MARINUS BOEZEM

Biography

Marinus Boezem (1934, the Netherlands) is among the most significant representatives of Conceptual Art and Arte Povera in The Netherlands, together with Jan Dibbets and Ger van Elk. In the 1960s, Boezem started to use elusive elements such as air, weather, wind and light as visual materials and made a name with radical, immaterial works that were far ahead of their time. He was one of the initiators of the ground-breaking exhibition “Op Losse Schroeven: Situaties en Cryptostructuren” (1969) at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and took part in the equally influential exhibition “When Attitudes Become Form” at the Kunsthalle Bern in the same year.

In 1969 he created one of his most famous works of art, Signing the Sky Above The Port of Amsterdam With an Aeroplane (1969): as stated in the title, an aircraft’s condensation trails were used to spell out Boezem’s surname in the sky, the ephemeral wording disappearing almost as soon as it was created. Boezem created numerous works in public space and land art such as the Gothic Growth Project (Green Cathedral) (from 1978/1987): 174 Italian poplar trees (Populus Nigra Italica) are planted to reproduce the floor plan and measurements of the Cathedral at Reims, in a flat polder near Almere, the Netherlands.

In an oeuvre spanning more than sixty years, Marinus Boezem has created a body of work that stands quite independently in contemporary art. His works are part of many important museum collections, including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; Museum Kröller-Müller, Otterloo; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar.

  • Um Casino Spiele kostenlos spielen zu können, müssen Sie oft auch nicht anmelden. Möchten Sie
    im Casino Slots online spielen, können Sie verschiedene Bonus Angebote nutzen.
    Wenn Sie gerne Spielautomaten online spielen, wird unsere Auswahl an Spielen Sie nicht enttäuschen. Auf unserer Webseite können Sie kostenlose Video-Spielautomaten online spielen, die sowohl von den größten Namen der Branche als auch von neuen, vielversprechenden Herstellern entwickelt wurden. Auf Free-Slots.Games finden Sie über 1.000 kostenlose Spielautomaten und andere beliebte
    Casinospiele von den größten Softwareherstellern der Welt.
    Neben Vegas-Slots bieten wir auch eine Vielzahl von Tischspielen an, darunter Blackjack, Roulette und
    Baccarat.
    Wie niedrig der Einsatz pro Runde eingestellt
    werden kann, ist unter anderem abhängig davon, mit wie vielen Gewinnlinien gespielt wird.
    Die niedrigsten Werte haben in der Regel Jackpot Slots wie zum Beispiel der Mega Moolah
    (88,12% RTP). Wer Online Spielautomaten spielt, der kommt an dieser
    Auswahl nicht vorbei. Diese haben vor ein paar Jahren auch
    den Weg ins Internet gefunden und konnten so rund um die Uhr um echtes Geld gespielt oder kostenlos ausprobiert werden. Alle Slots Casino Anbieter gewähren euch einen Willkommenbonus.

    Läuft der Online Slot heiß, gibt es zwar wenig Freispiele,
    dafür aber satte Gewinne. Auch wenn der Slot um Echtgeld sehr volatil ist, bietet er dir den Vorteil, dass Du auch
    Freispiele kaufen und top Gewinne erzielen kannst. Ich finde den Online
    Slot aus vielerlei Gründen sehr interessant und spiele ihn gerne.
    Lars schreibt seit über fünf Jahren über Online Casinos und Glücksspiele.
    Da beim Online Glücksspiel immer der Spaß im Mittelpunkt steht, bieten Online Casinos Ihnen gewisse Maßnahmen zum
    Spielerschutz an. Zwar gibt es tausende Spielautomaten online, jedoch ähneln sich
    die Spiele in der Art und Weise des Spielens so sehr, dass Sie sich schnell zurechtfinden werden.

  • LUGAS ist das zentrale System der GGL, das
    monatliche Einzahlungslimits von 1000 € pro Spieler anbieterübergreifend in allen deutschen Casinos überwacht.
    Wichtig dabei ist, dass Sie sich der Risiken bewusst sind und nur bei lizenzierten und vertrauenswürdigen Casinos aktiv werden, wenn Sie mit hohen Einsätzen spielen. Wenn deutsche Spieler ohne Einsatzlimit im Casino Plinko spielen oder andere Games
    zocken, dann müssen Sie evtl.
    Es ist wichtig, dass Sie sich der Risiken ausländischer Casinos bewusst sind
    und immer verantwortungsvoll spielen. Bei ausreichender Bonität
    können Sie Ihr monatliches Einzahlungslimit über LUGAS erhöhen und im
    geschützten Rahmen mit höheren Beträgen spielen. Allerdings werden diese Anbieter nicht nach denselben deutschen Standards überwacht.
    Nach erfolgreicher Bonitätsprüfung können Sie
    anschließend mit höheren Beträgen spielen.
    Gemäß den aktuellen Gesetzen müssen Glücksspielanbieter strenge Vorgaben einhalten, um den Schutz von Spielern zu gewährleisten und
    problematisches Spielverhalten einzudämmen. In Deutschland
    werden alle Glücksspiele gemäß dem Glücksspielstaatsvertrag von 2021 (GlüStV)
    geregelt. Um solche lockeren Spielbedingungen anbieten zu können, operieren diese Casinos mit ausländischen Lizenzen.

  • At Casino.com.au, we take a comprehensive approach to reviewing and rating
    online casinos for Aussie players. We have been reviewing online
    casinos and gambling sites for over 15 years so we know how to spot the good ones, but also how to spot the bad ones.
    Quickly compare Australia’s top online casinos, find winning strategy guides and reviews from Australian players.
    Promotions are another strong suit of AU online casinos –
    you get to pick between deposit matches, free spins, VIP
    rewards, cashback offers, birthday promotions, and
    more. These three – and many more – are new types of games that you can find at
    all the best online casinos in Australia. It wasn’t until now
    that I had to test it extensively and compare it with other Australian online casinos for real money to give it a proper ranking.

    Since its establishment in 2020, Las Atlantis has
    gained widespread appeal across Australia, particularly resonating with gaming enthusiasts in New South Wales and Victoria.
    For assistance, the platform excels with its readily available
    customer service, accessible through both live chat and phone support.
    Its commitment to player satisfaction is evident in its round-the-clock customer
    support, a breeze of a mobile experience, and a commitment to transparency and security.

    While some may yarn about which casino tops the
    charts in Australia, Ricky Casino certainly throws its
    hat in the ring with confidence. Ricky Casino has built a
    formidable reputation Down Under for its extensive game library, sourced from over 40 top-tier
    software houses. From the nostalgia of 3-reel classics to
    the cutting-edge video pokies with all their bells and whistles, punters are spoilt for choice.

  • The government demanded assurances that its advertising would “be delivered safely and appropriately”.
    In May 2013, YouTube introduced a trial scheme of 53 subscription channels with prices ranging from $0.99 to $6.99 a month.
    In June 2008, a Forbes magazine article projected the 2008 revenue at $200 million, noting progress in advertising sales.

    In September 2020, YouTube announced that it would be launching a beta
    version of a new platform of 15-second videos, similar to TikTok, called YouTube Shorts.
    On November 1, 2022, YouTube launched Primetime Channels, a channel store platform offering third-party subscription streaming add-ons sold
    a la carte through the YouTube website and app, competing with similar subscription add-on stores operated by Apple, Prime Video and Roku.
    As part of YouTube Music, Universal and YouTube signed
    an agreement in 2017, which was followed by separate agreements other major labels,
    which gave the company the right to advertising revenue when its music was played on YouTube.

    At the time of uploading a video, YouTube users are shown a message asking them
    not to violate copyright laws. In 2022, YouTube launched an experiment where the company would
    show users who watched longer videos on TVs a long chain of short
    unskippable adverts, intending to consolidate all ads into the beginning of a
    video.
    YouTube has an estimated 14.8 billion videos with about 4%
    of those never having a view. The company stated the decision was in response to
    experiments which confirmed that smaller YouTube creators were
    more likely to be targeted in dislike brigading and harassment.
    On April 9, 2025, YouTube expressed support for the NO FAKES Act of
    2025, introduced by Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and
    announced an expansion of its pilot program that is designed to identify content generated
    by AI. On July 30, 2025, amid the implementation of the
    Online Safety Act 2023 in the United Kingdom, Google announced that it would begin to enforce “age assurance” policies for selected users in the United States as a
    trial. In April 2024, YouTube announced it would be “strengthening our enforcement on third-party apps that violate YouTube’s Terms of Service, specifically ad-blocking apps”.

    Users of ad blockers may be given a pop-up warning saying “Video player will be blocked after 3 videos”.
