In
2004, exactly 60 years after the liberation of
Auschwitz I made a film about the liberation of
Auschwitz. The video installation A Victim's
Perspective had its worldpremiere at the San
Francisco Jewish Film Festival in San Francisco.
You
can learn more about A Victim's Perspective
here. I made the
mural below in the Schoonderloo Studio's in
Rotterdam.
Huisje (Little House)
Jnauary 14, 2010
Since childhood I am
fascinated by our galaxy and space exploration. In various
artworks I have incorporated this fascination. In my work "60"
I painted the moon landing and in my work "I
Will Win 5 - The History" I painted the moon landing and the
Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper and
Google Earth inspired me in 2007 to create a
contemporary piece of art which we can all see with
computer programs like Google Earth and TerraServer when
we go to Vlaardingen, the Netherlands.
In September 2010 I will paint 21 big white circles
containing a number ranging from 1 to 21 on apartment buildings
in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands.
If one connects each numbered circle an
archetype House of 1.2 kilometers emerges.
After the House in
Vlaardingen, the Netherlands (Europe), I want the
realize Tree in South America, Animal in Africa and Car
in North America.

Since 2005 I show
every year a selfportrait of 10 x 6 meters
(= 30 by 22 feet.)
along the course of the ING New York City Marathon in order
to give
WNBC-helikopters
the opportunity to film-broadcast my latest I Will Win
selfportait for 6-7 seconds into the homes of 260 million people
in 125 countries.
(see the
pressletter)\
In order to make this happen I will give 400 red tulips, one
for each year we are friends, away to 400 runners who run
the New York City Marathon this sunday. I will give the red
tulips away in front of my next I Will Win selfportrait (see
location)
Tulips will surprise New York

Manifesta 2010 February 28, 2009
At the moment I am working at 12 Stars
for Manifesta 2010 in Murcia. 12 Stars is adopting Murcia’s Strategy
Against Climate Change (Estrategia Local
Contra el Cambio Climático) as it use
12 solar light cannons to beam 12 Stars
toward
heaven. In the next flash you get a glance of
the 12 Stars which are inspired by among others the
European Flag, the Twin Tower Memorial in New York, the
Brandgrens in Rotterdam and Manifesta theme “the ideas at the
edges of a continent”.
Marktplaats February 16, 2009
Today I posted three
ads on Marktplaats and I
tried to ad them also on Ebay. But Ebay really sucks.
At the moment I sell

Fight For Love - New York November 11, 2008
Some people think that I go each year to New York for just I
Will Win but at the following video you can also see that I did
a Fight For Love performance during Halloween in New York City.
Art is for me
communication whereby I want to reach public beyond the art world (Beyond
Art) on my own power with the use of mass media in order to move
them literal and metaphorically with work that doesn't create only beauty
but also incites discovery, stimulates reflection, and generates
self-knowledge, which will eventually increase understanding,
exchange, and cooperation between governments, companies and people
worldwide. Erik Van Loon
