Black Panther Power!
Man, this project was the best! A full weekend working with the Minister of Culture of the Black Panthers! (Pictures) Check out the man’s, and the other panthers’ amazing work! Support him by buying his book, and organizing resistance against injustice. I created a colouring picture showing some politicians in a style referencing to Emory’s earlier [...]
Projectweek “Aktie”
I was invited to be a guestspeaker for a one week long, academywide project which I was enlisted in as student as well. The theme of the week was action, so I shared with the students what the contemporary resistance is about, and what we could do to add to it. After this presentation we [...]
Applicate
Still a running subject, a study to alienation. After I told some people about what it was I was asked to participate in a course. It turned out to be an application course for alumni from the Inholland University that don’t know what they want to do. Not knowing what you are about is I [...]
Just decoration.
The Stukafest Rotterdam 2010 invited me, Margueritte Kruger, Job van Doeselaar, Nikki Oosterveen and Marguerite van Sandick to decorate the opening and afterparty of their festival. So we did, mainly for the experience of working in a culture overdosed environment, and came up with some interesting results. The festival was promoting their search for a [...]

Artplatform de Kapsalon invites artists to take over the showroom and turn in up side down. So I used the space as a workspace and after a month of hard labour (a retrospect presentation + [...]
Crisis Tax
Dear you are going to pay for the financial crisis. Though I don’t think that would be absolutely necessary, especially in the form of today’s policy. Since all the plans until now are affecting lower class people much more than the upper, rich class. The resistance against these is growing, but at the same time [...]
The People’s “Power Pill®™”
A project I have initiated with Jose Simoes and Elisabeth Ida, which are both not resident in the same country as me, but consider themselves international citizens as well. At Artis we were intrigued by the urge people have for (prescription) drugs. So we molded the cure for the existing forms of inequality in our [...]

Most original!
To get to Australia (for love), I needed money, but applying for a job would be useless for I could only work for a couple of weeks. I also wanted a job with nice flexible hours, a lot of contact with people, no cubicle, a lot of sun and with a chance to develop my [...]
