Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen
Anachronistic in normal periods, in peace time the bunker appears as a survival machine, a shipwrecked submarine on the beach. It speaks to us of other elements, of terrific atmospheric pressure of an unusual world in which science and technology have developed the possibility of final disintegration.

Perennial Conceits
Frank Taal Gallery, Rotterdam
Group Show. Curated by Thomas I'Anson and Frank Taal.
This exhibition is the first of its kind at Frank Taal Gallery. 11 Artists exhibit in this exhibition all working, in many senses, beyond figuration. The emphasis of the show is on the unknown yet common place, the depictable and recognizable but non-figurative:
Maybe simple shapes, primary colours - an assumed simplicity that obscures a reality too complex to perhaps ever comprehend. Images as residues, as questions. Questions for the artist, for the audience, a form of meditation, an unanswerable question posed to the universe - what the fuck are you? Perennial conceits, for me as the co-curator of this exhibition, are specifically what I try to avoid in my own artwork and what i believe the artists invited for this show are able to skillfully and elegantly avoid.
Thomas I'Anson, 2012

How to Tell a Lie
A workshop exploring propaganda. Devised and run by Harald den Breejen (Rijksakademie) and Thomas I'Anson (AKV St. Joost). Open to all 2nd and 3rd year BFA students at AKV St. Joost.
HOW TO TELL A LIE
---
The below statement is true
The above statement is false
---
This workshop will deal with the use of propaganda.
What does propaganda look like, or what does it sound like? What is propaganda? Which brand of yoghurt will you buy the next time you go into the neon fruit supermarket?
During the course of a week we will research all these questions and more. Using a variety of media, we will attempt to indoctrinate you. Participating students will try to resist.
We can give you in writing that this workshop will be better than the others on offer; in fact we just have.
Part of this introduction already has been a lie.
See you in October.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas and Harald

Incubate, Tilburg
Incubate is the annual celebration of independent culture.
Participating visual artists include:
Anita Hrnic, Klaas Burger, Matijs van de Kerkhof, Sven Fritz, Teun Jansen & Joshua van Iersel, Constant Dullaart, Rob Scholte, Jimmy Joe Roche, Boris de Vries, Hester Scheurwater, Iris van Dongen, Jeroen Doorenweerd, Koen Delaere, Marc Bijl, Martijn Hendriks, Rafaël Rozendaal, Ronald de Bloeme, Ryan Trecartin and Thomas I'Anson.
Tilburg Ink
In the tattoo world, the one who handles the needle is considered the artist. From the perspective of the fine arts this is a unique situation because the ‘tattoo artist’ merely makes a copy of an already existing image. Ten contemporary artists such as Ronald de Bloeme, Marc Bijl, Rafael Rozendaal and Thomas I'Anson will create their own designs for tattoos. This collection will be presented in the traditional way, on so-called "flash sheets". Incubate will distribute these to tattoo shops throughout the Netherlands. This project will theoretically create an infinite number of copies of these artist’s works. During the festival visitors can have the works tattooed by master tattoo artist Darko Groenhagen for free.
September 17 - September 19, 12pm - 8pm daily

This is War
Proudly produced for Incubate 2010
A different kind of war, one against ourselves. Conflicting interests, convenience before sacrifice. Aspirational living redefining slavery. The other side of the world - a world away. What does a commercial image extol? A quickening refracted through a magazine, billboard, television set. Symbols and triggers. Ideas within paradigms. A sense of purpose; a way to live, a reason to live, a reason for being. Empty slogans extolling virtue. Resounding diatribes. Confused meaning, no clear answer or justification. A sense of loss, a feeling of alienation. A bemused smile greeting a new plan of attack.
The ever present commercial image in our daily lives is something firmly fixed in the world in which we find ourselves. I was in some of these images, part of the visual pollution that defines this era. The prints i have made for this exhibition are not attempts to mock or destroy the original images but subvert and diffuse their potency for which they were originally designed. A mixture of fashion 'editorial' and 'campaign' imagery of myself from 2005-2007 has been used to produce these portraits. I have never been comfortable with the images, nor am i any more comfortable with them after appropriating them for this exhibition. A cathartic project. Piracy in an age of endless, easily accessible, instant information and imagery. Everything you do or say recorded for posterity, your life and history online, with or without consent, possibly forever.
Original Images by John Balsom, Horst, Venetia Scott, Jurgen Teller and Paola Kudacki. Text appropriated from Carroll Quigley's treatise, Tradgedy & Hope, A History of the World in Our Time and Edward Bernays's, Propaganda, All available online.
