MAG PIES UNITE
When I visited Amsterdam last winter it was very overwhelming.
I managed to shoot a lot of material,but never had the chance to
actually construct any stories out of the raw footage.
Sometimes you just need some distance between you and the "event"
in order to gain some perspective on it.
(Of course, being a procrastinator with my own work also helps.)
"The Magpie Chapel" is a short film about public art + vandalism.
Well, its not that deep actually- It is only a moment in time.
I was staying with Christiaan in Amsterdam, and he needed
to check out his commissioned public art piece, The Mag Pie Chapel,
that had been vandalized in the middle of the night.
This has never happened to him before.
And at the time, I was barely aware of the severity of the situation;
This is a small, peaceful town in the country, who has an art-criminal on their hands.
The newly restored Magpie Chapel opens this weekend, but here is a look back with the artist,
witnessing the damage for the first time.

SHOCK CONDUCTOR
During the filming of my documentary film, Convento, we took a day off to film this sculpture called SHOCK CONDUCTOR. The previous night, after many glasses of red wine.. I had the idea of filming underneath the sculpture. With the help of Evan Meszaros, Tita Aaftink, Christiaan & Louis Zwanikken, we constructed a scaffolding, where the sculpture sits on huge piece of glass. The camera is on a cam-tram system underneath. I wanted to cover the sculpture from above as well so the viewer would have a simultaneous experience of visual/sound disorientation. Make sure to play this loud:

Art Amsterdam..The Installation!
Art Amsterdam was amazing. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of artists, and check out some amazing art.
Here is a little recap video, for those who missed it. Don't worry, this is just the beginning.
Stay tuned for more events in NYC or Amsterdam this summer!

Art Amsterdam- Install!
We're running late.
Rented a car through green wheels (Sort of like Zip Car in NYC) and packed up all of our gear into suitcases.
The scale of the RAI center and Art Amsterdam is massive. Definitely not what I expected.
Almost every gallery in Amsterdam is here, and everyone is drilling, hammering, mounting.. total chaos.
We find Booth 27/ Galerie Ramakers, and start the nasty process of installation:
