CURRENT MISSION

Setting up studio Rabota (my own art, books and junk space)

ABOUT ME

My name is Vincent, I'm 25, and I'm in my 3rd year of studies. At the moment I'm trying to set up my own studio in Amsterdam, doing collage works and installations. Since that won't make much money I also do web development and usability / interaction design (even though I don't really use the internet). For the rest: eating french fries, going to nude beaches, browsing book markets, and playing football (or soccer if you're American), eating at vocu's (peoples kitchens), riding on one of my six bikes.

Most of my time is spend in my studio in Amsterdam-North which at the moment is being rediscovered from industrial area to creative breathing ground. I guess this will this will allow you a view of Amsterdam most tourist will miss. It's seven minutes and a ferry away from the city center. I live in another city, unfortunately I'm unable to host myself.

Send me a coffee request or if you need a place to stay then I might have friends who can host you.
