i attended a few openings during the rainy weekend, firstly on saturday was the official unveiling of spencer tunick’s project for the dream amsterdam festival, it turned out to be a wet dream in more ways than one, it was utterly disappointing to see spencer tunick arrive in a boat accompanied by the publicity-hungry woman (who organised the whole over-inflated project) acting very pompously & playing ridiculous loud r&b music only to unveil a very average digital canvas print of one of the photos, and on the reverse was another whole billboard (equally as big as the photo itself) covered in sponsor logos, call that art? keep on dreaming… you can view it on the ‘leliegracht’ in amsterdam until the end of august, but don’t rush…

secondly there was a show in arnhem for the fashion festival going on there this summer, the strongest work on show is by wendelien daan and maurice scheltens, worth a look if you are in town…also there was a magazine presentation and a party by the girls from capricious as usual featuring lots of alternative imagery with an anarchic feel to it… love it or hate it kind of stuff
