Jetske Verhoeven at Verbeke Foundation

Wooden orange crates, I've been collecting them for quite some time now for making small furniture.
Jetske Verhoeven (NL) has larger projects.

She used 730 orange crates to build this cabin together with architect Alexander Lefebvre.

quite inspiring, it's giving me new ideas for the upcoming art event in our barn and orchard

Jason van der Woude's glass house

Clearing the barn for an upcoming art event...

I've kept these doors and windows to reuse them in future projects.  I certainly will never be able to built this...

I wouldn't mind a spacious glass house like this in my backyard.

the 'nonchalance' of the location - Verbeke Foundation - adds a certain charm, quite the opposite from the usual stark, clean exhibition spaces

weeds in the greenhouses are invading the space and installations

the structure reminds me of the ones that were standing in the playground when I was a child

and it reminds me of this...

François Schuiten - La Fièvre d'Urbicande - Les Cités obscures - Editions Casterman - 1985

not quite able to explore the structure from all sides...

there is a fotoshoot going on.

Krijn Giezen - resourceful artist

Temperatures are dropping outside, first frost is predicted the coming night.  Preparing our home for the coming winter blankets are released from chests, patchworks I made from skirts, blouses and odd pieces of fabric regain their place on the seats.

When I saw the patchworks made by Krijn Giezen I gasped for air, these stunning pieces literally took my breath away.  He made them end 1950'. 

Can't keep my eyes from this one, I'd love it on my wall if only I had a wall large enough...

Didier Bourguignon (click to view information on the artist, in french) is the other artist in the exhibition.  His intriguing artwork is tricky to capture on photo as it is framed behind glass.  Tiny details of his work in the next pictures but they really don't show the beauty of his work.
