THE BLUE DOG
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2018 Together with a befriended artist, painter and host Jasper Krabbé explores a special genre or subject in the history of art. They ask themselves questions like ‘What is the role of dogs in art?, ‘How about death or nakedness?’ or ‘Are self-portraits the selfies of the Golden Age?’ In each episode Jasper and his friend look for inspiration to create their own works of art at the very spot. The Blue Dog is a CCCP production. Broadcast: from November 2018 De blauwe hond NPO3 Zapp |

DEN HELDER
AUGUST 2018 On August 31, a gigantic artwork by artist Marc Ruygrok wil be revealed which represents a double bollard in bronze. The sculpture measures a height of 6 meters, a width of 12 and is located in the city centre of Den Helder. JVtv produced a film on how the artist came upon the idea of this icon and how the sculpture was made and transported. And I was lucky and happy to direct this film that will also premiere on August 31. |

PHOTOGRAPHY
JANUARY 2018 This episode is about North America and North Korea... if all goes well ;-). In 2015 photographer Robin de Puy made a road trip on her Harley through the US. She met Randy, a young boy who intrigued her very much. A year later, Robin decided to portray him again and you can see the fascinating result in the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. Photographer Eddo Hartmann: 'Within the collective nature of North Korea, the individual is just a pixel. I'm looking for that pixel and its meaning within that city.' Hartmanns fascinating images of an isolated country are now on display in Huis Marseille. Broadcast: sunday feb. 4th Kunstuur 17.35 pm NPO2 |
