In the late seventies and early eighties, Van Hees followed the heroic and at the same time tragic life of boxing champion Eversteijn (1949-1983). Using numerous images from archives and a selection of his own photographs, Carel van Hees sketches the rise and fall of the Eversteijn phenomenon.

YU[E]P is a startling research report and photo book on the expectations of a group of young women of non-Western origin, living on the South Bank of Rotterdam. These well-educated women are the vanguard of an emerging middle class.
In the publication, research journalists Els Desmet and Annemarie Sour let these Young Urban [Ethnic] Professional speak for themselves. The personal experiences of the ambitious young women offer leads for development and renewal of the urban environment, not only in Rotterdam.
At the festive book presentation, Alderman Hamit Karakus will give out the first copies after Radboud Engbersen has interviewed several stakeholders.

Polder Cup is a sports and arts event organized by Maider López, the Spanish artist who breaks traditional behavioural patterns with her interventions in the public space.
With Polder Cup, she combined the Dutch love for football, water and consensus culture. In a Dutch polder, López painted football pitches on the surrounding pastureland. Ditches cut right across the pitches, forcing the players of the sixteen teams to come up with new tactics. Once the participants had fallen into the ditches a couple of times, new rules for the game developed -with or without consultation- as a matter of course.
The publication documents the complete tournament and presents a playful model as well as a serious proposal for using disruption to break traditional patterns.
As of September 10th, the Kunsthal Rotterdam presents the exhibition Polder Cup, a documentary report of these games of 'soccer with obstacles'.

What determines our place in history? If it is the past, there we also find the material support with which we reconstitute our historical place. Our relation to history remains retrospective, but also anticipatory.
Events begin with a break from history. But they soon are recaptured by it and fetishized as historical triumphs or failures. Still something remains of past events that, although conditioned by history, is irreducible to it: a surplus that finds way to our time, something out of time that forces us to actively anticipate a renewing in past events.
