Een foto tijdschrift. Erik van der Weijde
Uitgangspunt van deze workshop is om met een kleine groep studenten in een week een foto tijdschrift te ontwikkelen en te maken. Hiervoor gaan we samen een concept bedenken, fotograferen, beeldredactie doen, teksten zoeken, ontwerpen, aan elkaars kop zeuren en laten printen. In principe is iedereen helemaal vrij om zijn of haar ideeen te ontwikkelen. Maar... ook het concessies doen aan eigen ideeen, binnen de groep hoort hierbij. Wat is er mogelijk in een betrekkelijk korte tijd? Wat is er onmogelijk? Globaal zal de week er als volgt uit zien: Ma. ochtend kennis maken en kleine presentatie van de workshop Ma. middag brainstorm sessie met de groep en uitwerken concept Di. ochtend Di. middag
fotograferen / materiaal zoeken fotograferen / beeld verwerking (zichtbaar maken)
Wo. ochtend (beeld) redactie / uitwerken en afronden fotografie Wo. middag opmaak tijdschrift / overig materiaal verzamelen Do. ochtend Do. middag
ontwerp / redactie / stressen ... ontwerp / redactie / stressen ...
Vr. ochtend Vr. middag
uploaden naar drukker en expositie middag voorbereiden evaluatie met de groep en expositie
In de week daarop ontvangt iedere deelnemer dus een aantal exemplaren van het magazine thuis...leuk, toch? Als presentatie eventueel een dummy en werkmateriaal van de afgelopen week en het uiteindelijk gedrukte tijdschrift zal iedere deelnemer ongeveer een week later ontvangen in een nog te bepalen oplage. Zo houden we ook na de workshops nog iets leuks over wat eventueel nog doorverkocht kan worden aan onze familie en vrienden! Het is handig, maar niet noodzakelijk als je iets weet van photoshop en/of indesign. Affiniteit met fotografie en beeld is ook wel handig. Absoluut noodzakelijk is dat je gemotiveerd bent...

WORLD WIDE WIDEO A CELEBRATION FOR BREAKING ROUTINES IN VIDEO
Ola Vasiljeva
How do we reflect on the ways in which the "new-media era" of the recent past has changed the way we comprehend art, music, and culture? This workshop will give an insight to the contemporary video subculture, where the common use of do-it-yourself strategies, an exuberant energy merges with a certain form of rebellion. The workshop will focus on some of the most extraordinary video and media works today as well as on the discussion about the experimentation and pushing the boundaries of the common use of the video editing software. We will look at the works of artists who use digital forms to explore contemporary visual culture and how it is mediated through the popular technologies: restaged and reworked films, remixed and reinterpreted sources ranging from music clips to classic cinema and contemporary art, the underground legends. Cory Arcangel, Michael Bell Smith, Paper Rad, Wyld File, Animal Charm, Charles Broskoski, Shana Moulton, Damon Zucconi, Bad Beuys Entertainment, and Carla Edwards are some of these artists. Some special attention will be paid to the early works of David Lynch and Kenneth Anger. Most of these artists create the most unusual and sophisticated bodies of work using highly approachable and available editing tools. Some of them use significaly inappropriate tools to create the image or sound, which results in the wonderful new dimension of video. The participants of this workshop are encouraged to do the same. With the only few tools such as editing software, the Internet and a huge dosage of imagination and intuition- the participants work on their own video. There will be no ‘teaching” involved, the participants can full rely on their own ideas, however I will be very glad to help with any advice- practical or creative. The idea is to start an experiment on video and work on it during the workshop, but there is no goal to have a finished body of work by the end of the workshop. We will burn a DVD compilation on the last day though - to have a good overview of this process. No special preparation is required, however everyone is free to modify and existing project too. The participants are free to work on the project in a group or individually. Good knowledge of Photoshop and basic knowledge of AfterEffects is required.
DAY 1 -
Meeting with the students, a brief introduction to the workshop Introduction to my own work and the work of some inspiring artists The students are free to show and talk about their projects or ideas Discussing the possible projects and starting to work
DAY 2 -
Exploring YOUTUBE-like media archiving websites Watching works by the artists who successfully and playfully make usage of these archives in their work Discussing the alternative ways of using music and sound in video Working on the projects
DAY 3 -
Working on the projects Discussing practical and technical issues.
DAY4-5 -
Working on the projects Burning a DVD compilation with all the projects to take home.
Required facilities: Computers with After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator etc, Internet, Scanners. Preferably - a projector.

A Week at the Pool Studying the Appeal of the Swimming Pool Miklos Gaál & Marianne Vierø
- a nice picture here -
To set off the workshop we will review art works, films, examples from popular culture and other interesting phenomena carrying the motif of the swimming pool. Through observation of the versatile forms connected to the subject we will try to define the different aspects that it is able to host. We will discuss the basis for utilizing the swimming pool as a starting point and/or subject matter for ones work. Each of you will formulate an idea and create an artwork that will recreate, reinterpret, transform or otherwise channel your personal approach to a swimming pool. The artistic idea determines the choice of medium: use of different kinds of media and ways of expression in creating your work is encouraged. You can work with sculpture, photography, drawing, video, performance, installation or pretty much any other means of expression that supports your idea the best. On the last day of the workshop we will present the finished works as an exhibition in the premises of the school together with a small exhibition catalogue. We will have a feedback critique session reviewing the works followed directly by a finnissage!

Pinhole Photography Brígida Mendes
Forget about perfect lenses, accurate viewfinders and electronic shutters. In fact, forget about the cameras you are used to and discover the world of pinhole cameras. A world of creative freedom, imagination and experimentation which alters our view of reality. Using a pinhole camera is the most magical way to take a photograph, there is always wonder about the unpredictability of the process with no controls, optics or a view finder, the image cannot be planned and will appear only when developed. Objectives: - Understanding of image making. - To explore different ways of building and recording images through pinhole cameras. Schedule: First day -
Introduction to the workshop. Introduction to history, images, cameras and formulas within pinhole photography. Participants will be shown how to make a pinhole view camera which demonstrates how a photographic image is built. Second day -
Participants will make improvised pinhole cameras from readily available materials. It is intended to construct a range of cameras varying in size, shape and number of pinholes. By using this cameras students will learn how to create photographic effects through pinhole technique. Third day -
Introduction to the work of artists which explore pinhole photography within their practice, e.g Abelardo Morell, known for photographing camera obscura images and Jerôme Schlomoff know for producing films with pinhole cameras. - Learning how to use the cameras – exposure, processing of negatives (Black&White photographic paper). - Shooting different subjects. Fourth day - Continuation of shootings. - Making positives Fifth day -
Presentation of results.

Composition in artworks Rumiko Hagiwara & Alice Nikitinova We will talk about the composition as a tool for expressing idea in artwork. We will show some small documentation every day as examples of different approaches in composition in art history and contemporary art, with emphasis on two different way of building images – classical and avant-garde. Also we will talk about composition in the space (installation). Every day we will do some small exercises with students, which will connect with the topic of the lecture. First day We will make a general introduction to this problem in art history and contemporary art, talking about renaissence approach, golden ratio and classical imagination about beautiful image, then about modernistic way of deconstruction the image. First part of the day we will show a slide-show with examples and talk about it. Exercise this day will be to create ten similar size drawings with similar subject but with different composition. This drawings would be taken more like sketches, then like finished work Second day We will talk about the composition in conceptual art, or in art witch use composition in a conceptual way showing slides-show as examples ( Kabakov, Barnet Newman...) The exercise will be to create two drawings (or photos) with two different approaches – one keeping classical rules, and another totally opposite, to create composition as unexpected as possible, which will break common rules. (making consciously “bad” composition) Third day We will talk about the framing and going out of the frame, with examples of American abstract expressionism, minimal art and contemporary artists working in this area (Jackson Pollock, Carl Andre, Blinky Palermo etc.) We will make a switch from 2D image to the installation. This exercise will be connected with the topic, using possibility of installation and presentation as well. It would be to create space presentation inside the school building. Students would be asked to choose the place to install the items (can be the drawings of the 1st and 2nd day’s exercises or something else) and to create the composition in the space. Forth day We will show a free selection of artworks using composition as a main tool. This exercise will be free (students realize their own idea connected with subject of workshop) Also we will make individual discussion with each student.
Fifth day We will let students continue working on free exercise, then we will make a presentation of all works done during the workshop and make a collective discussion.

TAKING IMAGES INTO ACCOUNT: STILL IMAGES AND THE VIDEO ESSAY Zachary Formwalt
Beginning with a look at some strategies used by several filmmakers engaged in film practices that call into question the ways in which certain images are received by their audiences, we will then begin work on developing a video collage made up of contributions from seminar participants. There will be space for those who want to work in direct collaboration with others and also those interested in a more indirect collaboration. Strategies for such collaboration will be discussed early on in the seminar so that work can begin as soon as possible. Films screened on Monday will be discussed in terms of their content, strategies of image critique, and relation between image and narrative or storytelling. In addition, the various collaborative forms that these artists/filmmakers were engaged in will be discussed. The outcome of the seminar will be a video collage made of contributions from seminar participants. The overall theme will be decided on Tuesday morning, though a goal of the seminar is to be able to relate varied contents, which may under everyday circumstances not be thought together, in a single moving image. A second goal is to construct this collage from images which have been found or inspired by some kind of contemporary image in circulation. No prior video experience is required, though those with video experience are encouraged.
Monday: Screening and discussion of the following films: z Critique de la Separation (Critique of Separation) (1961) Guy Debord z Letter to Jane (1972) Jean-Luc Godard & Jean-Pierre Gorin z Deutschland im Herbst (Germany in Autumn) (1978) Alexander Kluge with Alf Brustellin, Hans Peter Cloos, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Beate Mainka-Jellinghaus, Maximiliane Mainka, Edgar Reitz, Katja Rupé, Volker Schlöndorff, Peter Schubert, Bernhard Sinkel (EXCERPT) z Krieg und Frieden (War and Peace) (1982) Alexander Kluge with Volker Schlöndorff, Stefan Aust, Axel Engstfeld (EXCERPT) Tuesday: Found images brought in by participants will be discussed in terms of their potential for use in video. Rough storyboard construction and shooting of video begins. Wednesday: Video shoot continues and editing begins. Thursday: Editing and sound work. Friday: Screening of the final outcome.

When I was a child I wanted to be .... Eliza Proszczuk The issue of abstraction. From abstraction I make construction - as a Polish artist living now in Holland, its like that. But how it is for You?” Starting point is: When I was a child I wanted to be … Try to realize one of Your biggest dreams from Your childhood This workshop gives the opportunity to open up your minds for an abstract way of thinking. It is going to use your abilities of being a child. It will be a special time of making use of those things which were forbidden in childhood.( for example : I was not allowed calling out friends through the open window, breaking eggs on external wall, eating without cutlery, climbing on the tree in white tights). Doing so can have a therapeutic meaning as well, why not. During this week we will also observe if these ways of thinking would range, be more open, more spread. We are going to research how to use it in your language of art? How to translate these memories, dreams and experiences? Examples of artists are Kiki Smith, Louise Bourgeois, Andriej Tarkowski. I will make clear how I am using my childhood, background. We will discuss how it can be important for You. Workshop will use films, performances, brainstorming sessions and individual talks. Those students who are interested in taking part in that workshop should send me short documentation of their works and a short text [ten lines] two days before the workshop starts. 1 First day -Through that week we are going to meet in one room, which is going to be our space. - Every student need to use a piece of wall, floor, table. On that area You will place documentation from each day like sketches, notes, photos. It is going to be Your territory .You need to think about it. - Presentation and discussion of our works ( I will take part in it as well). Everyone should bring 10 or more images of your recent work, so that we get to know each Other and each others interests. - Afternoon discussion about each others childhood dreams. - Every student makes documentation from the day 2 Second day - Morning - Looking at outcomes, from day before - Afternoon - Watching movie. Polisch film from 1984. The Polish Ko-No-Piel-Ka was adapted by director Witold Leszczynski from the novel by Edward Redlinski Edward Redliński comes from the same town as me (Bialystok), and shots for his films where taken in a village near by. Bialystok is a town on the border with Bielarusia and Lithunia. Because of World Wars, and changing borders peoples from villages near by lost their nationality, but they are also really close to their roots, and nature. Some times they are foolishly blind, and they don’t want to open for new one, they are afraid about it. The film shows it remarkably. Watching it You will get an impression of XIX century, but actually it is the time of my childhood: Konopielka, from my neighborhood. Review Summary The Polish Ko-No-Piel-Ka was adapted by director Witold Leszczynski from the novel by Edward Redlinski. Krzysztof Majchrzak plays Kaziuk, a bull-headed peasant in a backwater Polish village. When a pretty schoolteacher comes to town, the very married Kaziuk is
consumed by sexual passion. Unable to satisfy himself in the customary manner, he chops down a tree that has been growing on his family farm for years. He further defies tradition by using a scythe instead of a sickle to cut his grass. Both of these irrational acts brand him as a blasphemous lunatic! It may help to have some background in Polish customs to fully appreciate this sublimely bizarre little film. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Sunday, September 14, 2008 Brainstorming session: - Every student makes documentation from the day, - Private talks 3 Third day Day of suprises!
“Abstraction in music”
- Every student makes documentation from the day, - Private talks - Homework, individual outcomes 4 Fourth day Wathing movie “Saragossa Manuscript” Review Summary "Head movies" The Saragossa Manuscript (1965), the equation is reversed; anyone going into this three-hour mind-fuck straight may well come out feeling stoned. Those who like a challenge and can handle a dizzyingly dense structure that’s more puzzle than plot will be well rewarded. A great score by Krzystof Penderecki and gorgeous cinematography (black-andwhite Cinemascope) keep the ear and eye riveted even while the brain is in meltdown. Directed by the well-regarded Wojciech Has, the film is an adaptation of at least part of a legendary, massive novel by Count Jan Potocki (1761-1815). Potocki’s resume would take almost as long to read as the film takes to watch. Sources say he was a noted travel writer, "novice king of Malta" (whatever that is), Egyptologist, occultist, historian, balloonist, linguist, melancholic, and eventual suicide at age 54. The Manuscript Found in Saragossa (1813) was his crowning work, favorably compared by aficionados to The Decameron and The Arabian Nights for its rich folkloric elements, supernatural motifs, bawdy humor, and surreal touches. It also contains heavy doses of Jewish mysticism and scientific theory of the day (including discussions of mathematics and philosophy). Like its predecessors it has a very modern, labyrinthine, story-within-a-story structure, but it’s even more multilayered, so much so that a slide rule and a scratch pad are advisable for keeping track of who’s who and what’s what. If the movie is any indication, there are as many as five levels of drilldown in some sequences, with one person telling a story about another person, who then tells another story about someone else, who then — you get the idea.

Georganiseerde -Spontaniteit heid Toni van Tiel & Jimini Hignitt
De workshop is een verzameling arbitraire attitudes rondom: leuk. Een operatie van verschillende activiteiten waarin spontaniteit en vrijheid een grote rol spelen. Een uiteen lopende workshop met elke dag een nieuwe richting of opdracht. Een kleine confrontatie met andere attitudes en mogelijkheden. De workshop bestaat uit gestructureerde inefficiëntie waarin actie & directheid samengaan met spelen, experimenteren, verwarring en ongedwongen publiekelijke manifestatie of engagement. Onderstaand tref je een overzicht aan van de titels die we aan elke dag gegeven hebben, we vermelden slechts de titels per dag, omdat verrassingen nu eenmaal leuker zijn en omdat het de spontaniteit bevordert: DAG1/ “Live to art, art to live..en koken” DAG2/ “STJoostische spelen: Jij haat sport, ik haat sport, wij haten sport” DAG3/ “Engagementdag” DAG4/ “Henny Huismandag” DAG5/ Presentatie

“In Kinsjasa ontstaan agglomeraties rond gsm-masten. Je moèt er een mobieltje hebben, ook al werkt het niet en zelfs een toestel dat niet werkt of één telefoongesprek kan je er verkopen. De stad houdt letterlijk op waar het bereik van de laatste gsm-mast wegvalt.”
What’s in a name? In het Nederlands kun je het “mobieltje” noemen, in het Engels “cell phone”, in het Duits “Handy”, in technisch jargon “gsm”. Het staat voor iets dat we allemaal kennen en gebruiken. Het staat voor een object, maar ook voor een verzameling gedragingen, een maatschappelijk fenomeen, en—natuurlijk—een medium voor het overdragen van betekenis. Alledaags, schijnbaar vertrouwt, misschien zelfs banaal. Levert het jou als kunstenaar wat op om zo’n simpel—of is het juist complex…—gegeven nader te onderzoeken? Kun je daardoor nieuwe mogelijkheden ontdekken om verder te komen in jouw eigen werk? Ik vermoed van wel, en ik zie het als een uitdaging om uit te vinden hoe dat voor ieder van jullie kan werken. We kunnen elkaar in deze workshop daarvoor gebruiken, door afwisselend samen ervaringen en inzichten te verzamelen en individueel te werken. We zullen gsm gebruiken in allerlei hoedanigheden, als doe-instrument (denk aan licht, tekst, geluid, beeld) en als denk-instrument (denk aan metafoor, taal, systeem). We zullen daarvoor in het begin wat proefjes doen door ons te concentreren op geïsoleerde aspecten (object, handeling, boodschap). De bedoeling is echter om zo snel mogelijk een link te leggen met jouw individuele fascinaties. Je kunt daarna gaan werken in een medium naar keuze. Dat kan van alles zijn (grafisch, foto, video, geluid, performance, 3d, taal). Belangrijk is dat je er snel en gemakkelijk in kunt werken. Per dag zullen we telkens ’s ochtends gezamenlijk beginnen en kijken en bediscussiëren wat doen en denken tot zover opgeleverd heeft. Daarna aan de slag, in het begin gezamenlijk, later individueel. Individueel bespreken kan dan ’s middags ook. Voor improvisaties en verrassingen in het programma kunnen we gebruik maken van—jawel—gsm. Ben je niet bang om abstracte begrippen te hanteren en te schakelen tussen denken en doen? Heb je jouw eigen stroom van fascinaties, maar ben je bereid om ook te snuffelen aan andermans invalshoek? Dan kunnen we een veelkoppig monster als gsm best voor al onze karretjes spannen. Het gaat er tenslotte om betekenisvolle verbindingen tot stand te brengen.
voorbereiding vooraf (uiterlijk de zondag ervoor):
stuur mij (06-43523445) een sms om jezelf voor te stellen, en zeg daarin iets over wat je doet, wat je wil en/of wat je fascineert. Gebruik eigen woorden, of haal ze uit deze uitnodiging.
google eens wat op combinaties van “gsm” (of synoniemen) en jouw favoriete sleutelwoorden.
meenemen op maandag:
gsm – met beetje beltegoed, en opgeladen
als je die hebt: digitale fotocamera – kan uiteraard je gsm zijn…
als je die hebt: videocamera – kan uiteraard je gsm zijn…
papier, pennen, potloden, stiften e.d. – ook wat kleuren ander materiaal waarmee je graag wil of goed kunt werken.

How do you feel about passage; a way, a process, a direction?

How do you feel about the relation between everything and everyone, rhythm?? --------------------------------------------------------------------------"in the early films of Chantal Akerman, 'nothing' is what is happening all the time. except when something does." How much entertainment do you need in art? in life? can you be and just be? nothing more? and how is this translated into art? our workshop is focused on 'being' By changing the different way of looking and experiencing, the whole way of thinking and acting changes. we try to open up. getting empty, vulnerable, slower, ... it all makes us change the direction of control, to have a different kind of connection with the surroundings, which is closer to ourselves. we have lack at control or trying to control and make it into 'guiding'
day one (5:00~11:00) we focus on observing and experiencing. how do you observe? how do you feel about it? and how do you translate it into your work? that day we have a special program, which starts at 5 in the morning... don't go out until that hour, just go to bed and start the day on a different moment...
* 5:00 at the entrance of St-Joost 's Hertogenbosch (Onderwijsboulevard 256) * wear warm clothes * pencil or pen
day two we work on concentrating, focusing and looking. what did you really see? how much do you see from the world you walk through day in day out? * AKV / St-joost ,‘s-Hertogenbosch,
* pencil or pen
day three we work around the space itself. what is your relationship with a space? how do you react on it as an artist? * AKV / St-joost ,‘s-Hertogenbosch,
* free material
day four we'll have a look on yourself as a being. after the surroundings, the other, the space, we look more on you, yourself in relationship towards art, so just bring a pen with you. * AKV / St-joost ,‘s-Hertogenbosch, day five
* pen presentation

The Power of Limitation Het effect van begrenzing en herhaling
Eline Schuurman & Amber Bijl •
Stel je voor, jouw wereld bestaat vanaf vandaag uit slechts drie straten. Wat voor invloed heeft dit op je werk?
Doelstelling Het gaat erom dat je je bewust wordt van wat je ziet. Het feit dat je werkgebied begrensd is en dat je het veelvuldig bezoekt kan dit sterk verintensiveren. Er komen interessante vragen aan de orde. Wat valt je op in deze omgeving? Hoe verandert je blik gaandeweg? En wat is de functie / het effect van het herhaaldelijk bezoek aan deze straat op je werk? Voorbeelden van vragen die je kunt stellen zijn; Wat doet die hoop stenen in de tuin van nr. 5? Of een heel ander soort vraag als; Wat voor sfeer ademt deze straat? Of: Hoe kan ik de planten in deze straat het beste classificeren? Hoe verwerk je deze informatie vervolgens in je werk?
Plan van aanpak Wij bieden jullie een korte, vooraf door ons vastgestelde route in Den Bosch aan. Ieder krijgt zijn eigen route toegewezen, niet langer dan drie straten van gemiddelde lengte. Deze route is gedurende deze workshop jullie werkterrein. Het zijn straten waar mensen wonen, winkelen of alleen maar passeren. Ieder van jullie krijgt een ander soort route toegewezen, maar er wordt niet op het individu gelet. Dat wil zeggen; de toewijzing gaat random. Lootjes trekken. Dit klinkt misschien saai of beklemmend, maar de uitdaging hiervan is dat jullie binnen vastgestelde kaders op zoek gaan naar wat jullie nu echt interesseert, en waarom. Het is dan ook van belang dat jullie de route regelmatig bewandelen, liefst een aantal keren per dag. Geheid dat je bepaalde dingen op zullen vallen. Wat zie je nu eigenlijk? Wat zie je tijdens de eerste keer wandelen, en wat de laatste keer? Wat boeit je heel erg, en wat boeit je absoluut niet, en waarom? Waar ligt je focus? Hoe verfijnt deze zich, of hoe verschuift deze? Je kunt ook vragen stellen als; Is de mevrouw van nr. 19 ziek vandaag? Wie woont daar onder die tl-lampen? Hoe jullie je indrukken vervolgens verwerken staat geheel vrij. Het eindresultaat kan dus variëren van ruimtelijk werk tot tekeningen of foto’s, collages… De ene persoon zal liever ter plaatsen werken, terwijl de andere zijn indrukken liever meeneemt naar zijn atelier, om ze daar te verwerken. Maar het is wel de bedoeling dat er aan het eind van de workshop een zichtbaar resultaat is. Neem ook vanaf de eerste dag materialen mee, zodat je direct aan het werk kunt. Je kunt natuurlijk altijd met elkaar bespreken wat je aan het doen bent. Maar de routes worden niet uitgewisseld. Het is belangrijk dat je gefocust blijft op jouw eigen drie straten. Wij zullen langs komen om jullie proces te bespreken, en waar nodig te begeleiden, opbouwende kritiek te geven en vragen te stellen. Ook zullen we met zijn allen aan het eind van elke middag de vorderingen bespreken.
Programma Maandag – Start kennismaking. Toewijzing van de routes, en vervolgens de straat op om aan de slag te gaan. Dinsdag t/m donderdag – Zelf werken, in de namiddag bespreken met ons en met de groep (al dan niet op locatie). Donderdagmiddag – met elkaar de resultaten bespreken. Vrijdag – Presentatie
Voorbereiding / Benodigdheden Zorg dat je op de eerste dag van de workshop al aan de slag kunt, dus neem de materialen en spullen mee waarmee je wilt werken. Neem ook een aantal foto’s van je werk mee, zodat we een indruk krijgen van wat je maakt. Dit zou je eventueel ook via de mail al naar ons toe kunnen sturen. Als je dat doet dan ook graag een korte omschrijving erbij.
