view of my contribution to the exhibition ‘FAMILIE’ in 2006

Robin Kolleman asked me, Maria Roosen and Gijs Assman
as her ‘family members’ in this show in TENT. Rotterdam
like in a family get-together, each of us was free to invite ‘partners’, which we all did.
i invited Lisa Couwenbergh and André van de Wijdeven in my rooms

here from left to right: a painting by Lisa, André’s white work, Lisa’s floor piece and my cut foil ‘passageway’ 2002.

with André, I made the work ‘Kutschatje Omhelzing’ 2006: his sculpture ‘Kutschatje’ carried by my ‘Omhelzing’ (embrace) made of used men’s shirts

in the central room (Plein), we installed all together, without using any words - and not allowed to change anything one of the others has placed…
this group action resulted in a clash of works:

with in the middle here my work ‘Hope’ 1998
(later also present in the duo exhibition ‘Kleider machen Kunst’ 2011 in Gerhard Marks Haus Bremen D)

also present in ‘FAMILIE’ 2006 were: ‘roseclotH’ 2005 (textile) / ‘recht/tense’ 1993 (plaster) /
‘you inside of me inside of you’ 2005/2006 (cut carpet and vinyl) / ‘Hope’ 1998 (textile) / ‘zusjes’ 1994 (clay)
