The Mandalorian and Grogu

This afternoon, Conny and I went to see the film The Mandalorian and Grogu. The movie was in the style of the earlier Mandalorian series. It was a fun watch, but not really memorable. We watched this in IMAX 2D. I was a little annoyed by the IMAX 'promo' at the start of the film.

Progress on Task 5

I have complete two sub tasks of Task 5 of the GNU Mes replacement project, namely the implementation for x86_64/amd64 and for arm64/AArch64. The pass1.kaem script of tcc-0.9.27 step had no support for the x86_64/amd64 and arm64/AArch64 targets. I had to fix this and also apply some of the patches for tcc-0.9.26 to get it compiled by the tcc-0.9.26 compiler. After updating the documentation and optimizing the code generation of stack_c_arm64.c a bit, I completed these sub tasks. Next I will have to work on the riscv64 target.

Two more sprouted plants

This afternoon, I cleaned the drain in the alley, because yesterday there was some flooding in the alley due to some heavy rain showers. After I was done, I discovered two more new plants in the seed tray that contained the magnolia seeds from last year. I decided to plant them in the garden, close to where I planted the other plant. These new plants even looked a bit larger than the first.

Open Studios Enschede

This afternoon, I visited all ten locations of the Open Studios Enschede weekend. I visited the following locations:

(8) Studio Complex: Where there was not much to do when I arrived. There was going to be some live band a bit later.
(9) Creatieve Broedplaatsen Enschede at De Klomp. I talked with:
- Désiré De Lacy about the countries that she went to.
- Marcel Bierling about software development.
- Gustav Eckrodt about the floor plan and that I worked in the building in 1990.
(1) B93 & ARE. I talked with the following artists and saw their studios:
- Adriano de Campos Rampazzo, visiting artist from Sao Paulo. I looked at some Notes on Experimental Jetset he had on his desk.
- Marlies van Grootel
- şirin bahar demirel and watched a bit of her new project about women working in the textile industry.
- Susan Pinkster
- Judith Schepers
I also briefly saw the exhibition Van de plank which officially only opens tomorrow.
(2) Black Brick. This used to be an exhibition space, but now they created some studios upstairs. I talked with the following people who stayed on the ground floor:
- Sietse Henselmans. One of the people involved with COWMAG.
- Didre Schutte
- Thom Floris working on his new project.
- Cas Klaver
(5) Minkmaat ateliers. I talked with or saw works by:
- Laith Al Rahmani
- Julia van Eijden
- Manon Loeflang
- Sarah Grothhuis, with some interesting looking publications
- Loeske Bult. Talked about a series of photographs she took of a man in care home. Watched video of her.
- Henning Rosenbrack
- Monique Bosman. Saw an exhibition of her works.
(7) Rozendaal Ateliers. I saw the studios of:
(3) De 6sprong. I saw the studios of and talked with:
(10) Creatieve Broedplaatsen Enschede at Tubantiastraat. This is a new location where there are many affordable studios. I was given a short tour.
(4) De Kunsthaven. I talked with:
(6) Het Robson & St Vierkwart. Because it was almost over, I walked around a bit, and only talked with Jobke Eijsink. I liked a new work she had on display with dots and also an updated version of her Postcard stand.

By the end of the afternoon, I felt that my mind could no longer absorb information. I also realized that I had not visited all the studios that were supposed to be open according to the brochure.

Exhibitions

I first went to the exhibition Herman Nijhof with photographs by Herman Nijhof, who was a Dutch garden and landscape architect, but better known in pop music circles as a photographer. I also looked around a bit at some of the studios of the artists in the building where the exhibitions was held. I met with an old friend in the city and together we went or B93 where we went to the opening of the exhibition Van de plank with photographs and works by Jojanneke Dekens, Loeske Bult, and Anja Wisseborn. Afterwards we also visited the studios of Judith Schepers (from whom I bought a postcard sized reproduction of her charcoal drawing Labyrinth from 2024) and Susan Pinkster.

Weeds and plants

I enjoy the various weeds and plants in our garden in the back of the house. Below a picture of a part of our garden. In the left bottom corner the shadow and on leaf of our magnolia can be seen. Against the fence there are various fruit plants. The tallest is a rubus. There are also two grapes. There are also six mustard greens and three little magnolia plants among all the weeds. In the back there are three Jerusalem artichoke, still rather small.
