Please let Irwin know at: [EMAIL PROTECTED], if you¹ve any contacts there that may be interested, thanks, Jayce -- Hi Jayce! Following up on our conversation... I will be in Nederland as of Friday for a couple months and wonder if you can help connect me up with someone who might have suggestions directing me to artists and sites. I am interested in furthering my research and building of collaborations for inner-city arts and new media projects.
I will be in Amsterdam and Nederland July 13 to Aug 30, plus very brief 4 day visits each to Brussels Aug 2-6 and Prague Aug 20-24. Given you and i have done so much work in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, i am seeking contacts with inner-city arts centres. I am really seeking arts sites that have managed to integrate some of the following: new media, contemporary arts, outsider arts, poverty, mental illness, addiction (all similar to the Vancouver projects i am helping direct.) Additionally, for September to November 2007, I am curating The Work of Migration that looks at migration, racism and trauma, so also very interested in artists tackling such human impacts. In late August i will do surveillance/low-light video work following the route my father took in 1944 to live underground in Drenthe. I risk writing a proposal here, so i best stop. I've patched some links below from my CV for backgrounder. best, x Irwin Oostindie current curatorial/cultural planning work Gallery Gachet (Executive Director) http://www.gachet.org Fearless: Downtown Eastside Arts & Issues (Co-Founder) http://www.fearlessmag.org Centre for Creative Technology & Community Arts (Co-Founder) 9,400 sq ft opens in 2009 www.creativetechnology.org recent photo-based exhibitions: Axis to Grind: Inside North Korea http://archive.cbcradio3.com/issues/2004_01_09/main.cfm?page=08 http://www.capcollege.bc.ca/programs/studio-art/gallery/Gallery_Past_Shows/I rwin_Oostindie.html http://www.cankor.ca/issues/152.htm#six (review) Whey-ah-Wichen: Facing the Wind http://www.wakeupwithcoop.org/Feb7th-05p5.mp3 (interview) festival projects: Under the Volcano Festival of Art & Social Change http://volcano.resist.ca (Founder) Kootenay Moving Pictures Film Festival http://student.vfs.com/~movepic/nelson.htm (CoFounder) Mayworks http://users.resist.ca/~mayworks/archives.shtml <http://www.resist.ca/%7Emayworks> (Co-Coordinator) ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
