MC1R - Natural Redheads

Not long ago I was at the Museum of Photography in The Hague (NL) to see an interesting exhibition of photographer Hanne van der Woude , called 'MC1R - Natural Redheads'. This exhibtion (May 10 - June 29, 2008) displays an interesting set of pictures of people with red hair (natural redheads). What intrigued me most at this exhibition was the focus of the photographer: taking pictures of people with a one striking feature (in this case natural redheads) in a specific environment (the green/blue countryside) all leading up to 'huge optical impact', because the red/orange of the redheads 'contrasts' with the green/blue of the natural environment (i.e. complementary colors). This exhibition is highly recommended!

Nara in The Hague

Last saturday we were in The Hague and went to the GEM, a small but great museum for contemporary art. We saw a great exhibition, a mixture of pictures and installations, by Yoshitomo Nara, a very popular contemporary Japanese artist. This exhibition is Nara's first solo presentation of work in Europe. So what we saw was something special. And yes, the work of Nara was intriguing and definitely worth visiting. Further of interest: free parking, a nice terrace, and the beach is not that far ;-).
