Society of Cinema and Media Studies conference from 25-29 March 2015 was in Montreal. About 2000 papers and inspiring encounters. And some impressions of Montreal. The Museum of Modern Art: marvelous Isabelle Hupert in a Gary Hill installation, Sophie Call's moving work about blindness and the sea in Istanbul, Simon Starling's questioning the material world. The contours of Buckminster Fuller's geode from the Expo '67. The splendid interior of the Notre Dam in the old city. And an exhibition on the Dutch cultural austerity, Cuts Make the Country Better, with many artist interviews. 

28 September 2014 - 30 November 2014. Anthony McCall's light sculptures at the EYE film institute. Breath taking and playful at the same time.

23 September 2014. Artists Quirine Racké and Helena Muskens concluded their stay as artists in residence at the Coach House Museum van Loon with an atmospheric multidisciplinary event that brought back the past and the inhabitants of the house, including a re-enactment of the performancs and Home Metamorphosis by Philippa van Loon in the 1990s. Below a photo impression of a fascinating evening.

These photos were taken at the Monteray Bay Aquarium. Incredibly mesmerizing jellyfish and other colorful sealife.
