another academy year is almost over (next year, 2009, will be my graduation year) 2 months ago we had the assignment to exhibit one of our products somewhere in the city. unfortunatly I couldn’t make it to the date. my academic, krien clevis, told me that I can get my desired point if I post one of my products on matandme. I took this picture on sunday in the ainsi builing during an exhibition. the woman is my mum and the paperdog belongs to jens schumacher‘s graduation project. It was a fortunate coincidence.

concept sweater ‘hunsch’

(the name embodies the symbiosis of the german words hund (dog) and mensch (human). the basic idea is the ‘social irrelevance’ of the personification of dogs. the inspiration comes from paris hilton, protagonist of the dog accessory. the fabric is selfknitted and the choice of colour is based on all fashionable girls with their little doggies. yes, I am a little bit ironic again.

today at 7pm in the lumiere, maastricht and soon on youtube.
I play the role of a polish cook who is obsessed with chocolate sauce. (any similarity to living persons is purely coincidental – haha)

about the movie: ‘Theo knows that everything is possible in this world, if you just keep on believing in your own ideas and dreams. Because of that he also succeds to disabuse Kay of the golden cat, which pursuits him since a few nights through the turkish forrests. He makes him join his half dozen of dream mates which combine their powers of imagination to fight behind the scenes of the plagiarism industry’.

daniel van hauten says thank you to everybody who helped him to let this nightmare become his dream!

I did it today and unearthed the truth. just wanted to let you know. (the guy is maciej kuszpa, founder peperoni mobile & Internet software gmbh – I actually wouldn’t mind to be him. his business is good)

I’ve been sitting in the car today, wearing my favourite jeans overall (my work outfit). suddenly I had a marker in my hand and a new character was born.

movies from the viscom, multimedia department from the academy of fine arts maastricht, + music from jordi lloveras, azura and m.i.t.c.h.. It’s an event from students but has nothing to do with the academy. so no commercial backgrounds. I am sure about a good night, so be there. (by the way I did the flyer layout)

yesterday we were making a movie set from cardboard. now I will show how it looked like. take a look on a bunch of actors, non actors, wannabes, friends and people from the street who have fun (hey, I had a huge chain saw in my hand and lost an arm) and who are curious how daniel van hauten‘s movie will be at the premier on june, 26th in the lumiere maastricht.

matthias tarnath (got the ‘mini pistol’), me (afraid of losing an arm), kay macke (with the killer cat’s paw), bert smeets (terror musician), louise oguli (the hot jungle amazon)- ready to fight!

matthias tarnath, me, bert smeets, louise oguli – can we survive?

my friend, daniel van hauten, is making a movie for his graduation (of course it’s a film – he is studying video) we worked the hole night to prepare the set for one scene. all elements are printed out in black & white and glued to paperboard. it was a lot of work but there was some fun in between. unfortunatly the xxl bazokka wasn’t dry yet. this thing is huge! even bigger than me. here are some snapshots of that night.
