1) A Place at the Table, Saturday 11th of May - 15th of June @ ZUID. Boijmans Van Beuningen Rotterdam
Join me on Saturday 11 May for the presentation of 𝘈 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 at ZUID. Boijmans Van Beuningen, as their current artist-in-residence.
Inspired by medieval jugs from their collection, I've been looking for a contemporary twist of this phenomenon. Traditionally, these jugs featured the face of a (bearded) man. What can we envision today? During workshops, Cami and small groups of Rotterdammers expanded the family of jugs.
The project's presentation will include these new jugs, lunch, music, and a symposium, 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦 𝘒𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘯 (𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘑𝘶𝘨𝘴).
𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 & 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 11.00-14.00

3) Editions, 16-19 May @ FROM ME TO YOU SPACE ANTWERPEN
For Antwerp Art Weekend, From Me To You Space has invited Carl Haase with EDITIONS, a nomadic bookstore and project space for publications and performances. EDITIONS will bring together an array of independent publishers as well as self-published works from artists and designers. The presentation is accompanied by a series of events. EDITIONS focuses in this presentation on publications as original works and artifacts, and as manuals to artistic practice. In many of the selected publications, documentation plays a crucial role. Documentation in the form of publishing can help to capture the observational knowledge that comes from the creative process, so that what is acquired or gained within the artist’s or designer’s practice becomes visible, accessible and distributed to a larger audience.
I'll offer up an 'OFFER' cookie for the occasion on Saturday 5 PM, baked by the lovely Laura Geurten. Come and eat a cookie with me!
