Cultural Omnivore: June 2012
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Pop-up galleries in Vacant Space. On the Nachtegaalstraat 29. Open for a month for the second time. Bedford is one of the newest galleries and a personal experiment of the two owners. A nice quirky mix of illustrations and photography, with the necessary dose of shoppable fashion accessories. These illustrations will be published later this year in a children's book. Oh you simple things" by aleks pietrzykowska. Super-cool necklaces in laser-cut plexiglass. Lamp by Beemeubels.nl.

Cultural Omnivore: My essay published in Creatuals bookazine
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2016/06/my-essay-published-in-creatuals.html
Friday, June 10, 2016. My essay published in Creatuals bookazine. I'm very proud that my essay has been published in Creatuals bookazine that my friend Meike Ziegler crafted this year. Great to be part of the Creatuals team and Creatuals launch party was fun. Guess what, we did a Creatual. Creatuals are creative rituals that mark moments in a contemporary way in the modern Western world where we have mostly abandoned traditional religion and are searching for the ways to give meaning. It doesn't touch us.

Cultural Omnivore: Village Coffee
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2011/04/village-coffee.html
Thursday, April 14, 2011. This feels more like a living-room, than a coffee bar. This is a lifestyle not a cup of coffee. It all starts with the owners who are extremely friendly and immediately make you feel welcome and at home. There is an air of industrial heritage to the place. The floor is a hard grey resin floor and most walls are stark white and frame parts that have been left untouched, they almost become a decorative canvas in their own right. Celebration of roughness and imperfect decay. Send m...

Cultural Omnivore: Etsy Showroom
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2012/04/etsy-showroom.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. The most fun shopping experience on saturday 30th of March in Utrecht, was definitely the Etsy marketplace in De Ruimte de Echt Waar Bazaar. Etsy Showroom, Echt Waar Bazaar, de Ruimte, Utrecht. Etsy Showroom, Echt Waar Bazaar, De Ruimte, Utrecht. I'm pretty sure that in the long term the retail landscape is bound to change due to the fact that we actually don't need that reseller anymore. How are the retailers going to compete with this?

Cultural Omnivore: July 2012
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. Following up on my previous post "pop-up galleries in vacant space". Here are a couple more. It's great to see that not all retail space is turning into Outlet Stores during the crisis but that also young and upcoming creative talent gets a chance to rent or borrow vacant space. Curious to see what the city is going to look like come Autumn. Everybody, please send me a line if you see more popping-up in Utrecht (or Amsterdam). Fashionmania.nl on the Nobelstraat. We make money not art.

Cultural Omnivore: January 2012
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 13, 2012. I didn't make a new years resolution but on the 2nd of January there was a documentary on TV that definitely made me think that Buy Nothing Year might be one. Overal spullen / Stuff Everywhere by Judith de Leeuw painstakingly reveals how much stuff she has in her house, because she sets out to count it all! Bekijk de video in andere formaten. So too late to really stick with the good intentions. Earlier on I had read about the 5 pieces wardrobe principle. Are definitely more bra...

Cultural Omnivore: December 2011
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Is social media the new opium for the people? Are we getting addicted? Social Media is our second life and our existence and response-rate has become vital to social inclusion in many circles. And with the new Timeline app. To come, Facebook is promising to become our companion from birth to death, a digital red thread that records your important moments through your entire life. A sort of Museum of Me . TNS also talk about the digital waste, the pollution in the social media s...

Cultural Omnivore: The new Cooperative
http://culturalomnivore.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-cooperative.html
Monday, April 9, 2012. The current state of our economic system or as some people says the failure of capitalism, calls for us to think of new alternative economic models. Perhaps that's why the UN has called the year 2012 the year of the cooperative. The big question is; is the cooperative a good alternative? And if yes, do we then simply mean the early capitalistic kind of cooperative that farmers used to unite and fund bigger projects in the 19th century? Wu Lyf membership page. This is actually not t...
