    • 20-06-2017 t/m 22-10-2017
    • Location: Chabot Museum Rotterdam, Rotterdam
    • For my meeting with Henk Chabot we chose from my archive the works “hidden” by me, which usually never saw the outside world. What is the understanding or emotional connection with the works of your hand? The report of the identification with the subject at hand was the starting point of the exhibition.
