The VAK is an Association for and by professional artists in Amstelland region. The artists meet regularly, not only to their interests, but also to mutual inspiration and the exchange of ideas. They exhibit regularly in groups. The exhibition in 'De Bajes' is held in the framework of art route Amstelveen-50 years. In 2014 it is 50 years since the Council gave the new name Amstelveen, so there's something to celebrate. The building once was a police station, with prison cells. Hence the name 'Bajes'. The building recently was purchased by Claudio Mancinelli. After the exhibition he will rebuild it to a consultancy agency, with a restaurant on the ground floor. Please join us for this exhibition.

| 16 november 2012, Review National Artdays 2012 They were 2 great days, even though I didn't win again. Two artpieces sold (Schmimmeldans 1 and 3) to a very nice couple. Te next day a gallery in the East of the country invited me. Of a fellow artist, I got a tip about an exhibition opportunity in a museum! And with another collegue I exchanged some technical ideas. All in all, 2 very enjoyable, lucrative and meaningful days. On this pictoure my lovely partner Roland, watching my stand for a moment. The 2 artpieces on the right are te sold ones. Very good like so, these National Artdays. Next year I will probably again participate in the pre-selection. In which region I stil don't know. Hopefully I am again nominated for the National Artdays again at the end of the year! |

Stil nominated! So I thought not to belong to the chosen ones, yet it is the case! There were a lot of good artworks, at the Regional Artdays in Eindhoven this year. And I rather did not get a very prominent place there ... So for me it was not curious not to be nominated this time, for the title Winner National Artdays of the year. But then the organisation lets me know after all that I can join the exhibition National Artdays 2012, to compete for the title. Although this is also due to the resignation of another nominated artist, but still. The National Artdays 2012 will take place november 10 and 11 in the Ahoyhal, Rotterdam. More news will follow. |

| 10 september 2010. Page 'collages' renewed! The page 'collages' is from now called 'collages / mixed media' It contains artworks from both of us, plus a number of 'Gesamtkunstwerken'. |
| 9 september 2010. The guestpage is repealed. The main reason is that most of the artworks on it were from Roland van Balen and his work is shown at the renewed page 'collages / mixed media' from tomorrow. One of the reports on the guestpage however is worthwile saving. In june 2008 it said: |
|
These 2 bronze statues are in front of the entrance of Het Marnix. (click at the pictures for enlargement) |
|

|
|
| Left from the entrance is 'Amelia' from Christiaan Schraven. Amelia was the eldest doughter of Filips van Marnix, lord of Sint-Aldegonde.
The statue is inspired by the different functions that are accomodated in Het Marnix, such as swimming, wellness en the burgundian of the caf�-restaurant.
The statue was completed in 2006 and was placed then on the occasion of the opening of Het Marnix. At the right side of the entrance is 'Watertrappelen' ('Treading water') from Ren� Nyssen (✝). Here it was the eldest doughter of the artist himself, who inspired him and stood model for one of the 2 children treading water. The statue was placed at the entrance of the old Marnixbath years ago. When that building was torn down, the statue was stored temporarely. Fortunately it was placed again at the renewed Marnix. |
|
| However, some time after the appearance of this article, the statue 'Watertrappelen' from Ren� Nyssen was moved away! It is now in a shed. The reason? Some people said it was offensive! Unbelievable. But maybe the final word about that is not yet said... |

| 1 may 2010: The end of HAA! The first and succesfull exhibition in De Kunstlinie Almere is the last and only one. The 4 HAA artists decided not to continue as a group. As many heads as many sentences, for artists is certainly, also for the 4 of the HAA-group. Although they will maintain contact.  |
|
Roland van Balen and Martha Marjenburgh however will continue as an artists-couple. Their activities and work will be announced and shown at my website. Lillian Hedegaard will start her own website and Joey van Balen will continue his activities in Denmark in the meantime. Soon this website will undergo a change and completely be devoted to the work of Martha Marjenburgh as well as of Roland van Balen. The guestpage will dissapear then. |
