Stichting Digitaal KunstBeheer
The first groupe of artists added their work to the collection on the DKB website. We want to extend the possibilities in 2019 and build a large database with artists oeuvres. Artists will be able to add their own page. We will also work together with the RKD in the Hague and work with other organizations to extend our network.

ARMANDO R.I.P.

In memoriam

ARMANDO

R.I.P

Working with and for Armando for more than 20 years has become part of our lives. It is very special to have experienced his company and to know him as a very friendly man. What laughs we had on our way to our studio where another sculpture in progress was waiting for him. He then gave it the Armando touch, making the sculpture alive.

After the very first meeting I said in surprise ‘as if I was in Herenleed for a while, he really talks this way…’ In 1997, when I did the preliminary work for the first sculpture, a Kopf, with not much texture yet. This has changed over the years. Many sculptures(>75) followed. We have a ‘thick Armando book’ full of many anecdotes and Armando expressions, which, like many who knew him, also became part of our own language.

After Armando’s recovery, Wim and I became the permanent team to assist him with his bronze sculptures. Jokes, proverbs and recurring rituals made working with him very intense. It was a privilege to work with him.

We can safely say that Armando helped us in the wedding boat after BOT (2006). In the large workspace where we have realized BOT, Wim and I created our joint studio. A joint studio, which we also made available to fellow artists of different disciplines. The collection of African art by Klaas de Jonge became also part of it. In the large space we could both develop our work unlimitedly.

At the same time, we continued to do the preliminary work for the Armando sculptures. In fact, after BOT had been made, both Wim’s installations and Marja’s paintings have taken off. Many people ask whether we have not learned much from him, we certainly have, especially his autonomous attitude as an artist. Also the recognition of his relativization and necessity at the same time in regard to the making of art.

Unfortunately Armando turned out to be no exception. He used to say: they say … You die, but I’m not sure…

Dear Armando, thanks for everything!

COLLECTION AFRICAN ART KLAAS DE JONGE
After 12 years Klaas de Jonge moved his collection of African art to Redu (BE). It was a great inspiration to have them in our studio. The work influenced us both and they became a real part of Wim’s installations. The pieces he is using in his newest installation stay as long as needed.

ZAKYNTHOS – SOAK
Wim Vonk, Marja van Putten and Rob Visje have been teaching in Greece Zakynthos at Sommer academy in June.
