>>> Not Quite Nearly Fine, Fondazione Baruchello, Rome

“Not Quite Nearly Fine” is a definition borrowed from antiquarian terminology for the sophistication and state of preservation of ancient books on the market. Here, as an exhibition, it tells the stories of possible translations, language and filters, identity, loss and failure, human relationships and the environments they are set in. Through a series of narrative devices “Not Quite Nearly Fine” stages conversations which may or may not have happened - either metaphorical or literal - which originate from communication systems with no vocabulary. About what it was and how we remember it, what remains and how we have adapted it, what can still happen and how we imagine it.

>>> Moira, Utrecht

Confronting visitors with the actions of Moira, the white-robed incarnations of destiny: the two sisters Clotho, spinner of the thread of life, and Atropos, who chooses the manner of death and ends the life of mortals by cutting their threads, waiting in front of a non-existent lift - the entrance door to the exhibition space.

In the other half of the room, next to an overturned chair and a pair of shoes, a lamp is enlightening a book that describes the story of the three sisters. The installation is completed with a video of the third sister Lachesis, falling along the window frontage.

>>> Huis voor de Kunsten, Roermond

Commission to comment on an artwork via photoshop, questioning if and if yes, how sustainable art in public space is.

I picked the bronze statue of Saint Anthony of Padua by Charles Eyck from 1951, who is turning his back to the church to pray to the fish, on the Boschstraat, Maastricht. It is on top of a fountain designed by Jean Huysmans and stands in front of the Sint-Matthiaskerk. The statue used to be 170 cm high on a 120 cm plinth surrounded by nine bronze, water spouting fish. After repeated theft, these have been replaced by a bronze band with 30 holes. The fountain basin has a diameter of 320 cm and gets hit and broken regularly by reversing transporters during the weekly market.

A6 paper with a price tag of 100€, signed by me, inside a picture frame tagged with a 50% reduction sticker, in a series of 10 different versions of 8 pieces each.

Most of the pieces of the 50% series have spread across Europe over the years and entered art collections. This led me to increase the value of the pieces by creating a 40% series and even later a 20% series, for a market value of 60€ and 80€ respectively.

A6 paper with a price tag of 100€, signed by me, inside a picture frame tagged with a reduction sticker.

Most of the pieces of the 50% series have spread across Europe over the years. One work got included in the collection of the IKOB Museum of Contemporary Art, BE, where it was part of the exhibition 4/10 - A critical survey of the IKOB collection.

This led me to increase the value of the pieces by creating a 40% series, of which one is now part of the Collectie Nederland, Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE), NL.

After the renewed increase in value, two pieces, one of the 50% series and one of a newly created 20% series, were up for auction at the NAK Neuer Aachener Kunstverein, DE, with a starting price of 50€ and 80€ respectively.

>>> A journey through the encounters with my android.

In early 2017 I started taking screenshots. And by the summer of 2019 I took screenshots of screenshots. At the moment you are reading this I hold more than 27.920 screenshots in my hands, all of them taken on the same phone. Working together with my Android gives me an opportunity to get hold of time. While everything happens at once, I capture a unique moment in space and time using screenshots, which is reflected in its underlying algorithms.
