Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst, originally uploaded by bartvanpoll.

Finally went to Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst last weekend.

A great and big location, and promising exhibitions in the booklet. However, most was not really my cup of tea – very weird exhibitions!

We visited the Stadsarchief in Amsterdam (check out this article by Amsterdam local Patty) today. There was a very cool “New York Perspectives” exhibiton; Amsterdam viewed by 4 local New York photographers.
And what a very cool building this “Amsterdamse School” building is… Visited the basement with the vaults for the first time today. Check out this photoset for a few more pics.

Almost every Amsterdam local dreams about skating on the ice on the canals at least once in his or her life.

It was almost possible in Amsterdam, until a stupid Meijers rondvaartboten captain (who didn’t know the Keizersgracht was closed off) destroyed the ice.

It’s a hot topic on the Amsterdam Centraal blog. Even the Skipper replied, and apologizes on the website! Very funny to read (in Dutch)

Cool concert! All day I’ve been mumbling “buma in m’n zak, movin’ on up…” and I have no idea what it means.
