New Media Art

There have always been two immediate goals. One was to create new works of art in a technology driven, critical social environment. The other was to create new technologies and spaces to facilitate the former.

Collaboration and common ground have been always key. Artists had to start working with engineers, resources were limited and had to be shared. Development was based on both knowledge and imagination through open source.

De Europeesche

Onder de noemer ‘De Europeesche’ (Hongaars: Europai) exposeerden vier Hongaarse en vier Nederlandse kunststudenten aan hun academies en in 1985 in Nijmegen in Galerie Goem en in 1986 in Fészsek Galeria in Budapest.

De deelnemende kunstenaars waren Zoltán Ádám, András Bernát, József Bullás, Walter van der Cruijsen, Ad van Hoof, István Mazzag, Tom van der Noordt en Peter de Thouars. Voor de catalogus schreef de kunstenaar Henk Peeters het essay ‘Hongarije ligt ergens anders’.

De Europeesche was een uitwisselingsproject tussen twee kunstacademies in Hongarije en Nederland en een initiatief van de kunstenaar Ferenc Gögös, die in 1957 van Hongarije naar Nederland was gevlucht. Hij was docent van de Nederlandse deelnemers en gaf les aan de Academie voor Beelden Kunsten in Arnhem, nu ArtEZ.

In 2015 besloten de kunstenaars een vervolg te geven en opnieuw met elkaar te exposeren in Budapest, De Europeesche 2.0.

The European 2.0

From 15 October until 6 November, I will show three works at Fészek Galeria and Neon Galeria in Budapest as part of ‘The European 2.0’ (Dutch: De Europeesche), a group exhibition with four Hungarian and four Dutch artists. This exhibition is a follow-up of ‘The European’ thirty years ago in 1985.
