Effenaar opens its doors to live audiences again

This Saturday, Effenaar will welcome a live audience for the first time in four months. It marks the first concert since the coronavirus pandemic forced theatres and other public venues to close back in March.

The concert venue marks its return with a concert by Jeangu Macrooy, a Surinamese singer. Macrooy will perform on the main stage to an audience of 100 people. According to the Dutch government’s coronavirus measures, theatres and performance spaces may host up to 100 people from 1 July.

Audience members must keep one and a half metres distance from each other. In addition, they must wash their hands upon entering the building. Singing and shouting is also not allowed, as the coronavirus spreads via droplets from the mouth.

Effenaar has hosted several dozen digital concerts throughout the coronavirus crisis. Audiences could watch along at home via a live stream.

Spirit lingers in Philips de Jongh Park

Spirit lingers in Philips de Jongh Park

A labyrinth was unveiled in Philips de Jongh Park this weekend amid great interest. It is a posthumous gift from legendary Eindhoven DJ Lady Aïda.

DJ from Eindhoven

The DJ – whose real name was Aïda Spaninks – enjoyed international fame and was an inspiration to many people with her music, versatility and spirituality. Hence also the great interest at the unveiling of her gift, which, in addition to being a gift to Eindhoven is of course also a memento of her personality. “Warm, sweet, special. And we could laugh and howl with her,” said two visitors to the unveiling. They see the labyrinth as a place where they can go when they need comfort or just want to think of the late DJ.

Sound

The Rebelbass foundation, commissioned by Spaninks to create the labyrinth, is not yet finished. Sound still needs to be added to the monument – entirely in the spirit of DJ Aïda. Chairman Ron van der Sterren is talking with several sound artists who will create special audio at the memorial. Every year, it is planned, a new audio tour will be added to the maze. So that walkers and passersby in the park can briefly imagine themselves in another world altogether…. because that’s how dj lady Aïda, in her last stage of life, conceived it all.

´Show Your Hope’ – the art project that became a mini-festival

´Show Your Hope’ – the art project that became a mini-festival

How does one define hope? This is the question local Dutch artist, Martin Voorbij, has asked thousands of artists worldwide over the past few decades.

Rather than responding to him in words, Voorbij requested them to reply to him by painting their personal interpretation of the theme ‘hope’. This weekend, Voorbij will exhibit part of his art collection at De Sociale Dienst in Eindhoven, during the Show Your Hope – Mini Art Festival.

The exhibition will be made up mainly of works that Martin collected during his bus tour through Tunisia several years ago. The artist himself will offer guided tours, discussing some of the paintings. He will share a few of his Show Your Hope adventures abroad too. There will also be a photo presentation of Voorbij´s trip through Tunisia, and Tunisian food and music.

Pitch Parade

Since many Tunisian artists that Voorbij visited spoke words of revolution, this weekend´s mini-festival will also provide for a so-called Pitch Parade. This will offer live columnists a stage on which to talk about revolution, hope, art, and the current changes in our society.

Also, the festival offers an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the Show Your Hope collection artists and participate in a painting workshop on Sunday, 12 May. The workshop is suitable for children as well as adults.

The mini-festival runs from tomorrow afternoon, 10 May until Sunday, 12 May. On 10 and 11 May, it will be open from 16:00 to 02:00 and on 12 May from 12:00-00:00. The painting workshop will be between 13:00 and 17:00.

Although admission is free, the painting workshop will set you back €3. The Show Your Hope – Mini Art Festival will be held at De Sociale Dienst, 4-6 Deken van Somerenstraat in Eindhoven. Please visit their Facebook event page for more information.

TU/e and NXP join forces

Eindhoven University of Technology is going to collaborate with NXP. University and company want to develop a new, promising communication technology. To this end, the parties signed an agreement on Wednesday.

From NXP, specialists from the company will work together with scientists from the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute. Both parties will make data, knowledge, students and employees available for the cooperation.

Together, the chipmaker and TU/e want to get a new “groundbreaking” technology off the ground, using frequencies above 300 gigahertz. Current technologies that try to make use of these high frequencies perform unevenly, TU/e says.

“TU/e is known for its pioneering work in the field of wireless communications, an area essential to the strategic sovereignty of both the Netherlands and Europe. NXP has been an important partner in this field for many years,” reveals CEO Robert-Jan Smits.

Track record

“Cooperation with leading universities is an integral part of NXP’s innovation strategy,” said Lars Reger, vice president of NXP.

“Eindhoven University of Technology’s proven track record in collaboration with industry gives us full confidence to expand our collaboration. This will lead to new innovations in communication technologies and advanced driver assistance systems, an area in which NXP is a world leader in semiconductors.”

Collaboration

This is the second time in a short time that TU/e has entered into a partnership with a major player in the Brainport region. Earlier it was announced that ASML is investing in the university, building a clean room there, among other things.

Samen voor Nederland (together for the Netherlands) back protesting farmers and protest against Corona measures

Demonstrators gathered in a large group on Sunday in Eindhoven to show their support for farmers and their dissatisfaction with the Corona measures.

It was an initiative by Samen voor Nederland and started from Stadhuisplein. By noon, the square was filled with young and old protesters. They carried flags with texts such as ‘real citizens support farmers’, as well as flags bearing gravely insulting texts. The dissatisfaction among the crowd was not only because of the government’s treatment of farmers and the nitrogen policy. There were also people who expressed their aversion to “the media” and Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s corona policy. One of the best-known attendees was the foreman of Virus Truth, Willem Engel.

The protesters began their march through Eindhoven after they had been whipped up with music and speeches at the Stadhuisplein. The aim of the demonstration was to tell the government to stop bullying farmers and to end the Corona measures.

DDW attracts visitors from all over the world

Eindhoven’s Dutch Design Week had a busy opening-weekend. The DDW attracts visitors from all over the world.

Eindhoven’s municipality and the DDW organization look back at the DDW opening weekend with great satisfaction. They remarked, the city is bubbling and bustling. There are visitors and colleagues from all over the world.

“It is full of people; overflowing in many places. As a result, there is no fresh orange juice available at eateries and hotels”, jokes Martijn Paulen of the Dutch Design Foundation.

Alderman Monique List shares his enthusiasm. “The attraction is especially the variety of visitors. International and local, young and old!” She also stresses the importance of attention from “The Hague”.  Minister of Education Ingrid van Engelshoven and members of the Dutch Tweede-Kamer visited DDW during the opening weekend.

This year, the influx from abroad is striking, as usual. The number of foreign media, for example, who cover DDW.  Drivers of DDW taxis also notice many visitors from abroad. “I meet people from all over the world in my car; from Australia and East Asia to Ukraine and the United States. This makes you proud to be a native of Eindhoven,” says one of the dozens of drivers.

Until Sunday, the work of 2600 designers can be admired at 110 locations in Eindhoven. Last year, the DDW lured 335,000 visitors to Eindhoven.

Potato mountain comes to Campinaterrein

Potato mountain comes to Campinaterrein

Saturday, 27 June will be a great day for potato lovers. A ‘potato mountain’, made of thousands of kilos of potatoes will be delivered to Campinaterrein in Eindhoven.

As eateries closed and festivals cancelled due to the coronavirus crisis, the food and hospitality industry purchased far fewer potatoes than normal. This led to a huge surplus of potatoes that suppliers could not sell.

To prevent the surplus from going to waste, the potatoes are offered to the public. A similar event in Amsterdam at the beginning of the month saw 20 tons of potatoes go on sale to the public. They quickly sold out.

Via the Too Good To Go app, you can reserve a time slot to buy potatoes. The event runs from 12:00 noon to 18:00.
