The work is not a literal reconstruction, rather an imaginary scene based on the reality of the brothel rooms with a touch of Surrealism, as the New York Times noted. The details in this consummate highlight of assemblage art are quite fascinating. Not only does The Hoerengracht pose questions about the borderline between whats in and whats out, it brings the actual borderline into question. This confrontation with sex workers, inducing passers-by to gaze through the window, forces people to think and reflect. Who are these women? What do I think about Amsterdams window prostitutes?
…
At the same time, the presentation also features a selection of works about prostitution. A key concept in the show is Role Exchange, the title of a legendary work by Marina Abramovic, who documented on video and in photos how she swapped roles with a prostitute for a number of hours in 1975. Marieken Verheyens installation Red Light also invites the viewer to swap places with a prostitute for a moment. This installation was one of the most astonishing exhibits in Amsterdam Historical Museums cultural-historical show Love for Sale: Four Centuries of Prostitution in Amsterdam (2002).

The executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, Leah Shahum, will spend eight months living and cycling in Amsterdam this year, on an unpaid sabbatical.
Shahum, who started working for the organization in 1997, became its executive director in 2003. At that time it had 4,200 members, while today that number has risen to 11,000. Members pay about $35 a year, and those fees plus other donations make up some 60 percent of the bike coalition’s $1 million annual budget.
…
While Shahum is on this sabbatical in Amsterdam, which starts in May, Renee Rivera, a former chair of the organization’s board of directors, will fill in as acting executive director.
When Shahum returns to San Francisco, she hopes to bring “plenty of fresh ideas and renewed inspiration” from Amsterdam, where, she said, “half of all trips are made by bicycles and where biking is as commonplace as walking.”

Leah Shahum, longtime director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, will be taking an eight-month leave of absence to live with her partner, Ted Strawser, in Amsterdam, which is widely considered one of the world’s most bike-friendly cities.
“As committed to bicycle advocacy as I am, the idea of living in Amsterdam is like a dream come true, so there’s no way I couldn’t do it,” Shahum said of the opportunity created when Strawser, an accountant for Dolby Laboratories, was transferred to Amsterdam for a year.
Under Shahum, the Bike Coalition has grown to become San Francisco’s largest grassroots advocacy organization, boasting more than 11,000 members. Shahum leaves in May and will be temporarily replaced by Renee Rivera, who served for several years on the SFBC board.
Shahum said the current strength of SFBC should allow for a fairly seamless transition: “We have such a strong organization that they can afford to have me gone.”

Bike Coalition Chief Pedals off to Sabbatical in Amsterdam
Tue., Feb. 16 2010 @ 1:35PM
San Francisco Bicycle Coalition executive director Leah Shahum, a key figure in the push to spur city workers to paint the new bike lane network you’re now seeing around town, just announced she’s taking an eight-month sabbatical in Amsterdam.
During that time she’ll be replaced by former Coalition board chair Renee Rivera.
In addition to prostitution and drugs, Amsterdam is known for the large number of city trips taken by bicycle. Shahum did not immediately return a call requesting comment. But we’re assuming the point is not to observe hooking or toking, but rather learn about how the city managed to become bicycle commuting capital of the world.
We found it curious that the extraordinarily competent-seeming Andy Thornley, the  Coalition’s development director, will not be taking the helm while Shahum is gone. We’ll update you on this story as it develops.

IN Amsterdam, the prostitutes are blogging about their clients. Did you pay by credit card and use your real name. Billie Piper could star in a soap opera yet.
…
Lola “Magic Lips”, a popular prostitute in the area, says: “Blog job comes first! We heard about the plans for a local tax increase by 24.7% and we are now exploring new ways to hook clients in our window”. The significant tax increase is forcing many prostitutes to find a new way of income by entering the digital world.
…
The prostitutes contacted a local specialist in the domain of blogging to inquire about the possibilities to reroute their means of income from the streets to the digital highway. Mr. W. Bee, CEO of www.wannabemillionaire.com , says: “These ladies have bodies for pleasure and a mind for business. They have a very clear vision of how their online presence should be, but they lack technical skills. They came to me for consultancy and we have good hopes for a profitable future. I am glad to be their first”.

Last updated: 3 february, 2010 – 16:39 GMT Amsterdam to clean up its ‘window brothels’
The authorities in Amsterdam says many prostitutes are forced to work in the red light district by criminal gangs
Amsterdam has long been infamous for its ‘window brothels’, streets lined with windows of women selling themselves for sex.
But now there are changes afoot.
The local government is closing almost half of all its window brothels in a move to clean up its image.
This is happening despite the views of many prostitutes who feel their lives will be endangered without the windows.

Five years ago I became Public Enemy Number One when I said I’d pay for Shane Junior, a couple of mates and an adult to go to Amsterdam for a weekend if he did well in his GCSEs.
…
Of course I knew he wanted to see the redlight district. I wasn’t shocked. We have a very open relationship, so it wasn’t as if I didn’t know he was having sex. He was just acting his age and wanted to see the prostitutes in Amsterdam.
…
I think what the Amsterdam episode shows is that I do have a healthy, open relationship with my sons when it comes to discussing sex. Because sex was a taboo subject in my own family when I was growing up, I wanted my kids to feel comfortable talking to me about it. I wanted them to be prepared and to be safe. I started the sex talk quite early, not because I was condoning …

Since the 17th Century, the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer, the good burghers of Amsterdam had to decide how to deal with the world’s oldest profession. Prohibit it or regulate and condone it? When a foreigner visits Amsterdam for the first time, the sight of prostitutes sitting in windows seems shocking. A few days there and you become used to it. It even seems civilized.
We all know it’s illegal for a politician to actually sell a vote, but the Dutch have a word for activities that are illegal, but unofficially tolerated..GEDOGEN. Amsterdam officials don’t use the word “brothel,” they’re known as “alternative businesses.” Isn’t that what our politics has become? An alternative business? There could be sections for older politicians as there are for older prostitutes in Amsterdam. Those running for office could even offer a discount, say for the holidays or a candy cane for the kids.
