BLEND, STEDELIJK MUSEUM & ANDY WARHOL

Forty years after the first major European Warhol exhibition in Amsterdam, the Stedelijk Museum has organised an exhibition to shed new light on the oeuvre of the celebrated Pop Art master. With film, photography, video and famous icons ranging from Marilyn Monroe, Mao and Campbell Soup Cans, Andy Warhol – Other Voices, Other Rooms is a window onto the artistic thinking of this trendsetting artist, revealing the ‘conceptual soul’ of his work.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue (NAi Publishers), the Andy Warhol Newspaper and a special issue of Blend magazine, which will be edited by Anneloes van Gaalen.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED!

I was supposed to enjoy a nice quiet holiday but there were just too many cool projects thrown my way! There's a UK-based television production, as well as a couple of new clients. Blend Magazine asked if I would do their Art pages and I have also just started writing for American magazine Good! Also bought an HD film camera and have shot my first item on graffiti legend Miss Van. And then there are some other projects, which I can't discuss too much at the moment but they include a documentary, book projects, new exhibitions and some other exciting projects.

JR: ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

The results are in...the JR posters shall remain on the city walls until September 2, when the exhibition ends.
