Agenda

GIPSY JAZZ-ZIGEUNERMUZIEK
36E EDITIE PETIT SAMOIS – VANAF 14 UUR TOT LAAT

Zaterdag 4 juli 2026

De 36e editie van het jaarlijkse Gipsy Jazz Festival in Samois-sur-Seine (Frankrijk), ter ere van de muzikale nalatenschap van Django Reinhardt, wordt ook in Nederland "Petit Samois" gevierd. Dit intieme muziekfestival vindt plaats tussen de woonwagens in de achtertuin van Nieuw en Meer.
Het festival werd in 1990 opgericht door woonwagenbewoner en bassist Cor Jonker. Sindsdien is het uitgegroeid tot een geliefde traditie die, ook na Cor's verhuizing, elk jaar wordt voortgezet door de bewoners.
Gipsy jazzmuzikanten kunnen zich van tevoren aanmelden via +31 6 27458547 of via de officiële FB pagina: Petit Samois.

Oude Haagseweg 51, 1066 DC Amsterdam, Netherlands

Mathias Lüscher (*1994) is a Swiss visual artist working at the intersection of painting and sculpture. His artistic practice explores the relationship between humanity, artificial materials, and technology. His works create speculative realities that reflect on the material traces of our time – from fossil remains to the technological fantasies of future worlds. Materials become carriers of tension, memory, and malleability. Through processes of cutting, heating, and scratching, he investigates states of matter, transitions, and ruptures, revealing the myth of cyclical transformation embedded within the material itself.

De ovale koepel 'Canticle of the birds' staat nu aangekondigd in de expositie Feest van de Geest.
Elf kerken op de Utrechtse Heuvelrug stellen hun deuren open tussen Hemelvaart en Pinksteren.
Elsbeth Pluimers staat in de Andrieskerk in Amerongen.

Open: 14, 16, 17, 23, 24, 25 mei
Tussen 13 en 17 uur is de kunstenaar aanwezig om toelichting te geven over het 12e-eeuwse Perzische verhaal van de reis van de vogels.

History

Originally the Nieuw en Meer complex was a weapons and ammunition depot of Defense. The first buildings date from 1918 and were part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam. Until the early eighties of the 20th century the site was in use of Defense. After the last conflict in 1962 in, at that time, ‘Dutch New Guinea’, the military stores fell into disuse.

On June 25, 1988, when Marco van Basten caused a collective ecstasy in the Netherlands, the buildings at Oude Haagseweg 51 at the outskirt of Amsterdam, were squatted by a group of artists an activists from the squat at Conradstraat 11.
