Ontsporen
Kunst en filosofie als trigger voor systeemverandering
In Ontsporen, art and philosophy are the inspiration to look differently at daily life and organizations. The book is a plea to approach the complexity of the current world with new metaphors. The author calls this ‘thinking around’. She sees that in ‘square worlds’ there is a need for tools to approach entrenched patterns and systems differently and to get thought processes moving. Sarai van de Boel challenges the reader to look at one’s own systems from the inside with a philosophical approach.
In eight chapters there are eight ‘tracks’ to follow, but it is also possible to go off the rails. More than fifty works of art by well-known and lesser-known artists and designers play a role in these traces. The author questions the essence of their works and asks philosophical questions about phenomena they evoke. With Marlene Dumas, Marinus Boezem, L.A. Raeven, Ed Atkins, Wong Ping, Kazumasa Nagai, Remy Jungerman, Otto Piene, Eiko Ishioka, Campana brothers, Ann Demeulemeester and Kara Walker.
The book ends with the Art & Philosophy Strategy, a theoretical framework for the use of art and philosophy.
Sarai van de Boel (1969) developed her vision over the past thirty years, among others in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, in education, in training courses for the business community and as a visual artist. She is a master at asking practical philosophical questions.

About the dramatic melting of glaciers
In 1674 the ice came all the way down at the foot of a village in the Swiss Aletsch region. The people, afraid for their existence, held catholic rituals to request the heavens to stop the growing of the glaciers. Mid 1800 was the peak, the glacier on her largest, then the retreat of the ice began. Now the Aletsch Glacier is melting, the largest and longest of the Alps, so hard that they will be gone in 70 years. 70 years, a lifetime.
Diewke van den Heuvel is a photographer and artist and says about it: “My 11-year-old son is going to experience this. In 2019, a farewell ceremony was held for the complete melting of the Pizol Glacier, in eastern Switzerland. The process of climate change is a conceptual understanding for a lot of people, it’s incomprehensible while at this moment the consequences are felt throughout Europe. When I studied Geography, global warming was also a conceptual concept for me, it only became tangible and understandable when I literally had to walk meters further every year with a guide to enter the ice caves of the glacier. From the first moment I was touched by the glacier, the grandeur of this natural phenomenon. I really want to share this with others to make the enormous importance tangible. A poetic imagination for generations to come.”
Diewke van den Heuvel graduated from the HKU in 2005. Her activism is always woven into her work as a photographer and artist. She makes documentary series as well as long-term projects and investigations. The camera is the means to tell her story, always questioning her position as a photographer.
Dutch, English and Swiss
Once upon a time is a portrait of the post-industrial heart of Western Europe. The landscapes, portraits and interiors tell a story about inhabitants from different cultures trying to make the best of their lives in a region with an uneasy cinematic beauty. The story also touches on a current social problem. The world must and wants to say goodbye to polluting industry and coal for generating energy. The 95 images show what the impact can be on an area and its residents if large industrial companies close and the local economy has to reinvent itself.
The Dutch documentary photographer HJ Hunter started in 2015 from his hometown of Maastricht on a journey of discovery through the raw postindustrial landscape that he closed his eyes to as a child, and that he came to appreciate as a photographer.
Marcel Molle: “I like the still lifes. They betray so much human presence. The portraits are just as intriguing. Really amazing.”
Carla Kogelman: “The book is an ode to the area, and to the people who live there. It contains fine images that radiate a kind of desolation that makes me very happy.”
Chris de Bode: “It is not only a good story, but also well photographed. What appeals to me is that the photos are so beautifully orchestrated. Very well done.”
Hendrik J. Hunter studied literature and made a career as a (business) journalist and commercial writer before he was seized by documentary photography in 2013. His autonomous projects have been published internationally in leading newspapers and magazines and exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Once upon a time is his first photo book.
For more than 40 years, Europe lived with the nuclear threat of the Cold War. For the ‘Remnants of deterrence’ project, historian Arnold Pronk and photographer Martin Bruining travelled to the sites where Soviet nuclear missiles were once located. From the far north region of Murmansk in Russia to the south of Ukraine in Crimea lay these forgotten sites that are scattered along one long, continuous chain.
This book is the result of more than 15 years of archival and field research on Soviet medium-range nuclear weapons. It offers a glimpse into the hidden world that once existed behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War and then disintegrated after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The book shows what remains of these fascinating places where missiles - above and below groundwere positioned, aimed at Western Europe.
The book’s title is a translation of the telling slogan of the Soviet Union’s strategic missile forces. ‘After us - silence’ would have become reality if the missiles, stationed at 159 bases, had been fired at the West. With the alldestructive power of these weapons and the (automatic) counter-response, life on both sides of the Iron Curtain would have become impossible.
Martin Bruining (1981) studied at the Utrecht School of the Arts and Fotovakschool. As a documentary photographer, he mainly focuses on subjects with historical and social value. He makes both short-term photo reports and long-term documentary photo projects. In addition to his work as a photographer, he also teaches photography at the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam.
Arnold Pronk (1974) studied part-time history at the universities of Nijmegen and Utrecht from 2006 to 2012. As a historian, he has conducted research into, among other things, the First World War and the Cold War. For this archival and field research, he visited many locations along both the Eastern and Western Front.
Michiel Kruidenier (1971) studied Art History & Archeology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). As an independent architectural historian, he conducted research into military heritage from the period 19401965, commissioned by the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE). He is also active as an editor and copywriter and has published several books in the field of twentieth-century architecture. (www.onderstesteen.com)
Sights of Struggle
The History of the Tambo Village Women
Mavis Mtandeki is one of South Africa’s first black female photographers. She has worked as a housekeeper in the white suburbs of Cape Town. For years, Mtandeki took a media course alongside her job. She did this to the politically motivated Community Arts Project. Here Mtandeki learned to photograph and began to record the lives of the women around her. In doing so, she not only documented the political transformation of the country and the transition of women’s organizations from the United Women’s Congress to the African National Congress Women’s League, but also the difficult and dangerous relocation of countless women from KTC to Tambo Village. As the main settlement financed by the new government after the first free elections in 1994, Tambo Village bears witness to the resistance of the women and their political claim to land and homes.
This book tells the story of these courageous women, captured through the lens of Mavis Mtandeki.
Marie Meyerding is a PhD student at the Department of African Art History at the Freie Universität Berlin. Her dissertation examines the representation of women in the history of photography in South Africa during apartheid. Meyerding holds an MA with honors in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art. Her research has been published in academic journals, including African Arts, Third Text, Critical Arts, Safudi and Sehepunkte Meyerding’s exhibition proposal was selected in apexart NYC’s open call and she will be curating “Defiant Visions” at apexart, New York in June 2023. She is currently a predoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
With this photo book, Anno van der Heide captures a relatively unknown subculture that, surprisingly enough, continues to attract young people. Many photos were taken during D-Day, the annual rock ‘n roll festival in Amsterdam. Old and young rockers, rockabilly’s and psychobilly’s from all over Western Europe meet there in a remarkably harmonious atmosphere. She took some photos on the street, or during other Dutch rock ‘n roll festivals, where the audience is partly the same.
The photos from Keep on Rockin’ cover a longer period - between approximately 1998 and 2022. By returning again and again, shooting openly and only taught and immersing herself in the cheerful party, Anno gained the confidence of the rockers.
Her photos are raw and unpolished. She photographs people directly and close up, resulting in spontaneous images. For example, she took the photo of the tattooed calves while she was dancing along.
Greasers, petticoats, old-timers, fries, rock ‘n’ roll and beer. Rock and roll is still alive and kicking. Dancing until late into the night and afterwards spending the night slightly intoxicated in the oldtimer….
Anno van der Heide (1951) is a documentary photographer, visual artist and journalist. As a photographer she was best known for her African portraits(*) in Keep on Rockin’ are also many portraits, this time of rough rockers, rockabilly’s and psychobilly’s.
(*)These African street photos led to solo exhibitions in Spaarnestad FotoArchief, Museum Gerardus van der Leeuw, Volkenkundig Museum Nijmegen, RASA, Verkeerskok, Neeltje Jans. In Gallery Eduard Planting Fine Art Photographs showed some rock ‘n roll photos.
Photos published in De Volkskrant (Yemen), HP/De Tijd (Gambia), Vice Versa (East and West Africa), Het Parool (Rock ’n Roll and Keti Koti), AD (Seville).
The stories in this book tell of the first successful ascents of Europe’s most iconic mountains, combined with personal experiences and images of climbing these attractive peaks in the twenty-first century. The mountains are always changing and so are the people who climb them. Two hundred and fifty years ago, the early climbers were mainly driven by faith, fame and fortune or the urge to unravel the secrets of science. Later mountain climbing became more of a leisure activity and people moved into the mountains for personal and spiritual reasons. This is where the true soul of alpinism originates. It is an inner call to go into the mountains and soar high above the rest of the world in order to be forced to a different, broader view of life.
This book can be an inspiration to many of you. Whether you are interested in the history of mountaineering or want to climb one of these eye-catching peaks yourself. With the help of this book, specific training, quality equipment and the availability of professional mountaineering guides, the iconic peaks described in The Soul of Mountaineering can be added to the bucket list of anyone willing to invest in proper equipment and fitness. Dedicating yourself to reaching the top of one of Europe’s most iconic mountains can be an enriching and even life-changing experience.
Martin Fickweiler
Photographer and mountain climber. Has impressive climbs to his name and is the author and photographer of the successful book Multi Pitch Climbing in Europe (DATO 2016). Writes for national and international mountain sports magazines, taking care of the photography as a climbing photographer.
At the end of 1979, a new phenomenon appears in the Amsterdam nightlife: the Polaroid photographer. The New York artists Bettie Ringma and Marc H. Miller temporarily exchange their loft in the Lower East Side for a houseboat in Amsterdam and start selling instant photo portraits in pubs around Rembrandtplein, Leidseplein and Zeedijk. They pioneered a practice that continues today. The pair photograph in brown pubs, Turkish cafés, transvestite bars and queer clubs, build up a regular clientele and meet remarkable people such as ‘Ko the Muscleman’, the self-confident ‘animer girl’ Nettie and the extravagant pub owner-annex-pigeon fancier Henk. It’s a time of big moustaches, full ashtrays and unrestrained hedonism.
Ringma and Miller took countless photos that were distributed among the nightlife public, but – sponsored by Polaroid – they also built their own collection of more than 350 Polaroid portraits of Amsterdam bargoers. Forty years later, this collection is a time capsule of the raw but colorful Amsterdam nightlife in the year 1980. Selling Polaroids in the Bars of Amsterdam, 1980 is the first photo book of this unique collection. In addition to a large selection of Polaroids, the book contains descriptions by Marc H. Miller and essays by Mark Bergsma and Leonor Faber-Jonker about Amsterdam nightlife around 1980 and the artistic practice of Ringma and Miller, respectively.
Bettie Ringma & Marc H. Miller
The Dutch Bettie Ringma (1944-2018) and Marc H. Miller (1946, New York) worked together on various art projects between 1975 and 1981. Their work has been shown at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (2012) and the Queens Museum (2016) in New York City, among others. An exhibition of the Polaroid portraits in the Stigter Van Doesburg gallery in 2018 generated a great deal of media attention and resulted in the purchase of 250 photos by the Amsterdam City Archives.
Leonor Faber-Jonker (1987, Amsterdam) is a writer and artist. She wrote No Future Now. Punk in the Netherlands 1977-2012 (Lebowski, 2012) and curated and co-curated exhibitions on art and underground in the 1980s at WORM, Melkweg Expo and SCHUNCK. Her essays have appeared in Tubelight, Extaze and Metropolis M, among others.
Mark Bergsma (1990, Harlingen) is a historian and co-owner and founder of the Amsterdam bureau for public history Van Yesterday. Marks specialization is modern history in the socio-cultural field, with a particular focus on the LGBT+ past, the interwar period, personal ads and women’s history.
De Meester en de Reus

In the time of the guilds in the Golden Age, painters were allowed to paint their own hand to test their skill. After that, hands proved to be a stumbling block for many painters; they are difficult to paint and are often hidden or omitted in paintings. And that’s strange, because hands can tell more than a facial expression.
This book is a selection of over 300 hands painted by Bas Peeperkorn.
As a diary, he paints his own hand every day. Guided by his mood or current events, his hand tells the story of the day. One day raw and expressive in heavy strokes and bright colors, the next day soft and transparent as water. Everyone can give their own associations and interpretations to this bombardment of images. It is an overview but also a reference work in which you can find your hand of the day.
“I watch my hands from a distance; they are dynamic and seem to have a life of their own; they can hold, point, wave, scratch, hammer, peel, pick and pet things. They are optimistic and melancholic at the same time and worry about the past and future. They also have to be washed often if they are covered in paint.’ (interview Esther Smid, Het Financieele Dagblad 24-04-2021)
Bas Peeperkorn’s autonomous painting flows seamlessly into applied assignments and theater sets. With roots in painting, graduated from the Rietveld academy (1992) he makes paintings, sculptures and a diary with painted hands. His work is figurative and preferably works in a variety of styles. For example, he combines old painting techniques with collage or car spray. The subjects always arise from everyday observations.
His work has been shown at ‘de Salon’ Central Museum Utrecht, Cultuurgebouw de Meerse in Hoofddorp, Kunstvlaai Westerpark, Hooghuis Arnhem and W139 in Amsterdam.
He also carries out art assignments and designs or makes sets for theatre.
Cupfighters
KNVB beker 1970 - 1980
BouwesDe Kortste Weg naar Europa was published in 2021, in which sports writer Ernst Bouwes sketched a picture of the emergence of the Dutch top players during the coming of age of professional football on the basis of ten seasons of the KNVB Cup during the 1960s. It is precisely the dramatic knockout system that makes the cup tournament a wonderful guideline to retrieve this part of our football history. Reviews wrote “The book is a real must-have for football fans” (Staantribune) and “Bouwes serves up tasty currants from the football porridge with beautiful anecdotes.” (De Sportwereld), while Voetbal International valued the release with eight balls out of a maximum of ten.
Just before the cup final in April 2023, Bouwes publishes Cupfighters, in which he exhibits the successful 1970s in Dutch football. Through stories about ten cup seasons, the reader travels back to a time of World Cup finalists, European Cup winners, but also of cup sensations and unusual players. Memories of the ultimate cupfighter IJsselmeervogels, Wageningen’s 1-6 at PSV, TV presenter Frank Kramer, two balls in the field at Feyenoord and the sawed through goalposts in the Zuiderpark.
In addition to a lot of reading pleasure, Cupfighters also offers a beautiful visual image of the time with many beautiful photos and a hymn to the beautiful football pictures from the time.
Ernst Bouwes (1963) fell into a barrel of leather grease as a child. As a sports journalist he wrote stories and columns for JOHAN and ELF Voetbal and abroad for When Saturday Comes, FourFourTwo, ESPN Soccernet, Elf Freunde and the Japanese World football.
Photographer Kees Martens has been living in Woensel West to his full satisfaction for more than 30 years. He has seen the neighborhood in the northwest of Eindhoven change from slum to ‘power district’ and has recorded that development.
The Woensel West district was built in the 1930s to the 1950s to meet the growing demand for workers’ homes for Philips employees. In the 1980s and 1990s, the neighborhood got a bad name due to crime and prostitution. After that, with national support, efforts from the municipality of Eindhoven and especially from housing corporation Trudo, recovery started. Kees Martens photographed the demolition, renovation and new construction of homes. He contacted the residents, natives and immigrants, and photographed them in their living rooms. Part of the project was that Martens wanted to investigate what the ‘original’ residents thought of the changes in their neighbourhood. Did they still feel at home? He also documented activities that were organized with and for the residents to promote solidarity.
Kees Martens (1959), born in Amsterdam, moved as a baby to Herten in Limburg and then to Asten in Brabant, where his mother taught and raised the three children alone; father died when Kees was 5 years old. He did grammar school in Deurne and forestry in Wageningen, to exchange that after a year and a half for Academy St. Joost in Breda. And eventually finds his footing at photo press agency
Van de Meulenhof, now DCI Media, but continues to make autonomous work in addition to photojournalism.
Rob Schoonen worked for 21 years as a journalist at the art editors of the Eindhovens Dagblad.
Jan van Schagen (1940 - 2022) has published regularly on the history of his birthplace Eindhoven. This book is his final work.
Eindhoven is the city of major changes. From 6,000 inhabitants around 1900 to almost 240,000 in 2022. All this was accompanied by an enormous transformation that has been going on for about 120 years. Among other things, the arrival of Philips, the Second World War, the reconstruction and the current growth spurt of the Brainport region have had a major influence on the appearance of the city.
This book shows, based on old and new photos of fifty places in the city, what this did and is doing to Eindhoven.
On December 3, 2022, shortly after the publication of this book, Jan van Schagen passed away at the age of 82.
Verder vooruit De toekomst van mobiliteit
We move further and further and hardly let ourselves be slowed down due to increasing climate change. But stopping mobility is not an option. Man wants to move forward. In the meantime, the car has developed into a ‘dataproducing embedded software platform’ and the internet links supply and demand to meet our transport needs more effectively. Like any industry facing digitalization, changes are coming at us at an exponential rate.
This book is the sequel to the book ‘Vooruit’ in which mobility experts Maarten Steinbuch and Carlo van de Weijer have summarized the best of the first two years of their weekly column in the FD (Financieele Dagblad). In ‘FURTHER FORWARD’ they continue to separate the sense and nonsense of all mobility developments.
How do we keep moving in an increasingly crowded country? Will we ever fly sustainably? Do we still remain in the driver’s seat as human beings? All vehicles electric, is that possible?
