    Two people are sitting across from each other at a table. They both have microphones in front of them. Behind them there is a bookshelf and a wall with posters, postcards and other decor.
    Ditzcourse is a series of conversations with painter, body artist, writer and perfume collector Sands Murray-Wassink. Ditzcourse as in: ditzy, as in silly, but still making discourse. Thinking out loud. Sharing information. Meaning making in relation. As informal as possible. The series is initiated by Radna Rumping who has been in conversation with Sands for some years. The gift that keeps on giving. How to edit? For each episode of Ditzcourse a guest is invited, and a keyword is suggested. Everyone brings a power object or reference to the table. This time Megan Hoetger is joining, and the keyword is Pleasure. Megan Hoetger is a performance researcher, curator, historian and hard femme. She grew up in California, and now lives in Amsterdam. Sands, Megan and Radna met at the end of 2019 to start a collaboration, commissioned by If I Can’t Dance, that became Gift Science Archive: a database which archives relations and nearly 2,500 studio objects from the art/life practice of Sands. Gift Science Archive is also, as Megan puts it, ‘a fierce feminist demand to centre the messiness of feelings and thoughts and sharing in our processes of meaning production, knowledge transmission and history-making’. They stayed in a continuous exchange. Now they meet at the home of Sands in Amsterdam, where he lives with his partner Robin and cat Duman. In this episode, recorded on May 23th 2024, Sands, Megan and Radna talk about the too personal, vulvic space, anal space, being a feminist killjoy, noticing, a bad behaviour boat, and the pleasure of interpersonal connection.

    Into the Mass (Tomonari Nishikawa, 2007, 6 min., double projection 16mm, silent, color, USA) The visual was originally captured through two Super 8 cameras, which were attached on the pedals of a bicycle, through my ride from Marin County to San Francisco. The time-lapse footage was optically printed onto 16mm film afterwards, and the double projection would show a new landscape of the photogenic city. The ride ended after joining Critical Mass, an event occurs the last Friday of every month in San Francisco.

    I buried a 100-foot (about 30 meters) 35mm negative film under fallen leaves alongside a country road, which was about 25 km away from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, for about 6 hours, from the sunset of June 24, 2014, to the sunrise of the following day. The night was beautiful with a starry sky, and numerous summer insects were singing loud. The area was once an evacuation zone, but now people live there after the removal of the contaminated soil. This film was exposed to the possible remaining of the radioactive materials. This project is made possible with funds from the Media Arts Assistance Fund, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, Electronic Media and Film, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; administered by Wave Farm.
