This is a research performance for the piece Zarathustra’s Nietzsche to be written by Henri van Zanten for Mach.

In 1982 Henri van Zanten started making theatre with pieces he wrote himself. The Collectors. The Lecture of a taciturn person. In the 90’s he started rapping and writting poetic texts for Phototheatre pieces like “Bluebeard paints his beard” and “The Devil’s Workshop”. Apart from that he has written and improvised lyrics for his bands.

Normally my function as the webmeister of this blog takes place behind the scenes: Besides maintaining the technical aspects of the weblog I hope that my media training sessions with van Zanten will continue to be as fruitful as up to the present. Although I could mention some points of critique. At the moment I don’t want to write about irregularly posting intervals with long breaks, keeping the interested readership in a painful state of uncertainity.

But now it’s not the time for criticism, first things first. The Grande Opening of the second edition of the Depression Promotion Centre was overshadowed by a dramatic incident. After an inspiring speech by DPC veteran and PvDA polititian Ronald Motta the notorious Curator X appeared in public and addressed the audience from the balcony. Maybe he got upset about the general Dutch cultural and political climate moving to yet to be explored low pressure areas, maybe he got overexcited about the mental, spiritual and certainly physical expansion space he created together with curator Verbrugge, resulting in the convincing manfestation of Depression Promotion Centre 2 in the former Dutch Photomuseum.

I heard rumors about a latent valvular heart disease of Curator X but actually I cannot confirm this by any official source. Anyhow, after a few opening sentences Curator X caught a conceptual heart attack and collapsed all of a sudden. The public grew stiff by this apparently unfortunate calamity. Even the floating pancakes of our fellow artist Hugo Lammerink couldn’t comfort the frightened listeners, but who knows…

Probably inspired by this substantial rural meal, the art loving farmer Harm Koeimaar from Het Boerenbond entered the scene like a Deus ex machina from a Greek tragedy. Thanks to this brilliant stylistic hat trick the instant surrogate of Curator X succeeded in boiling down pretentious musings and intellectual reflections (about art and its function in society) to the very essence, hereby increasing awareness and enlightment at a larger part of the audience than Curator X possibly ever would have managed to. Although I have to admit that his dialect in combination with the reverberation of the hall complicated the understanding slightly:

• “Art? What is art? something about quality that is supposed to generate quantity, right?
• … [unidentified dialectic articulalations] … !
• Everybody is able to appreciate art, therefore you don’t need to understand art.”
• “Art can be … [more unidentified dialectic articulalations] … as well as at the farm.”
• One obsession of the average taxpayer seems to be the notion that “the artist” is wasting exactly that particular fraction of the taxpayers’ money which he paid himself. Based on this false assumption the average taxpayer is claiming a certain decisive power regarding the artist and his artistic fate, … [more unidentified dialectic articulalations] … leads to some sort of public tribunal.”

In a final attempt to silence any possible doubt and upcoming discussion about his bold claims our substitutional farmer used a little help from Godwin’s law, he referred to the rather unsuccessful painter A. Schicklgruber from Austria, who gained quite some fame for the substitution of his artistic failure with a rather “turbulent political career”.

After these nothing hindered the art loving farmer Harm Koeimaar from Het Boerenbond to open the exhibition.

Please leave your “Get well soon!” wishes in the comments! Flowers, gifts, cards and other signs of appreciation for Curator X you can send or deliver to:

Curator X
Witte de Withstraat 63
3012 BN Rotterdam

Thanks in advance. Curator X, get well soon!

1. Depression Promotion Centre 2: FAQ & Facts
2. Depression Promotion Centre 2 closed spectacularly
3. PRCcondensed1

? Is it true that the Depression Promotion Centre 2 wants me to be depressed or even more depressed than i already am?
Not at all. Feel free to enjoy the Depression Promotion Center, but in case you are really suffering from depressions, you are welcome to join the club. Like Stigmadome for example.

? Can i become a member of the Depression Promotion Centre 2?
Unfortunately the Depression Promotion Centre is not an organisation or society or club.

? Does the Depression Promotion Centre 2 have a management team or general staff?
No, it is organised by autonomously acting hosts: Harmen Verbrugge for the art exhibition, Henri van Zanten for the live performances and musical activities, Curator X for the overall ideology, O.W. for interviews.

? Who designed the flyer?
Henri van Zanten in collaboration with Herman Keetbaas of
De Boog Printers
Rotterdam
Tel. +31 – (0)10 – 4661454

? Will the catering in fact only consist of water and bread during the openings?
Yes, you are supposed to attend the exhibition for the sake of art and artists.

? Is our society really victim to all those apocalyptic questions put in the flyer?
Who knows.

? Why is the Depression Promotion Centre 2 hosted on www.henrivanzanten.com?
Because Curator X is too shy to have his own siteblog.

Any question? The please leave a comment and I will answer you ASAP.

I staged it 13 x since 1981. Doing it in Jena was a special experience. There was still the smell of Stasi and distrust. When i started working with my group, they were shy, but after 3 weeks stressdesigning we ended up as a wild bunch together.

Well see for yourself!

Improvisations within the Flow of Existence

Existence is all about improvisation… if you dare to enjoy it! Look at nature! Improvisation is like breathing for me. In my life and so in my art, there’s no distinction. Panta Rei, everything flows. Heraclitus, the brilliant pre-socratic Greek philosopher said one can never dive twice into the same river, because the river flows and changes. Never the same. As is the river of our life, of our time, of our art, of our flow… One take perfection!

Cactoanalysis is not just a fata morgana or an empty well in the desert of psychological stigmatization, pharmaceutical junkyfication and the religion of psychoanalytical diagnosis. Cactoanalysis stands for juicy growth of insight and enjoyment in touchy matters of the human mind and brain. We are not a mental illness! Let’s meet another cactus…

As omniartist I do many things at the same time. In that way I can keep my creativity on a high energy and concentration level – like a permanent orgasm. And of course, having a skull filled with fireworks, every ‘explosion’ (spark of the big bang) is a message looking for it’s medium. So no time for a dull moment! Life is to be discovered, dis-covered, otherwise it will be suffocated and then suffocate.

It is in fact a happy story, because it never ends. This part we – the spirits we are – choose to be in a body on the earth.

Tabula Rasa Perpertuum Mobile …. Status Quo Vadis?….Utopia Fata Morgana Deja Vu …don’t call in the desert it’ll make you thirsty …. There is no centre that’s the point…/>

Blank or blank again without end / were do we go with what stays the same / utopia a fata morgana which is a deja vu / …………………………/ ……………….

Now the first line just came up and then the quotes came together into this quatraine. Like the 4 winds. West ahead of sundown/East into the sunset/South sunbathing and famine/North snow and white seals… And then the line in the centre!?

My Webmeister Helmuth Ziegenmalte started complaining that I neglected my website.The last page was my first journal entry, ‘god knows how long ago already’. It is true, I confess. But, yes BUT …take a look at http::/www.youtube.com/henrivanzanten and you will see for yourself what I have been doing with what i have been doing…

Today i will start my journal at last. Have been too busy up to now. That’s what i said to myself all the time. But time is our own decision. A decision to make an incision in oblivion.

Last friday i gave a concert for the first time since 20 years with my band God Knows the Absence. It was in the Arminus Church in Rotterdam, as part of a revival party of the antiscene in the 80’s, also in Rotterdam. A book of photo’s of that period by Carla van Marel was presented. It was not back to the past or the future. It was back to the present. A Merlin-machine action.

Check God Knows The Absence – I Could Give. This was our final song of the concert.

I’ll keep in touch with more bedtime stories.H.
