to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

Camiel Van Breedam - pure and simple

Looking for inspiration for future work with wood I rediscover the works of one of my favourite artists.







delicate sculptures made from reclaimed pine wood slaths used to plaster ceilings and walls in old houses
breathtaking, my heart skips a beat every time a look at them









pictures taken in 2009 at the Middelheimmuseum, Antwerp

One Minute Sculptures

A platform in the park where visitors are invited to...


... perform the instructions placed on the corners.
Be a dog.



Hold your breath and think of Spinoza...
which my husband - all for the sake of art - kindly demonstrates...






I hardly could ask him to do this one...

Erwin Wurm's upcycling

Performative sculptures
Erwin Wurm removes the initial function of old furniture by tilting it; wardrobe becomes table or chair... and thus takes away its original function.  The object gets a new function and becomes furniture once again.






During the exhibition - every day at 16.00 - a person performs the renewed function. 









This remarquable object reminded me of a sculpture I saw a few years ago ...



Erwin Wurm - Tate Modern at Kunsthaus Zürich, Switserland.


A group performance with clothes and furniture will take place on Saturday 6 August at 20.00 and on Sunday 25 September at 16.00.
