If I can't dance...performance days

Performance Days was a seven-day festival in Amsterdam presenting new artist commissions. With my new companions Martina Bovini and Mari Pitkanen we've made around 50 clients per day go completely vegan. Served lunch and dinner and delighted every one with the nordic replacement of sushi: the smushi !

'A glass of inspiration'

Events from Winespire are conceived for 'young minded professionals' that like to network with a good glass of wine. To accompany the biological wine menu from Wijn & Ik, small quiches, a bag of oven veggies and flower buter on raw bread are the best, also for vegans !

Thanks to the Tuinfabriek to be our host and offer a green space in the middle of concrete jungle.

WEG / AWAY a travelogue for these who stay at home

in collaboration with Janneke Panneke

and Insectable

Very pleased to collaborate again with the theater company 'het Nut' .

This time the story told by Nottrot Greg and Daniel van Klaveren, is a travelogue for those who stay at home. The Wall, the longest building in the Netherlands is used here as decor; here is where also after the play one can enjoy a three courses dinner and finally rest on camp beds for an after dinner dip.

Who is the traveler, where did the refugees come from, why we desire the exotic and finally are we afraid of the foreigner?

" AWAY is about our fear and the desire for the unknown. We carry the audience in an exciting quest around the world. When we come back home, everything changed permanently. "

10 YEARS DOGTIME, Gerrit Rietveld Academie

                                               in collaboration with Robert Adolfsson

Approaching this comission anthropologically I would like to melt my previous work for the DOGTIME SiSiSpex, which comments on our contemporary way of food consumption throw not willing to consider a catastrophic future and 'autistically' eating aesthetics, with a work which engage the viewer to ingest the existing possibilities.

The path I want to undertake is to unify the actual planet situation modified by humans with the

insurgent movements of reclaiming our landscapes. By using products that are not to sell in supermarkets I aim to create a harmonic recipe: spring harvest of snails with greens .

Dutch design week and the food chain project

I helped my friend Itamar Gilboa during the Dutch Design Week to introduce his project Food Chain. This time we were cooking with chalk and giving form to several sculptures. There is still a long way to go for the realization of the remaining hundreds, all the support would be appreciated : www.foodchainproject.org

The Food Chain Project is a pop-up supermarket made entirely of sculptural groceries that represent Itamar Gilboa's consumption over 365 days. 

Each individual part of the installation — ranging from a lemon to a carton of milk and from a can of tuna to a duck — can be bought separately at the exhibition. Seventy percent of the profits will be donated to NGOs fighting food issues, thereby creating a food chain: "What I ate turned into art, which, when sold, can again become food," explains Gilboa. 

The Israeli-Dutch artist kept a diary of everything he ate and drank for the duration of a year. He meticulously kept track of his daily consumption. Some three years later, the results can be seen in a sculpture installation, the Food Chain Project. His installation, a traveling pop-up supermarket consisting of more than 8,000 white plaster sculptural groceries, physically represents Gilboa's yearly consumption. 

Thinking about his personal consumption habits, Gilboa started to research the social implications of individual consumption choices on global food issues. By presenting the 8,000 products he consumed in a year, Gilboa aims to raise awareness and generate a wider discussion on global food issues. The installation is thought provoking and uses an inventive approach to point out our overconsumption, while hundreds of millions of people around the world still suffer from hunger every day.
