Hi Jayce!
Following up on our conversation... I will be in Nederland as of Friday for
a couple months and wonder if you can help connect me up with someone who
might have suggestions directing me to artists and sites. I am interested in
furthering my research and building of collaborations for inner-city arts
and new media projects.

I will be in Amsterdam and Nederland July 13 to Aug 30, plus very brief 4
day visits each to Brussels Aug 2-6 and Prague Aug 20-24.
   
Given you and i have done so much work in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, i
am seeking contacts with inner-city arts centres. I am really seeking arts
sites that have managed to integrate some of the following: new media,
contemporary arts, outsider arts, poverty, mental illness, addiction (all
similar to the Vancouver projects i am helping direct.)

Additionally, for September to November 2007, I am curating The Work of
Migration that looks at migration, racism and trauma, so also very
interested in artists tackling such human impacts.

In late August i will do surveillance/low-light video work following the
route my father took in 1944 to live underground in Drenthe.

I risk writing a proposal here, so i best stop. I've patched some links
below from my CV for backgrounder.

best,
x Irwin Oostindie
