Intentistic

“A fictive play with four-syllable-words from a intense personification.”

This experience is transformed by the multidisciplinary Dutch artist Patrick Verhoeven (1973) into experimental, electronic, eclectic, cut-up compositions. Besides music he works in two and three- dimensional and new media. Sampling, reinterpretating and redefining existing expressions of different media; like advertisements, postcards and record sleeves as a big melting pot for the ingredients of the work. The detached works often forms one piece together.

Denktred, a stoa on a motor

An installation where the human is degenerated in a chainwheel of the think-gait: He is, or awards himself, as the center that is turning around as a timer. The size of the pentagon and the dodecaëder has the measures of the person itself.

Grinding on a blue monday

An installation for a fair composition. The fair is more an impression than a tangible fact, it brings the definitions: desire, romance, offensive and hallucination in the end, very close together.

Subbacultcha

The sky's the limit, City structure, Ritmische stadspatronen, Impassive in noise

The work is about imaginary citystructures inspired by electronic diagrams, printed circuit boards, and/or the golden ratio, ordered according to ritmic patrons.

Cyberspace

be : continued ( = progression) x re + turning ( = perpetuum mobile) = oh ... god

A concept for a never performed piece of music as a colourful surrealistic cyber story from black till the blue screen of death.

Mashcore-Breakup-Mix

Mixed self-played interprated covers filled with well-known acapella's.

Berlin travelmenu

A personal historic story of Berlin from my view of art. It's like collecting all kind of materials and information just as a city-archaeologist. (for more information check Wikipedia.org "Berlin")

Berlintracks 1

A musical travelreport in time from the Second World War, the wall, east and west, to Christiane F and the German reunification.

Berlintracks 2

A decadent musical report "first we take the decadence than we take Berlin".

Berlintracks 3

Intentistics 12-inches of Berlin *Starring Patrick Verhoeven, also with sexy artwork!

Animations

Take the U or S-Bahn to the animated interpretations of the Berlintracks 2 filled with typical Berliner buildings and neonlights. And see Joel Grey, der Fernsehturm, Nico, David Bowie, die Siegessäule, Knut, Dr Motte, das Ampelmännchen, Iggy Pop, a 3D Metropolis city and the places where Patrick lived and drank his beer. By most of it record sleeves are the startingpoint for the animations, sometimes the animated story in itself.

Propaganda Postkarten

Was Nazi architecture erecting for the death?

On this citymap you find most of the National Socialist architecture of Berlin as it exists today, presented as a postcard and named with the old function. (for more information check Wikipedia.org "Nazi architecture")

Some Berliner Geschichte

1. H-protest - It's like an anonymous pamphlet filled with words and names starting with a H. (only in Dutch)

.words that are attracted to each other

.words that have something to do with each other

.words that tell something about each other

2. Schicksaltag - 9 november (for more information check Wikipedia.org "Schicksalstag")

3. Warenhäuser, Galgenhumor, Luftschutzraum - Based on sarcastic Berliner War jokes.

Drawings

H-protest - It's like an anonymous pamphlet filled with words and names starting with a H. It's drawn in two big Fraktur fonts, a type wrong associated with Nazi Germany now! Because the Nazi's themselves outlawed the font in 1941 as being "Judenlettern". (for more information check Wikipedia.org "Fractur")

Metropolis filmposter - Filmposters inspired by the originals of 1927 for the song "One more Metropolis".

Berlijn vakantie advertenties (only in Dutch)

Those advertisements became the start of the website. They are original travel advertisements transformed into realistic trips through Berlin with all kind of specialties like the wall, Plattenbauten Ostalgie, Christiane F highlights and famous graves of Berlin.
