Description
I am a contemporary artist working internationally. I do a lot but I'm still poor, If you like to earn money please look for an other place. You can assist me with my projects and also have the opportunity to develop your own.
Some of my skills are:
Sculpting, movie making, painting, photoshop, drawing, and performances. The central focus of a lot of the projects that I create and participate in are giving and sharing.
At the moment we would also appreciate help in housekeeping and house painting. I'm a little bit messy, it would help a lot if you could help me organize a bit. Sometimes I go to secondhand markets to sell antiques and Jewelry.
We are located in Egmond aan den Hoef, near the beach where most Amsterdam people spend their summer. The nature of the dunes is inspiring and peaceful /quiet. The atelier is located across the street of the local church in the center of the small village. It is 55 minutes from Amsterdam. I'm often in Amsterdam so I can introduce you easily to the local urban community.

Help
By means of communicating with Art you can help to create a better world. My projects are about sharing and giving and I am an international working artist with many projects around the world always engaging with local communities. All the preparations are done from my house near the beach and my office in Amsterdam. I'm do a lot of different things, organising, drawing, computing, writing, editing films, painting, working at flee-markets, working with thousands of records, visiting museums and artist-friends, walking with the Dog etc. Often this looks chaotic (help to clean up, in the studio and at the Computer will be the first help I need). Regula my wife is also a artist, she will be also happy with some help from You.

We spent a lot of time under the same roof, working on different videos and other art projects. I left a big piece of my heart in Egmond, definitely some of the happiest months of my life.
So I think i can only say: dank je wel voor alles!
Before arriveing I had some concerns about this half-guest half-employee relationship, but it worked out pretty well and I felt absolutely comfortable. 'Work' (in my case mostly helping to clean & organize the studio) rather felt like helping a… read more
