AAAFRESH123 present Everything in the Cloud at Dock Gallery

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 23 September 2020

Rotterdam-based art collective AAAFRESH123, present a series of paintings reflecting their ‘maniacism’ art movement. The exhibition, boasting a collection of colourful, larger than life works, is on view at Dock Gallery from the 12th of September until the end of October 2020.

The artist trio recognized a particular phenomenon of the information overload era we live in today and translated it to a new art movement, popularly known as ‘maniacism’. AAA compared the behaviour to a ‘mania’; an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest and desire to do something.

‘Everything in the cloud’ captures this restless phenomenon in a collection of energetic, colourful and truly impressive works. Through the chaotic self-portraits and cracked skulls spewing data, rings the underlying message that what is real still remains physical.

About AAAFRESH123

It does not happen often: three art egos coming together to develop a singular style, which only exists with all three of them participating. Hans Kleinjan (1958), Maikel Kleinjan (1984) and Roderik Faasen (1990) started to paint together in 2009 in Rotterdam. After having multiple exhibitions around Europe, they started their own combined gallery and atelier concept, named AAA Gallery, which later became AAAFRESH123. Nowadays, the gallery has grown out to be somewhat of a cult living room in Rotterdam, regularly holding live paintings, exhibitions and shows.

Dock Gallery

The authentic building in the Veerhaven in Rotterdam in which Dock Gallery is located has two floors where artists from all over the world exhibit their work. In the raw, modern space with only concrete and glass elements, the artworks are able to receive the undivided attention they deserve. Gallery owners Brigitte and Raymond Wanders create a diverse collection ranging from paintings to sculpture, photography, and even virtual art. They are known to select artworks based on quality, originality and personal taste.

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 23 September 2020

Live Music

On April 21, 2021 the Canadian singer Rhye will bring his bedroom R&B to the Rotterdam Maassilo. The show is dedicated to his new album that will be released soon. Tickets for this concert are available directly from Motel Mozaique Concerts and Rotown.

Mike Milosh alias Rhye is a talented songwriter and composer with a breathtaking, androgynous voice. Rhye started as a duo project with Danish instrumentalist Robin Hannibal. The first steps were taken in L.A. with the recordings of the beautiful album 'Woman' (2013), full of stylish, perfectly produced bedroom R&B. That year Woman grew into a cult album and eventually even a year end list album.

It took no less than five years before the second Rhye album 'Blood' saw the light of day. A year later the Canadian singer returns with 'Spirit', a magical album that is praised by international critics and on which the minimalistic keys of Ólafur Arnalds return. This summer already saw the release the track 'Beautiful'.

Digital Port Day enlists talking drone-robots as tour guides

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 31 August 2020

Rotterdam, 27 August 2020 - On Saturday 5 September, World Port Days will showcase the inner workings of the Port of Rotterdam during an event dubbed Digital Port Day. During the event, fans will be guided (digitally) by two talking drone-robots, Amy and Djimmy.

Amy is intelligent, rational and technically minded, Djimmy is a tough leader who craves the romance of the port. This makes the contemporary duo the personification of the port of Rotterdam, where hard-working people and innovative technology complement and strengthen each other on a daily basis.

Stichting Wereldhavendagen developed Amy and Djimmy in collaboration with Rotterdam Festivals and events agency Fjuze, which has a lot of experience with innovative use of technology. The presence of Amy and Djimmy at the Digital Port Day is unique as it is quite rare that drones are provided with a personality and used in such a way at a (digital) event.

"The uniqueness of drones is that they show a new perspective of a world only known to us from the ground up," says Klaas Rohde, owner of Fjuze. "For us, drones are flying robots, in which we see personalities.

"Thanks to Amy and Djimmy we can show a whole new side of the port of Rotterdam," says Sabine Bruijnincx, director of Stichting Wereldhavendagen. "We are very proud that thanks to the creative collaboration with Fjuze and Rotterdam Festivals we can offer our audience a real first during the Digital Port Day.

Digital Port Day Rotterdam: what to expect?

The Digital Port Day is an initiative of the World Port Days Foundation. On Saturday 5 September 2020, the website and social media of the World Port Days and media partners Rijnmond and OPEN Rotterdam will offer a glimpse into the past, present and future of the port of Rotterdam. The presentation is in robot hands of Amy and Djimmy and also flesh and blood 'Digital Port Reporters' Kirsten and Remco.

The audience can enjoy unique vlogs, live streams and live radio all day long with stories about special and innovative port companies and ships. There will also be beautiful photos and video footage with highlights from the past editions of the World Port Days. The day traditionally ends with a video recording of the evening show.

The Digital Port Day can be followed live on Saturday 5 September from 10:00 to 18:00 on the website of the World Port Days.

750 years Rotte | dam - expo at Museum Rotterdam

Bryan van Putten events (calendar) 27 August 2020

In 2020, it will be 750 years since the dam was laid in the Rotte. A historic moment for the creation of Rotterdam! To mark this milestone, Museum Rotterdam and Archeologie Rotterdam (BOOR), are organizing the exhibition '750 years Rotte | dam'.

Using various archaeological objects, texts and visual material - including special photographs, drawings and two new documentaries - various stories will be told in the expo. Learn everything about ships and locks, immerse yourself in the world of water management, and marvel at the history of Rotterdam. The top piece in the expo is a punter, a boat that was used to close the dam in the Rotte and was found during archaeological research in 1991.

At the beginning of the nineties, Rotterdam archaeologists were investigating the dam from which Rotterdam owes its name. Deep in the construction pit of the Willemsspoortunnel they make a sensational discovery: there is a complete boat under the dam! The punter-like vessel was used to close the last hole. The ship's wood also reveals when the dam was built: around 1270. This small ship, which created our city 750 years ago, is now on display for the first time in Museum Rotterdam!

The ship is a sensational Rotterdam relic: the punter is - almost literally - the basis of our world port city. The first Rotterdammers built their houses on the dam in the Rotte. Besides the original punter, the exhibition shows the centuries-old connection between Rotterdam, shipping and water management. From the ingenious drainage sluices in the medieval dam to the latest rain radar and smart roofs.

Visiting the 750 Years Rotte | dam expo

The exhibition 750 years Rotte | dam can be seen in Museum Rotterdam, from 5 September to 21 March 2021 and is a collaboration with Archeologie Rotterdam (BOOR) and is further made possible by Mondriaanfonds and Ik in 010.

Voet aan de Grond

In the adjacent Halvemaanpassage another expo will open on September 5th: Voet aan de Grond. A very nice addition to our project, and only 25 meters away!
