Thinking about design and photography and what is so attractive.To me that is the different way of observing the world.I am in my head most of the day, paying attention to the observable world around me. To people, yes, bit not to what the world looks like.Design and photography make me see the world totally differently.What it claims, is that looking at the world through the eyes of design could make the world better. In terms of quality of what humans produce, longevity, sustainability. But also in term of personal life.

Living with designed artifacts seems to improve your presence, make you more present when making buying decisions.

Erwin Olaf in the Gemeentemuseum

Today I went to the Gemeentemuseum for the second time to see Erwin Olaf’s retrospective. In honour of his sixtieth birthday, the Fotomuseum Den Haag and the Gemeentemuseum have organised a combined retrospective.

Last time, we started in the Fotomuseum. Olaf’s early photos are on display here. This is generally the rawer work, mostly black and white. In the Gemeentemuseum, the more stylised work of the older Erwin Olaf is exhibited. Top work, related to Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson.

Erwin Olaf in het Gemeentemuseum

Vandaag voor de tweede keer naar het Gemeentemuseum om de overzichtstentoonstelling van Erwin Olaf te bekijken. Ter ere van zijn zestigste verjaardag is in het Fotomuseum Den Haag en het Gemeentemuseum een gecombineerde overzichtstentoonstelling ingericht.

Vorige keer begonnen we in het Fotomuseum. Hier zijn de vroege foto’s van Olaf te zien. Dit is over het algemeen het rauwere werk, in meerderheid zwart-wit. In het Gemeentemuseum is het meer gestileerde werk van de oudere Erwin Olaf tentoongesteld. Top-werk dat gerelateerd is aan Jeff Wall en Gregory Crewdson.

Hannah Starkey

Hannah Starkey makes images with beautiful light and full colors. The photos remind me of William Eggleston (the colors, the mundane subjects), Jeff Wall (the silent, staged pictures), and Alex Prager (the colors, the women).

The pictures look misleadingly simple and light, but just give it a try: impossible.
