Traveling and Writing
This website is about traveling and writing. Being on the move and being emotionally moved. Two different but interconnected things. Spotting places and losing your heart. Temples, pyramids, cities and ruins, forests and mountains, valleys and rivers, volcanoes and lakes, daily life in the streets, the world as habitat for writing.

Kunst in actie




In het eerste verhaal van Tove Jansson's Fair Play, Changing Pictures, lees ik: As she watched Joanna rehang pictures, it seemed to her that lots of things, including their life together, fell into perspective and into place, a summary expressed in distance or self evident clustering. The room had changed completely.

Bladerend in een oude Vrij Nederland las ik dat in sommige musea in Nederland schilderijen worden geëxposeerd op wanden die daarmee meer in overeenstemming zijn  gebracht en dat ook gereedschappen en materialen van de schilders worden tentoongesteld.

Hergeboorte van kunst in actie, kunstenaars ten voeten uit.
