Equinox - same but different
Performance
-
26-03-2023 t/m 26-03-2023
- In samenwerking met: Lodge 222
- Locatie: Hof, Dordrecht
- The Equinox is an international day of public action for freedom for all people. On the Equinox, which takes place twice each year (around 20 March and 22 September), the day and night last approximately the same length around the world. In this spirit of this cosmic equality, a global connection emerges between people performing together in public space.

- Locatie: 1Shantiroad, Bangalore
- For the final destination of my 7 weeks of India art trip, I created a series of four performances responding to the performances created in different parts of India. Each of them focused on a particular material and technique. Part one was about the Value Products, part two about jute sack and jute as a material, the third part was about tying techniques using branches, the fourth was about newspaper bags.
Celebrating Thonga
Performance
-
30-12-2022 t/m 30-12-2022
- Locatie: Chander Haat Residency, Kolkata
- This performance was created during my stay in the outskirts of Kolkata. I noticed the use of newspapers being sold to garbage collectors, and resold to little shops with recycle materials. Some old newspapers are readapted to little bags for shops to put their products in. Around the recycled paper of newspapers, and the economics around used materials in India, I find intriguing. I created two performances using old newspapers that I bought from the little shop with recyclables.
Indian Bicycle
Performance
-
18-12-2022 t/m 18-12-2022
- In samenwerking met: Jawaji University
- Locatie: Jaipur Art Summit, Gwalior
- During the first weeks of my experiences in the North of India I felt connected to this typical Indian worker class bicycle. The traffic in the cities and the streets are busy and used by all sorts of vehicles. Particular bicycles and the transportation of large numbers of objects made me think of movable art sculptures. I borrowed this bicycle from a member of the university's staff. The materials that I constructed on it were found on the campus and the neighborhoods around.
Unsacking

11-12-2022 t/m 11-12-2022
- In samenwerking met: in_process, Live Art Practice
- Locatie: Sabji Mandi Market, Sector 26, Chandigarh
- I've worked a lot with discarded materials (mostly plastics) from streets around the world, but when I traveled to India, I wanted a change of focus, and looked at materials that can be fully decomposed by nature. At the Sabje Mandi (fruit and vegetable) market I re-encountered the jute sack. There I untangled one old jute sack with my bare hands, until it was fully transformed into a heap of rope.

The New Currency (Free Treatment)
Performance
-
03-09-2022 t/m 03-09-2022
- Locatie: BUTFF, Breda
- BUT Film Festival I know since 2008, and it stands for B movies, Underground, and Trash. I was invited to perform in their program, and created a stage piece playing with the commercial jargons in advertisements. Many public speakers speak like they have been trained to sound all the same. I wanted to be the opposite, like the "shit" that I brought with me in my trash bags. The "shit" I had carefully selected from the litter that is everywhere along the roads and streets in my neighborhood.
Handing out Hearts

-
16-07-2022 t/m 16-07-2022
- In samenwerking met: Marcha van den Hurk, Pauluskerk, & Simon (Pauluskerk resident)
- Locatie: Garage Rotterdam, Rotterdam
- During my internship at the Pauluskerk, I joined Marcha van den Hurk's atelier, and with several regular Pauluskerk visitors. With her group of artists Marcha exhibited their Dialogue Drawings in Garage Rotterdam. On an afternoon I was asked to do a performance. I had created one together with "Simon" who lives in the Pauluskerk without documents. He suggested to do something positive and to hand out hearts to others.

Value Products in de Vitrine
Tentoonstelling / presentatie
-
24-09-2020 t/m 31-10-2020
- In samenwerking met: Cultuurwerkplaats Tarwewijk
- Locatie: De Vitrine, Mijnsherenplein, Rotterdam
- De Vitrine is a showcase glass box, located in the neighborhood Tarwewijk. I've started with the Value Products Project in 2015. The Vitrine was to me the perfect place for the products to be exhibited, because the products, the items in the bags are from the street themselves, and in the this glass box they are just as much present as when they were in their previous life on the street.

What Remains
Tentoonstelling / presentatie
-
07-02-2020 t/m 28-02-2020
- In samenwerking met: Joseph Ravens, Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery
- Locatie: ARC Gallery, Chicago
- The starting point for this project was my response to Joseph Raven's collection of performance art relics, leftover materials and objects from over a hundred performances by different artists. A call was send out for proposals for new performances using or based on one of the relics. An exhibition was built with the relics and there were weekly events with performances and presentations. I was the instigator of What Remains, and responsible for the artistic content.
