Mees Joachim van Amesfoort
Mees Joachim van Amesfoort (b.1994, Den Helder) is a visual artist and experimental musician from the Netherlands and the owner of vanity-label (music) ADIEUX. They graduated from Mediacollege Amsterdam (Graphic Design) in 2015 and from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (VAV - Moving Image) in 2019.
Their work as a visual artist takes place predominantly within the music-industry, working with individual musicians, bands and or festivals, and often takes the shape as digital album covers, physical release designs and corporate identities. They're well-skilled in a variety of mediums, from Graphic Design to film and photography, painting, sculpture, CGI and sound-design. As experimental musician they have published music under a variety of monikers, all of which have their own function and musical flavor. Their solo works have been published by Mahorka (BG), BBJTC (DE), C!A Records (US) and ADIEUX (NL). Their live shows are often erratic and improvisational in nature and amalgamations of several projects, whereas a show might be headlined as ‘Absolutely Stiller’ for instance. The artist has done musical, theatrical and art performances / showcases in a variety of venues, such as Paradiso, de Tolhuistuin, TivoliVredenburg, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Roxanne in the Netherlands, as well as Xiaozu in Beijing, China.
In the past they've done productions for radio as well, with their program, together with Luca Heydt (b.1994, Hamburg), 'Sounds Between Here And Nowhere' having had monthly airings on Big Toilet Radio (2023) and Radio WORM (2024) and their 'made-for-radio' sound-work 'Music For Wireless Telegraphs' (as Joachim Stiller, 2024) having been made for and aired on Radio Tempo Não Pára (a.2023/ r.2024).
