Created this mobile for British American Tobacco.

Co-operation strengthens and

creates the chance for new ideas

The BAT-countries work independent

and in co-operation with each other

The four colours, orange, yellow, blue and green,

symbolise the groups of different BAT-regions

The rotation of the coloured countries create new

shapes and colours. It is in constant renewal

This symbolises a meeting and working together

of the BAT-regions towards new innovative ideas

By using transparent acrylate and placing

the mobile in front of the window creates

the chance for the sun to shine through the mobile

This causes a shimmering of new colours

and shapes in the staircase

This is the youtube movie of his exhibition.

In September I went to Berlin with Jitske Hagens. There we stumbled around looking for galleries and coffee spots. The best place was the Heidestrasse - realy worth it! Here we found Haunch of Venison gallery where we were lucky enought to enjoy Matt Collishaws work.

When I am drawing or cutting lines, I am interested in observing the power of the changing growing shape. This dynamic shape becomes an entity in itself, "Another geography." In a sense, the empty space is myself, and the materiala represent the present world.

It's that nice is focused on publicising, promoting and archiving the very best contemporary work from across the creative industry.

Pippilotti Rist is such a cool artist. I was totally blowen away.

At the moment there is a big exhibition at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen with eight recent works and two new works made specially for the museum. A fluid world of video image, soundtracks and objects in a 1500m2 installation that will immerse you.

2009-03-27T09:04:00.000-07:00

I love the transparency of this chair.

Tom Price created these chairs by heating and pressing a seat-shaped form into a bundle of crumpled polypropylene sheets, polyester clothing and other products.

These form a seriers of chairs using the same technique but with different materials.

PIG 05049

Christien Meindertsma has spent the last three years researching all the products made from a single pig. Amongst some of the more unexpected resutlts were: Ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelian, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and even bio diesel.

Meindertsma makes the subject more approachable by reducing everything to the scale of one animal. After it's death, Pig number 05049 was shipped in parts throughout the world. some products remain close to their original form and function while others diverge dramatically. In an alsmost surgical way a pig is dissected in the pages of the book - resulting in a starteling photo book where all the products are shown at their true scale (1:1).

To describe the relationships between corresponding parts, the deeper symmetries, which are concealed by asymmetries on the surface, the theorist of evolution, Gregory Bateson, once talked about "the pattern which connects". He writes:"What pattern connects the crab to the lobster and the orchid to the primrose and all the four of them to me? And me to you? And all the six of us to the amoeba in one direction and to the backward schizophrenic in another?"

This quate is from the book Patterns in design, Art and Architecture.

Gregory Bateson, Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity (New York/Dutton:1979),p.8.

This morning I opend my mail to find that Mieke Fokkinga send me this link www.katieholten.com.

What I love about her work is the diversity in size.

She makes books, drawings but also installations.

Also if you click on statement in her site the word tomorrow is all you find.

It is then linked to a weather forecasting site.

Then you think did I miss something? and go back to her site...................

Go and have a look for yourself.

I loved it, her work has a red line running throught it very strongly but its not held together by some tekst.

2009-01-19T12:25:00.000-08:00

Jill Bliss I found through a dutch magazine called 1o1 woonideeën. She makes beautifull drawings that can be found on note books; walls and in exhibitions.

2009-01-19T12:13:00.000-08:00

www.loovvool.com is a design companey I found by flicking through some magazines. I loved this project they did. They decribe their work as:

Loovvool builds distinctive brands & aspirational design solutions.

Loovvool Interactive develops innovative & captivating experiences.

XS-M-L

Diana van Golden, Charlotte Vonkeman en Marije Cnossen are XS-M-L. Their name reflect their clothing size litterally, but also their work method. Their designs play with the shift in size of functional objects, this creates new functions for these forms.

2009-01-06T12:16:00.000-08:00

One of the reasons that it's taken me some time to place new news on my blog is because I've been busy planning my first presentation. Carla Piebes was so kind to let me use her shop window for the new pattern that I created. The pattern is based on city maps and the way that roads connect each city with the next. By zooming out the connections take on shapes that we see in other forms like veins. I chose to screenprint the pattern on material to create a link to the human body. The material becomes a layer of veins that connect different structures/organs/cities with each other.

I hope everyone had a beautiful xmas and new year.

Painted by

2008-12-17T00:12:00.000-08:00

"I treasure.

Painted by is a series of garments in progress.

Starting points were beautiful antique Bulgarian family pieces to which different generations have added new elements.

We were touched by the soul of these layered garments.

Painted by consists of unique pieces that have grown from different signatures.

Each piece has been worked on in sequence by Dutch designers and artisans of nearly forgotten techniques, that have become precious beyond time.

A story in garments. "

Jeanne Hoffman

"I connect the physical and psychological aspects of drawing with journey. For me there is a direct correlation between traveling across a landscape and the path of a graphic mark which transforms a blank page into an imaginary space: The path of a gesture of one's hand across a page can be traced in the same way we can map our journeys across the landscape of a place."

Ruby-mag is an internet magazine that features atists and illustrators.

It's inspiring to flick through and to see a spectrum of different art pass by. Here are some examples of the last issue I liked.

"Agathe de Bailliencourt is a French artist whose work features on paper and canvas, as well as directly applied to walls and architecture."

"Rapedius/Rindfleisch work with a very old genre of art history: The landscape. With installations, objects and drawings the artists create not only rural landscapes, but also urban scenarios that subvert the genre's usual expectations."

(These two pieces of text come from the artists own websites)

This makes me very happy, I can't wait to meet her. The city as an organism is the main theme in her work. She often creates an artists book that accompanies her new works.

Yesterday is was walking on the Albert Cuyp market in Amsterdam, when I spotted a new shop - The Sid Lee Collective.

The walls are painted with blackboard paint and beautiful illustations fill the walls.

The artist group - Team Macho- have their work on show and in the middle of the space a table with artists books makes you want to spent hours looking in all of them.

Lars F. Nieuwenhuizen (www.dwarsart.com) brought my attention on the work of Katja Prins. She is a contemporary jeweler who is intrigued by the ever increasing interaction between the human body and the seemingly unlimited possibilities of modern technology. I love the jeweley made with glass (2005), the human shapes and the hardness of technology. These elements seem to work together to form a new working whole.
