Lately I have had the opportunity to coach two young artists in their projects for the CBK Groningen. Sarah Janßen was the winner of the Hendrik de Vries Stipendium and worked on projections that took filmclichés into a new context. More recently I worked closely with Anneriek de Vries in her creation of the work…
Parking garages are not known for being particularly hospitable. Cramped and dark in most cases. The city of Groningen has some wonderful exceptions to that rule though. There is a beautiful example at the Ossenmarkt. A cylindrical affair that feels roomy and is easy to use. Artist Peter Struycken added the final touch with his…
So here’s a post that is not about cars. I was surfing the web yesterday and ran into my own website. Always a treat. But it gave me the impression I have done little else than slide cars on ice, look at cars from strange angles and driven cars on maffia turf. So I checked…

New Year Krause from Roger Muskee on Vimeo. And currently I’m working on two treatments: one for a short film that’s highly classified until february. And…
Ingeborg Walinga of the CBK Groningen asked me to come up with an idea for introductions to interviewees. The 1st of january is traditionally the day of a big new years’ party organised by the Groningen city council. This year there will be a talkshow with 10 interviewees provided by Ingeborg’s CBK. Since there was…
