After a successful crowdfunding campaign, this December saw the release of Rotterdam Goddamn: an outsider’s testimony, a book by Jasper Willems. In it, Willems describes his personal experience in the Rotterdam scene over the last ten years, laying down an underappreciated piece of music history for future generations. And a book that tells the story of so many unforgettable nights has to be celebrated accordingly.
On January 22, Front present the official release party for Rotterdam Goddamn at Roodkapje with performances by Kwartet Niek Hilkmann, SEGADEATH and Goldblum (dj-set).
Kwartet Niek Hilkmann is the new formation surrounding, you guessed it, Niek Hilkmann. Their debut album, Een Teken aan de Wand, full of enigmatic yet catchy pop songs, will be released on that very same January 22. Gezelligheid guaranteed.
SEGADEATH is the electro/ambient project of ‘local synth hero’ Joris Frowein, who, over the years, has made a plethora of appearances in Rotterdam projects.
Goldblum is the latest creative outlet by ceaseless experimentalists Michiel Klein and Marijn Verbiesen. Even in their dj-sets, they’re constantly exploring the boundaries of the format.

HAMBURGER COMMUNITY OF ART
Roodkapje’s artist-in-residency program The Hamburger Community of Art is based on the principles of experimentation, collaboration, and the development of new artistic practices. What can artists learn from each other? How can (young) artists stimulate their development collectively? And what can artists learn from society and vice versa?

Roodkapje offers a unique art programme, an exhibition space and an artistic development program in downtown Rotterdam.
Our art program is dynamic, surprising and multi-voiced at heart. Exhibitions, workshops, installations, talks, performances, experiments and the new Hamburger Community of Art residency form the basis of our 2019 programme. Whether it’s making Russian dumplings, performing a group choreography, creating face masks or indulging in a jelly fruit performance - you can engage in our public art program in many, many ways.
The Hamburger Community of Art artists-in-residence and the various art programmers are the ones who have the strongest say in the development of Roodkapje’s art programme. They determine the content and shape of the many activities that are being organized throughout the year and, thereby, are an integral part of Roodkapje. Without them, Roodkapje would not be the same.
If you are looking for unconventional, experimental yet accessible art, then Roodkapje is the place for you.

With the Hamburger Community of Art residency program, Roodkapje takes a new direction in terms of the presentation, talent support and development within its art program. The Hamburger Community of Art (HCA) is a yearlong artistic development program for emerging artists. During this pilot year, Roodkapje aims to equip the selected artists – as well as the audience – with skills to be resourceful and self-sufficient in assembling diverse voices through training, mentoring (by a.o. Nora Turato and Jeroen Koolhaas) and with support in organizing events, presentations and workshops. The HCA will produce and host cultural events, social activities and projects that will be open to all audiences.
The HCA is based on the principles of experimentation, collaboration and developing new artistic practices. Questions we need to ask ourselves are: What can artists learn from each other? How can (young) artists stimulate their development collectively? What can society learn from artists and vice versa?
Please keep an eye on our website or walk by the window of the HCA to see what they are working on.
Expressively painted heads of self-contained people of colour are playing the lead in Iriée Zamblé's work. Zamblé puts a magnifying glass upon some of the people that may pass us by daily. Acquaintances, passengers and friends therefore lay at the base of the painted heads. By appropriating details of their appearance, Zamblé shapes a new bold figure. The portrayed are depicted to present themselves as a norm in its variety. With her latest series ''The Default” Zamblé positions people of colour as a standard rather than an exception.
Danielle Hoogendoorn works impulsively and associative, and so is her use of materials. Based on her experiences, she tells her stories portrayed by her favourite animals. Animals play and important role in her life, as they are means to see how far she can go before the border between art and kitsch is crossed. Even though Daniëlle’s work appears sweet and girly at first sight, things are not always as peaceful as they seem. Through her direct approach she tries to take the formal character of painting, and the museum’s white wall out of account, looking to redefine these existing conventions with banality and humour.
Rafiq Abbasov is an emerging international artist from Azerbaijan. His work is staged around the understanding and meaning of time. In his perspective, time is the only variable that we, humans, have no control over. By accepting this fact, Rafiq fills this continuum with temporary multisensory experiences to both escape and explore a new meaning of the perception of time. One of his recent conclusions is the definition of playground: Playground as a counter-public space in public space. My works are in continuous search of (free) space human being can find, to define their own rules of understanding, away from controlled systems.
Lavinia Xausa (IT) works, lives and pretends to learn Dutch in Rotterdam. The center of her artistic practice consists in applying semiotics and sacred art research to an ongoing, participatory art practice, by involving groups of people on self analysis and auto-recognition of their own role in history. Shifting through different kinds of media, from photography to moving images, found footage, sound and text, from writing to performance, she aims to reframe the present in the light of ancient narratives well established in the collective memory.
Gill Baldwin uses analog and digital methods to explore the biases and behaviours of contemporary digital technology. Her background as an interior architect explores the incorporation of digital technologies within the built environment and their effect on the neighbourhood, the self, and human agency.
