Review in Dutch newspaper Trouw. Featuring my work:
…Om te begrijpen waarom het kunstwerk in Deventer past bij deze omschrijving, moet de constructie van dichterbij worden bekeken.

Article in De Stentor

Watou Kunstenfestival
On Saturday 1 July 2023, the arts festival Watou opens its doors. For this edition, some 30 artists and 20 poets ‘composed’ new in situ work that you can discover until 3 September in unusual places in and around the village and castle De Lovie. The intertwining of the village, the landscape, the poets and the artists is what makes this festival so unique.
You can find my work a few meters from the French – Belgian border.
IJsselbiënnale
For this years IJsselbiënale, I am commissioned to make a new art work. The location for the work is an old ‘overslaggebouw’ in Deventer. It’s in the ‘Havenkwartier’ only 100 meters from the IJsselbiënnale headquarters, next to Kunstenlab.
The IJssel Biennale is a biennial international outdoor exhibition with stimulating artworks along the river IJssel and an extensive cultural programme the ‘Nevengeul’.
The outdoor exhibition of the consists of 27 temporary, monumental and challenging works of art by national and international artists. The cycle route of 100 kilometres leads you in beautiful and varied stages along all artworks in special places along the river IJssel: a voyage of discovery through the landscape of the most beautiful river of our country.
This years IJsselbiënnale will take place from June 17th till September 17th.
