DESIGN
OCTOBER 2017 Kunstuur proudly presents four thrilling episodes on the latest trends in Design! We travelled to design Walhalla Milan and of course visited our ‘own’ Dutch Design city Eindhoven. What makes Dutch Design so popular and ‘different’? And what are the ideas, concepts and product materials of a new generation of talented designers as Nynke Koster, Sabine Marcelis and AtelierNL? And how do Dutch topdesigners as Marcel Wanders, Maarten Baas and Daan Roosegaarde think about the future of design and their practice? Furthermore, during a month we witnessed the efforts and experiments of young designer Floris Wubbe in designing a new lamp which –deadline!- he has to show during the Dutch Design Week.

DUTCH MASTERS RETOUR
HOLLANDSE MEESTERS RETOUR SEPT/OCT 2017 For over a year I’ve been following Cathelijne Broers, director of the Hermitage Amsterdam, in her quest to exhibit 64 Dutch Masters from the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in Sint Petersburg. My Russian crew and I witnessed on our last ‘production day’ in Sint Petersburg how Rembrandts ‘Flora’ was packed for transportation to The Netherlands. I can tell you now that she arrived safely in Amsterdam and she –as well as the 63 others- can be admired from October on in the Hermitage Amsterdam at the Dutch Amstel!

MY BOOK BUDDY
JULY 2017 The newspaper headline ‘cemetery of lost years’ about refugee camps was painfully spot on when I visited a camp in Beirut. The conditions in which people have to survive are downright awful and life stands still. There is no perspective at all. I’m feeling ambiguous to film these people, even if it is for a fantastic cause. Yet I hope that this JVtv film will contribute to the project My Book Buddy It is super important that children have access to books and stories. Support MBB!! Education is everything. share the video My Book Buddy |

SINT PETERSBURG
MARCH 2017 It’s definitely an adventure to be in Russia for a five day shoot. To almost wander solely through the State Hermitage in Sint Petersburg is exceptional and magical. To hear all about the Dutch ‘Russian’ masters, to visit the studios where the paintings are being restored and to witness the negotiations between team Russia and team Holland is truly a unique experience. Do svidaniya! Broadcast: Dutch Masters Retour, from February 13th 2018 |

BILBAO
FEBRUARY 2017 We just love the spiders of Louise Bourgeois in GEM Den Haag but the giant one in Bilbao is something different! We had to film this huge spider for the Man and Art project, but since we’re in the Guggenheim…. So it was decided to shoot a special episode about the architecture of this spectacular building (interview with director Mr Vidarte) and the collection (interview with curator Manuel Ciraugui).

CLAUDE MONET
FEBRUARY 2017 On this snapshot cameraman Jelle Odé rearranges the water lilies into place. If you see water lilies, you think of Monet. But Claude Monet also painted a lot of mills, here in the Dutch Zaanstreek! You didn’t know that, right?! Broadcast: April 3rd Man and Art | Monet at 22.40 pm NPO2 |

VAN HONTHORST
FEBRUARY 2017 ‘De Koppelaarster’ by Van Honthorst is by far my favourite painting! It’s in the collection of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht and I just jumped into the air when I heard that plans were made to shoot a special episode on this spectacular work. The work also took us to Rome because Van Honthorst painted in the clair/obscure tradition of Caravaggio. In this episode of Man and Art you’ll find out more about light and dark and Italian icecream of course. Broadcast: April 4th Man and Art | Van Honthorst at 22.40 NPO2 |

DUBUFFET
JANUARY 2017 Kind of chilly today with an average temperature of -15 Celsius. Anyway, it feels like that. On our first production day we were suffering the cold on the Veluwe at museum Kröller Müller. But, Dubuffets Jardin d’email is so cheerful and extra beautiful in the snowy landscape. We’re looking forward to going to Paris later to visit an even bigger jardin of the French master. And we’ll have an extra hot chocolate milk after the wrap today. Broadcast: April 7th Man and Art | Dubufette at 22.40 pm NPO2 |
