Bunnik has a new piece of public art! Bart Lunenburg’s work in the tunnel near Vechten was inaugurated yesterday. The tunnel and the surrounding area needed to become cleaner, safer and more liveable, the artwork helps to achieve that.

The Living Frontier makes the historical surroundings of the tunnel visible. On the side of the Waterliniemuseum, the New Dutch Waterline is represented through scale-models of several types of hiding places. On the side of hamlet of Vechten, one can see Roman watch towers.

After a pop up exhibition at the Waterliniemuseum Fort bij Vechten, where the designs by Kris Borgerink and Lenneke van der Goot were also on display, the advisory commission chose Bart Lunenburg’s design. The artist then further developed it, in close consultancy with the Province of Utrecht, the municipality of Bunnik and the Department of Waterways and Public Works. Bart was accompanied by QKunst throughout the whole process.

The visitors of the exhibition noted the timelessness of the design and the fact that the Roman Limes as well as the New Dutch Waterline can be easily recognised as such. The advisory commission thought the design stood out and was playful, the image was clear and familiar and interesting both from afar en up close.

Bart Lunenburg (Utrecht, 1995) grew up in Houten and graduated in 2017 as a photographer at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht (Utrecht School of Arts). Lunenburg is fascinated by how people connect with their daily surroundings and how they shape it with architecture.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

QKunst 15 years: artist in Johannesburg

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]We are celebrating our 15th anniversary at QKunst this year and our treat is art. In one of the three winning locations, Long Street in Soweto, Johannesburg, artist Yasser Ballemans is starting a two-week residency today. He was chosen by this location’s very active and involved community among a selection of artists introduced by QKunst. In the following weeks, he will give us updates on Instagram en Facebook.

Unlike in the other locations (the Van Gend & Loos building in Helmond and the Ritakerk in Amsterdam Noord), we opted for a residency in Soweto (instead of a concept sketch) due to the nature of the location. Indeed, Long Street actually consists of two places and the social connection between them: on one side of the street, a primary school is located, on the other side of the street a church, where gogo’s find support and shelter during weekdays. The gogo’s are grandmothers that often provide daily care for the children that go to the school on the other side of the road.

During his residency, Yasser will work closely with the gogo’s, the schoolchildren, the teachers and other people involved. This way they can get to know each other and exchange stories. During workshops and gatherings, Yasser will explore the possibilities for a more permanent artwork.

Yasser Ballemans (Breda, 1981) studied at the Sandberg Institute and lives and works in Amsterdam. In his work, he is looking for a natural form for art, within the contemporary societal, functional domain. He is especially interested in rituals and celebrations, in particular carnival. ‘My belief is that art is very well suited to deepen and enrich our ritual experience.’

In the last few years he made several public space works, for instance for the Dutch municipalities of Nieuwegein and Rotterdam. Last week he delivered a commissioned public artwork in Amsterdam, for which he also collaborate with the local community. Yasser’s work is regularly on view in museums, galleries, and artist initiatives, such Kasteel het Nijenhuis bij Museum de Fundatie, gallery Joey Ramone and Onomatopee.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_slide” interval=”0″ images=”4165″ img_size=”large” onclick=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

QKunst 15 years: location Johannesburg

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]Do you remember? We are celebrating our 15th anniversary at QKunst this year and our treat is art. In March we announced to give away three concept sketches for a location of your choice. The coming months, we would like to tell you more about the three winning locations: the ‘Spoorzone’ in Helmond (Southern Netherlands); Long Street in Soweto, Johannesburg; and the Ritakerk in Amsterdam-Noord. Today we would like to tell you more about Long Street in south Soweto, Johannesburg.

This location actually consists of two places and the social connection between them: on one side of the street, a primary school is located, on the other side of the street a church. For the past years, a lot of work has been done in and around the school to renovate the buildings and to provide a daily working method for the pupils, with order and regularity. In the church a lot of work has been done as well, to provide a safe place where gogo’s find support and shelter during weekdays. The gogo’s are grandmothers that often provide daily care for the children that go to the school on the other side of the road. Both places are secured with a fence, providing safety in and directly around the buildings.

A strong group of people has made a lot of effort for both places. In the Dhlamini Methodist Church, director and manager of the Isizinda Sempilo Organization Bongani Makhaya, pastor Mr. Sibongakonke Jshabalala, gogo leader Edith Gcilitshana and Nuska Zwane, director of the Rivers Foundation, are driving forces, that have created a daily routine for the gogo’s, which includes knitting. For the Emadlelweni Primary School the principal, Mr. Khubeka, together with the teachers has supported programmes from organisations like the Smile foundation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

The Dutch Christi Sa, living in Johannesburg, was involved in these visits as a photographer, and she is also the one that submitted Long Street as art location. She was brought here first by Nuska Zwane, director of the Rivers Foundation, when she was looking for new locations for the Africlowns to perform.

Christi: ‘Places like Soweto and Thembisa have often warmed my heart because of the atmosphere of closeness and togetherness. Also each township always brings me joy with murals that light up the streets. The love for art feels shared here. But most of all, the reason I submitted this location is the closeness and togetherness I saw and felt, the church being a place of support for gogo’s and Umkhulu’s. I am aware of the important role of gogo’s all over South Africa and I believe we cannot honour them enough. Then there is the close location, on the other side of the street of a school for young learners. A school that as Ma Nuska told me has been rebuild with lots of energy and care in the last few years. I guess what I mostly felt when I walked up into Longstreet with Ma Nuska was Care and that is why I submitted this location.’

The people involved were enthusiastic about winning the QKunst Award for a sketch design. In two meetings, with Christi Sa as a mediator, ideas on the role of art for both school and church were exchanged. For all involved, exchange, connection and social cohesion were mentioned as important values in the foreseen art. For the church particularly, the wish was formulated to honour the wisdom of the gogo’s. The best way to work in line with the important values and to honour the gogo’s, is to facilitate direct exchanges between the artist and the community. Therefore, instead of a sketch design based on written information/documentation, the proposal changed from a sketch design to a residency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

International award for North-South line

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]‘Our jurors were incredibly impressed with your explanation of the goals of the project, and the successful integration of the artwork into the space. In addition, the collaborative process between all of the parties involved is an outstanding achievement.’ We found these kind words in our mailbox upon our return from the summer holidays, announcing that the Amsterdam North-South subway line is a CODAawards Merit Winner!

The internationally acclaimed CODAawards celebrate the projects that most successfully integrate commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces. From 435 projects from 26 countries submitted this year to the awards, the jury panel of the 2019 CODAawards placed the Amsterdam North-South subway line in the 2019 CODAawards Top 100. The jury prize in the transportation category ended up going to ‘CHORUS’, an artwork by Ann Hamilton located at the World Trade Center Cortlandt Station in lower Manhattan.

However the North-South subway line project was rewarded with a Merit Award in the transportation category. We are very happy with and proud of this recognition of our work commissioned by and in collaboration with the City of Amsterdam, BNTHMCRWL and of course all the artists.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

QKunst 15 years: artist for Helmond

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]Do you remember? We are celebrating our 15th anniversary at QKunst this year and our treat is art. In March we announced to give away three concept sketches for a location of your choice. The coming months, we would like to tell you more about the three winning locations: the ‘Spoorzone’ in Helmond (Southern Netherlands); Long Street in Soweto, Johannesburg; and the Ritakerk in Amsterdam-Noord. This time an update on Helmond, where an artist has been chosen.

The Van Gend & Loos building is a striking building in the railway area of Helmond, right next to the station. Mid 2020, the EDAHmuseum (EDAH was a chain of supermarkets in the area) and the Draaiorgelmuseum (Barrel organ Museum) will move into the building. The 100 meters long wall at the rear side of the building is an eye-catcher and the perfect spot for an artist to represent the connection between inside and outside.

Utrecht born and raised artist Gino Bud Hoiting (1984), was selected to make a concept sketch. He is known for his illustrations for Volkskrant Magazine, but also works for Ace & Tate and Hermès. His independent work consists of drawings, animations and installations, which he exhibits nationally and internationally. Gino has a recognizable style, which is known for his analogue approach, also digitally processed. He draws in line, with pen on paper, creating a clear and tangible image.

At the beginning of August, Gino visited the location in Helmond with the boards of both museums, the quartermaker and QKunst. Gino, who used to be a graffiti artist, immediately felt at home along the tracks. After the railway area, the second stop was the Helmond library, where a selection of objects from the collection of the EDAHmuseum is on view. The supermarket chain – that had an in house printer – spent a lot of time on packaging design, a source of inspiration for Gino.

The last stop was the Draaiorgelmuseum, where the delegation was welcomed with hospitality typical for Limburg: fresh apple pie with whipped cream. Gino was allowed to grind a barrel organ. Then the sheet music, some of it with beautiful patterns, was placed on the large organs.

In the following weeks, Gino will work on his concept sketch for the wall, using the collections of both museums as a starting point. However, in the commission, the artist is invited to place these specific stories in the broader context of workers’ life in Helmond, past and present.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ animation=”zoomIn” animation_delay=”0.2″ class=”col-sm-3 column-left”][vc_column_text]

These artworks tell different stories about ‘men’ and herewith relate to the Global Goals of the Social Impact Factory.

QKunst curates an exhibition at Social Impact Factory Utrecht three times a year, showing work by talented Utrecht-based or -born artists. We always look for a link with themes that matter to the ‘inhabitants’ of SiF Utrecht.

QKunst 15 years: location Helmond

[vc_row fluid=”stretch_row_only” padding_top=”pt-40″][vc_column width=”2/3″ class=”col-sm-6 column-right”][vc_column_text]Do you remember? We are celebrating our 15th anniversary at QKunst this year and our treat is art. In March we announced to give away three concept sketches for a location of your choice. The coming months, we would like to tell you more about the three winning locations: the ‘Spoorzone’ in Helmond (Southern Netherlands); Long Street in Soweto, Johannesburg; and the Ritakerk in Amsterdam-Noord. We’re kicking of with Helmond, where Esther Hartzema is quartermaster for the Van Gend & Loos building.

What can you tell us about this location?
‘The Van Gend & Loos building is a striking building in the railway area of Helmond. The building will be renovated between now and mid-2020 by the owners and in collaboration with EU Architecture and Urbanism. At the same time, the City of Helmond wants to give an impulse to the area. Mid 2020, the EDAHmuseum (EDAH was a chain of supermarkets in the area) and the Draaiorgelmuseum (Barrel organ Museum) will move into the building. Until recently, both museums had their own spot in town, where they successfully shared their cultural heritage collections with the public. We hope to open a new museum next year, where both collections, separately and jointly, will tell the story of the workers’ life in 20th century Helmond. At the same time, we strive to make connections between present and future in all the exhibitions.’

Why did you choose to submit this location?
‘For two reasons: The first is that the Van Gend & Loos building is still being developed and it is situated in an area that is also still being developed. Because this was so specifically stated in the QKunst call for entries, we thought we might have a good chance to win. And we were right! Moreover, it is a striking location: the rear area of the building is situated alongside the tracks, with thousands of travellers passing by daily, at low speed, when their train arrives in or leaves the city. The boards of both museums, the owner of the building and the architect would be thrilled to offer these travellers a glimpse of the collections and the related stories within these walls. The wall on the rear side – the intended location for the concept sketch – is an eye-catcher that could perfectly serve to connect the outside and the inside. It might just become The Netherlands biggest billboard. The second reason is that it is quite a difficult task to join two museums in one building. They don’t need to merge, but they need to collaborate. Having something to work on together and to be proud of – separately from organising the collection and choosing the interior design – can help to achieve that. The concept sketch and possible realisation is very well suited for that.’

What is your role in the process?
‘I’m the quartermaster. In the first stages of the project, I met all the parties involved and took note of everybody’s wishes. Now that this preparatory stage is over and we are moving onto the realisation phase, I am more of a project manager. I need to bring – and keep – all the parties together and make sure that all the plans we have in mind when it comes to exhibitions, programming and education, will actually be realised.’
