Special cuttings in Tytsjerksteradiel

A cutting is a place to rest while walking or cycling, but also a place for encounters between people and between people and landscape. In the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel 2 cuttings have been realized: 'Full bench traveler' near Eastermar and 'Soft concrete benches' in the Overtuin at Vijversburg in Tytsjerk. The meeting spots tell the story of the location in a playful, surprising and sometimes moving way and show how art can enrich public space. More information can be found in the brochure (pdf).

Wâldsjonger

The in Burgum living sjonger and songwriter Marcel Smit (1977) is for the next two years 'Wâldsjonger' of Achtkarspelen and Tytsjerksteradiel. Marcel was already at a young age dwaande mei muzyk en brocht yn 2011 syn earste folslein (Wâld)Frysktalige album út. Yntusken steane der trije albums op syn namme en hat er als lietskriuwer in ferskaat oan ferskes skreaun foar oare artysten. Marcel stiet neist syn solo performances ek wol mei oaren op it poadium. Foar it teaterprogramma Frisicana bygelyks, dêrmei tour er nu troch de provinsje mei Gurbe Douwstra en Piter Wilkens. Yntusken binne de lietsjes fan dizze Wâldpyk-ambassadeur ek net mear wei wei te tinken út de jierlikse Fryske Top 100. Marcel fynt it in hiele eare to be Wâldsjonger wêzen en wol as echte Wâldpyk de kommende twa jier de Wâlden mei syn ferskes noch mear promoatsje.
