van harte nodigen wij u uit voor:
we hebben een streep getrokken
met beide uiteinden als doel
we dragen elkaar
laten ons dragen
hebben elkaar doelloos nodig
met beide uiteinden als doel

Tomorrow I am flying together with Geert Dewael (one of my best friends and commercial adviser of Nhelden) to Skopje to talk with the Dutch Embassy about an artist in residence project in Skopje (probably march/april 2010)
The function of arist in residence would be that you create a project that involves the public space, the local population, Holland (or anything related to it) and of course your own personal theme and form. Roeland Hofman has agreed to think of a project for Skopje since I can’t go there for two months.
Anyway we will first do this week and then see what ever comes out of it and keep you updated.

MTG BLONT, LnSaint & ‘HOERA” (a performance directed by Menno Vroon) are selected for the international theatre and film festival Skena Up, wich will take place in Prishtina, Kosovo. From 4 to 7 December we’ll be there to play the two performances and a gig in ODA theater, a venue LnSaint also rocked last summer on our RollWitIt tour. We’re very happy to announce that we’ll Roll With It again!
We would like to thank the sponsoring colleagues, friends and institutions who invested one or more tickets to Prishtina after our apply for money by foundations failed for discussable reasons; Loes van der Pligt (mimeschool), Jacqueline van Bentem (ITs festival), HetVeem theater, Kees van Leeuwen (theater werkplaats Ins Blau), Mark Timmer (Frascati producties) Frans van Rijnsoever (Bas’ dad) and Emma Kay (Dutch Embassy, Kosovo). With their help we’re able to go, thank you!
Our new project Seniors and Passion or Bejaarden&Begeerte is now online (in Dutch) with blogs, pictures, info and much more; the whole project is about love, intimicay and passion above 65 and that in relation to us (twenty to thirty year olds)
we now do all our research in Tilburg and in collaboration with Het Zuidelijk Toneel and will make a showcase, some activities, a book and maybe much more see and read it all on:

Artists in public is a project where young artists across Europe and Beyond meet each other and work together in making art for an audience that is more than the ‘we all know each other” incrowd of the local art world.
In the week of 15th of September, Nhelden and INSTED organised an international meeting for young artists in Belgrade as a first activity of Artists in Public. As an end to the roll with it tour 20 young artists from all over Europe and NY came together in Cultural Center Grad to talk and work together on how todays performing artists could work in and with the public space.
One of the bigger actions we did together in these five days was the OD KUDA performance in which we made an image with Letters (5m by 3m per letter) made out of wheel tyres; OD KUDA means where are you from, KUDA means where are you going to. We put the words on the river side and crossed the OD so that you see that we want people to focus on the where to 
instead of the where from. This performance as a reaction to the growing nationalism and neo conservatism in our countries.

Artists in Public will organise more events, meetings and happenings with and by artists all over Europe and beyond. The next step will be that we are going to do one performance in different cities at the same time the second week of January. We will keep you update on this website.
