WHAT'S ON?
APRIL 2018 Pencil sharpeners, caps , lego , lighters, god knows what more lies around at our houses which we don’t even bother to look at or clean up. Did you know that the average European citizen, including you and I, owns about 10.000 (!) products? About this bizarre relationship with your stuff is the theme of the exhibition ‘Object Love’. Our host between all this junk: Ann DeMeester. At the end of the nineteenth century, artist Max Liebermann spent many summers in the Netherlands. Host Ralph Keuning tells in his particular enthusiast way about the life and works of this extraordinary painter. Broadcast: May 18th Nu te zien at 22.47 NPO2 |

WHAT’S ON?
FEBRUARY 2018 A figure behind a misted window turns its face away and closes its eyes in an attempt to evade the lens of the photographer. The metro passenger is crushed between fellow-commuters and unable to move when photographer Michael Wolf points his camera at him from the other side of the glass. Over the 2010-2013 period, Wolf returned time and time again to the same metro platform in Tokyo to lie in wait for his passing prey. Museum director Bart Rutten visits Fotomuseum Den Haag and shows us around in the universe of 'Lonely Wolf'.... Broadcast: February 23rd Nu te zien at 22.45 NPO2 |

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 |
