working on the site, on a symposium in Poland, and an 'old' design, made for Rosenthal in 1980...

This week working on my CV... Now I am busy scanning all (well, maybe not ALL) the articles and books that are mentioned under "literature" and linking the entries to those scans. It is a lot of work, but worthwhile as I now will have everything digitized and 'under one roof'...
Check out the work so far, if you are interested... click here to go to "literature"

 

update 02 Feb. 2012 and info on exhibition-------------------------------------------

September 2011 was a whole month working in Poland. Waldbzrych, to be more precise. The symposium "Porcelain Another Way" was yet again an exciting event. Good colleagues, terrific workspaces and limitless porcelain to play with, were amongst the things that made me want to come to that event. Needless to say I was happy to have been invited.

I went there 'completely blank', hoping to be inspired by the factory's output and NOT to make pre-imagined works. This proved hard, as this particular factory produced not a thing inspiring - in my eyes... Nothing that made me eager to work with.

The piggie banks, however, were fun. I used them to 'ride-up' against a gold-lustered pile, telling the story about how banks and governments are screwing up the financial system.
Coins put in these porcelain piggie banks are lost forever: you cannot get it out without losing even more money... There goes your investment, never to be seen again, or to be retrieved at great cost of destroying the art piece itself.

The exhibition in my gallery is extended
"Fucking Up the Financial System" and other works.
The gallery is always open after an appointment...

below a few examples of the Series: "Vladimir Iljitch", using a number of communist leader-busts, putting them upside-down so they can be used as vases
