ADM

Last Saturday we were in ADM 21e. anniversary Festival.

Probably the last one...

We came later in the afternoon, it was very nice atmosphere, incredible peaces of sculptures, creative works around, from unknown talented artists that should be known, like Lukas from Swiss with his kinetisch art moved by heat and steam, lots of music bands, and theaters play, children's agenda.

All ages people, caricature creatures, alternative, older squatters and curious visitors.

We have lived there already long ago, some few intensive inspiring years... there... in the no one land, wild west like, in the lift machine home, is born our lovely daughter, and after so many years, even not knowing well our early ADMers neighbors, many stubborns, creative, lonely been different, diverse, sometimes opinionated about conventions, they still are the same trusted family... it was heart warming to see some of them, in their typical spontaneous ways of doing creative things with pleasure and a laugh.

My heart pains with their last beat ADM.

Such a place must live!

The Netherlands was once the leader of new ideas, new mentality, creativity, open minded ahead...

Last time my impression is that more and more influenced by the "rules" of bureaucracy, everything gets tidy, boring old fashioned... even though I love the variety of people around in Amsterdam... which directions are we going when ADM is closed?

The only open door left cannot close!
