On Tuesday 27 April you can listen to the first episode of Radio Pareidolia on WORM Radio.
In this 6-part podcast, I am your guide in the mysterious realm of music and memory. Digging into my (post)punk record collection, I explore how music attaches itself to experiences, people, and places, what happens when we suddenly hear new things in songs we have heard a thousand times, and how music history is written.
From 27 April, Radio Pareidolia goes live every Tuesday 12:00. Listen here.
Part 1: Berlin – Sound of a city (27.04.21)
Part 2: Julian Schnabel’s Basquiat – Myth making (04.05.21)
Part 3: Sexism – Shifting perspectives (11.05.21)
Part 4: The Slits – Loud voices, silenced voices (18.05.21)
Part 5: Dutch punk – Oral history (25.05.21)
Part 6: Rotterdam underground – Nostalgia for an age yet to come (01.06.21)
The series will later be released as a podcast on the WORM website.
Out now: the cahier ‘Silky Thoughts’ by collage artist Tinca Veerman. The cahier is issued on the occasion of her solo exhibition in Verbeke Foundation (2 May – 21 October 2021) and published in a limited and numbered edition.
I wrote the introductory text ‘On seeing things in things’ about Veerman’s work process, looking, interpretation and signification.
Out now: the Modern Classics edition of We Are Proud to Present… by Pulitzer Prize winner Jackie Sibblies Drury. An incredibly good and topical play about a group of young actors who want to make a play about the Herero and Nama genocide in German South-West Africa. I had the honour of writing a comprehensive introduction for this edition, in which I combine a description of the historical context with an intuitive exploration of the underlying theme of race and representation.
For more info and to order the book, see bloomsbury.com.
I wrote an essay for the beautiful publication that accompanies the exhibition You Know I Am Not There by artist Danielle Lemaire, an exploration of the world of British singer-songwriter Nick Drake in Stedelijk Museum Breda. The exhibition was set to open in December 2020 and will open once the current lockdown ends. Can’t wait!

I made a series of darkroom prints of damaged lantern slides from the collection of the Zuid-Afrikahuis to explore the phenomenon of ‘patina’. The series and accompanying essay were made especially for the edited volume Magic Visions (soon to be published). |
