To celebrate this happy fact, an anniversary exhibition is planned, where all artist that have shown work in the Kunstvereniging until now, are invited to participate with a small work on paper. I participate with the work ‘Survival of the fittest’, that I made for this exhibition.

Saterday 27th of June this exhibition will be opened in Drawing Centre Diepenheim by Arnoud Odding, director of Rijksmuseum Twenthe at 16.30h. Before that the Summer exhibition in Kunstvereniging Diepenheim starts. You are welcome there from 15.00h. Enjoy!

I’m participating in an exhibition, specific on small sculptures. ‘Klein Beeld #3’ is open from now until June 21st. I will show several wall-pieces and collages.

In the summer exhibition in Sculpture Garden Land en Beeld in Asperen, I am presenting my newest sculpture, ‘Vrij Gevecht’.

This exhibition is open from now until October 4th. Enjoy a nice walk along the sculptures in a beautiful garden!

‘Library of the Future’

Deventer will have a new library. 3 artists and 3 designers have been asked to give their vision on ‘the library of the future’.

My work focusses on the printed book versus ‘the cloud’. More and more information comes to us, via all kinds of screens. Everyone can upload, everyone can share. The cloud of information will grow, but I speak for the book and it’s values of it’s physical presence. The weight, the smell, notes in the margin, the memory of when you received it and where you took it to read. Communication is in development, non-stop, but the book has proved to be of importance, till now, and hopefully in the future, as a strong contra weight of the cloud. In the sculpture, the books are poured in concrete, and literally balances out the bookshelf.

Other participants are: Jean Klare, Bas Kools, and architects Ellen Schild, Fulco Treffers and Daniël Venneman.

The exhibition is open on Saterdays, from 13.00h until 16.00h, at the Stromarkt in Deventer. Location; Bibliotheek van Nieuwsgierigheid (Library of Curiosity)
