You’ll find us at Kunstgras 2010

On Wednes­day 2 June you’ll find me at Kun­st­gras 2010; an event where cre­ative entre­pre­neurs from the Utrecht area and beyond meet and exchange ideas. The We Love Cre­atief Utrecht book, which includes an inter­view myself, will be pre­sent­ed there as well. (Many thanks to Karel Mil­lenaar of Fource­Labs for mak­ing that happen.)

It’s not often that the local cre­ative scene is mixed up in this fash­ion — I’ve most­ly been pre­sent­ing Hub­bub at games relat­ed events — so it’ll be inter­est­ing to see how peers from oth­er fields (such as fash­ion, prod­uct design and archi­tec­ture) respond to our take on things. Here at Hub­bub we’re con­tin­u­ous­ly inves­ti­gat­ing the appli­ca­tion of play in many dif­fer­ent cul­tur­al domains and this research is thor­ough­ly prac­tice-based, so it obvi­ous­ly fol­lows that we’re always look­ing for inter­est­ing folk from oth­er fields to col­lab­o­rate with.

The pro­gram includes Erwin Blom, Iken­na Azuike (Straw­ber­ry Earth & Clean Drinks), Kunstenaars&CO, Waag Soci­ety’s Cre­ative Learn­ing Lab, the Fly­ing Grass Car­pet and Arts the Beat­doc­tor.

Should be good.

(For those won­der­ing, “kun­st­gras” is Dutch for arti­fi­cial turf. Hence the image. I’m as con­fused as you are.)
