The Bulb A ceramic blow up of the original light bulb, about 1,25m high on a 2m stainless steel base, lighted from the top of the base with Philips’ latest lumiblade lighting technology. An icon of the past becomes a sign of the future. The lines in the bulb refer to the leather patches of the football.

The Bulb Connect ing spaces
Inside the building, in the colourful open spaces, the Bulb will have a golden or silver glow, corresponding to the texture of the bricks used for the front of the offi ces. The bulbs outside the building will be glazed with colours corresponding to the colours used for the open spaces. In this way interconnections between inside and outside arise.

p r o c é d éAfter having discussed shapes and patterns, we agreed on a serving plate with a diameter of 23 cm and a bread plate with a diameter of 15 cm.
How to produce porcelain plates that are more or less round and shrink evenly to the desired diameter?
I tried different methods to solve the many problems which occurred.
Eventually I made massive porcelain supporting pieces on the wheel and let them dry.
After rolling white and coloured porcelain with the rolling pin, I made them even with the slab press.
I cut round shapes (27 and 19 cm diameter) out of the slabs and put them on the supporting pieces to dry with cloth in between.
After biscuit fi ring the plates on the supporting shapes, I polished the plates and fi red them at 1240˚C, again on the supporting pieces with silver sand between the plate and the supporting piece.

hI deas Sketches
Les extrêmes se touchent is what I have in mind for the Touch Me exhibition. This can be different materials, like concrete, glass (concrete), felt, textile, wood, steel, rubber, magnetic concrete. This can be a sensation, like warm and cold, soft and hard, strong and weak. This can be a shape, like moving versus still, fi gurative and abstract. This can be a message, like a political one.
Touch Me Exhibition | Developm
ent
The concept of the tile fl oor with Our Social Climate Could Use Some Global Warming theme attracts me most. I will make two sets of tiles (approximately six rows of six tiles 13x13cm each), one with a traditional delft blue decoration, one with a traditional Arab decoration. These are decals on tin glaze. I want to print only the blue decoration, using the tin glaze for the white parts. In the middle part of the piece I want to suggest that the tiles clash like drifting ice. To suggest the icy social climate I want to spray white onglaze on a part of the decals.

Self-Portrait As A Building
“Well it started when I was 18, in 1986. I wanted to write a
book. With all the writing materials I had, like ballpoints,
pencils and erasers, I made a floor plan on the floor. It was
a flat building with nine rooms. I called it Inhabited for a
Survey and it served as the basis for a written self-portrait,
which was to be formed collectively by seven imaginary
persons living in the floor plan. It was to be a book without
a beginning or an end, one that I would always have to
keep working on. I wanted to project a mental self-portrait
onto this floor plan, one in which everything would take
place only in language. Making a self-portrait seemed to
me the most fundamental thing to do. However, while
writing it I found I did not like the idea of using written
sentences to dictate to the audience exactly what they
should think. I did not want the selfportrait to become
really personal - it had to remain abstract. I became more
and more fascinated by the physical manifestation of the
floor plan: how I stood there before it as a human being;
how tall I was in relation to the things on the ground;
how the changing light transformed a ballpoint pen so
dramatically; how I could bring my eye closer to an eraser
and what then happened inside my head.”
Number 5
“A recurring theme in my installations is the number 5. Since
1993 I am occupied with it. I have chosen an object from the
world to have a compulsive relationship with. I do this to
find out how my mind works. This could have been a colour,
or shoes, but ‘5’ seemed to be the most appropriate. From
that moment on I see five everywhere. Five trees. Five letter
words. Five fingers. Three erasers and two pencils.”
Parallel Occurrences
“The audience is not there when I create, I
create everything for myself. If the audience
was in my head, I would be a designer who
makes something between the creator and the
public. Depth is not possible then. Art is about
comparison. Art is located in a space which has
the power to let you experience something inside
your head in a certain way. There are people
who want to look at this something in the same
special way. This happened once when I showed a
work in a supermarket. This work was at the same
time in a supermarket and in the area of art. It is
interesting that two kinds of audience occur at
this kind of places. “

hO ld Amsterdam > New Amsterdam
Since we are seriously thinking about
moving to New York, I want to express the
transformation from Amsterdam to New
York. Last year we celebrated 400 years
relationship between Old Amsterdam and
New Amsterdam (Manhattan).
My fi rst idea is to make an installation with
the original lay-out of the canals as centre
piece. This piece will sit on a collection of
wooden piles (branches actually). As you
may know, Amsterdam is built on wooden
piles. I want to make this piece of red clay,
with a relief of the canals (the blue part on
plan). The branches will stand on a slab of
black clay.
On the centre of Amsterdam the tongue-
shaped Manhattan island will take its place
with its sky-scrapers. I would like to make
these sky-scrapers of glass and fuse these
with a slab of white clay.
