Open studio

Twenty five years Kenpenaerstudio! Celebrated with open studio’s with movies art-films presentation of design and art theatre and music performances. A day to remember.

I presented my opera drawings and parts of the libretto. With music from @thomasvgeerts.

And I showed my Crash paintings and graphic score based on a real story from filmmaker Tjepke Zijlstra (@peppe_zucchini). Visualizing the energie of a near dead experience after a crash. A child from about 6 years said he had seen those lights when he broke his arm, and a psychic man said it was his daily experience, those energies and recognized the spiritual figure.

It was a day to remember.

Thanks to @hanneke_gol for the photos

Having my own working space when I visit is great. Here in front of the beautiful painting from my sweet friend Machteld van Buren.

Improvisations for a graphic score

Calefax Reed Quintet

A great visitor in my studio last year: Jelte Althuis from the wonderful Calefax Reed Quintet, studying on my graphic scores! Maybe for a future joint event… Calefax is familiar with the experimental approach. They also performed the Garden of earthly delights of Jeroen Bosch: https://youtu.be/h1-gqSPMD3k.
