About

"Mom, I blew up the Moma (in the 1930s)."
Opening show for my online exhibition space, which will always be visitable.

I will be presenting in the Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend, at my studio in Rotterdam. Sadly I won't be able to be present myself

For CareFull utrecht I will be presenting a new chapter of Coming to terms.

Coming to terms presents a horror film moments before filming starts. Rather than focusing on the end product (a film), the work remains a constant negotiation between different cinematic aspects, taking on a new constellation every time the work is presented. Coming to terms uses affective experiences, the driving force of horror stories, such as feelings of dread or jump scares, to restructure historical narratives; prioritizing bodily experiences over narrative continuity.

During the course of the film, the protagonist, Stefan, becomes haunted by the unrealized tomb of artist Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935). In this appearance, the intitial haunting presents itself, as Stefan coins his discoveries, lecturing an unassuming audience.

The work is in a garage, past the cafe's terrace.

I will be present and performing Sunday October 9th , 16th , 23rd and 30th at 14.00 and 16.00. The performance takes approximately 25 minutes, and is english spoken.

Scaffolding Scaffolding, the graduation exhibition of the 2020-2022 MA Fine Art class of HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, is organized under the curatorial guidance of Rachael Rakes at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht. Using scaffolding as a framework, the exhibition considers ways of upholding fragments of the precarious present. Depending on its context, scaffolding can be a sign of gentrification or one of preservation; it can indicate corruption, the locus of financial and political power, or care and rebuilding. Can we scaffold the scaffold, to support the things already put in place? To support something that is at risk of falling down, or aiming to be built, restored, or allowed to be left limbo? How do we inhabit the idea of support itself?

Scaffolding Scaffolding features works by the graduates of the 2020-2022 MA Fine Art class of HKU University of the Arts Utrecht: Francisco Baquerizo Racines, Katayoon Barzegar, Stefan Cammeraat, Yuliia Elyas, Lin Chun Yao, Lo Yuen Ming, Giorgia Lo Faso, Harriet Rose Morley, and Kristel Rigaud.

Special thanks to BAK for hosting us and the guidance of the great HKU staff. Extra special thanks for Ron Bokje for guidance and assisting in production during the year.

The amazing graphic design is done by Wooseok Jang.

The last known FIAT 24/32 HP in the world, the specific model of car F.T. Marinetti drove into a ditch late 1908, an incident which gave birth to Italian Futurism and make up the starting words of the Futurist Manifesto, provides context for the 'Crash' publication I made early 2017.

This fictional history of Marinetti's car mechanic takes the form of a maintenance manual for Marinetti’s FIAT, based on both actual car maintenance techniques employed in early 20th century and the many manifestoes and experiments in graphic design produced by the Italian Futurists.

In this last installment of Futurists without Prospects, Ettore Angelini's story is once again brought back to the place it all started – a now 114 year old FIAT.

On show:

Crash, 2017

The Exercises in dischronology project, a project based on Gutenberg's ground breaking system of movable type will be shown at a typography workshop in the center of Amsterdam. While this modular system is employed as a sculptural framework in the pieces that make up Exercises in dischronology, the actual working history it inherits and is a monument to still lives at Letterpress Amsterdam, and will provide it with the necessary context.

Exercises in dischronology (1455), 2017

Exercises in dischronology (Dürer's Unterweysung der Messung), 2017
