I just heard the weather guy say it will get down to seven degrees tonight!, is summer really already over?!? I am hoping that I can suck one more flip-flop day out of the month before sweater weather truly invades. Anyway, cold weather can't keep us from having a fabulous weekend.
As usual lots of films on the agenda including a documentary about Bob Dylan at the @ Rialto, Saturday and the Animation Film Festival. But Sunday looks to be the busiest as Autovrije Dag/ car free day allows us to take to the streets in many forms! - including yoga in the street, neighborhood parties, live music, electric car presentations and the unique ParkArt a creative art market on the Spuistraat. Whatever you find yourself doing, enjoy!

Get a special presentation about Alfred Stevens project (DE)-Constructing me by the designer Catta Donkersloot in which she shows three films and a tableau vivant. The Friday night continues online on www.vrijdagavond.wordpress.com: seven creative minds collaborate in (RE)-Constructing Stevens and explore in the blog how topical the various themes in the exhibition still are. This is to result in a visual product, such as film or a series of photographs. The end result will be presented on three evenings in January. The participants in the project are from different artistic disciplines including photography, video art and theater design
Then at 20.00 and 21.00 check out (DE)-Constructing me, where designer Catta Donkersloot (www.catta.nl), winner of the IAF for the most creative design of 2008 and photographer Lisa Kortenhorst (www.lisakortenhorst.com) prepare an installation inspired by themes in the exhibition on Alfred Stevens. The films deal with the search for an individual identity, the limitations of freedom through clothing, the evanescence of time and reality, and the perception of women in general.
