Correct me if I’m wrong “Correct me if I’m wrong” is a wall painting that was presented as part of a group exhibition. On a wall of the exhibition space the artist painted a red wavy line by hand. Which idea was born from the red line that wavely appears when typing a grammatical error in Word. The lenght of the line is determinded by the surface of the exhbition wall in relation to the size of a A4 papersize. As a part of the exhibition - to create another sort of space in dialogue to the work – a movable wall is built that will divide the one into two rooms. After the exhibition this movable wall will be taken down.

761.2 761.2 is a A2 poster. The poster is hanging to a wall by four copper thumb tacks, on the right side 45 folded posters are stacked up on the ground. On the poster a photograph is printed. The photo shows a bookcase located at the Willem de Kooning library. The bookcase storages all the books of the section Minimal Art and Installation Art. Where most of the time all the books are put in line with the front of the bookshelf by the librarian, the artist has shoven all the books to the back of the bookshelf one by one. Because all the books have different sizes, by doing this the books create a temporary sculpture that is waiting for the librarian to aline them once again.


i don't know if this is about us or about them

The book ‘the Nightmare of Participation’ written by Markus Miessen has served as an inspirational ground for this sculpture. A three-dimensional trilateral pyramid made of rainbow colored cardboard is placed on the points of three colorpencils. The pencils are made out of the three primary colors (red, yellow and blue). Each pencil is standing on the ground and is placed at a corner, keeping the pyramid in perfect balance of the ground.
