Surprise dinner


Bas, our production co-ordinator, moonlights as a cook and he showed off his skills at a small dinner party tonight. At the table were Halil, Azra, Nienke (project co-ordinator), Ton (architect and my husband), Bas, Kick (Bas’ son) and me.

Food was great and that always helps getting the conversation going. Contemporary art in Turkey, the political situation (Halil has a Kurdish background), Sinan (Ton is a big fan), and Turkmenistan (Nienke had just seen Shadow of the Holy Book at the IDFA) were just a few of the topics.

Half way through the evening, Halil surprised us all by presenting his proposal for Open Source Amsterdam – sorry, can't reveal anything yet; you’ll have to wait until April 2008. All I can say is that I am delighted!
