By far, the most awesome exhibition I ever participated in as an artist. The curators of COME ALIVE: Ine Gevers and Morgan Catalina invited me to show my work The Finger Rub Rug and it has been on view in Utrecht from April 28 to 31 st July 2022. What I liked about this idea is that the installation gets new meanings by for example showing it in a dark room in the old cellar where they used to keep coins. The exhibition showed the work of more than 40 acclaimed artists whose artworks deal with themes around eroticism, pleasure and fun – and I am so flattered to have my work next to theirs and some to meet them personally. Hope to do this kind of show again soon.
Assistant curator Cecile van Bruggen showed me this incredible moment of children playing on the artwork, saying they were big fans and came back for more. It is something strange how attractive this work is for children of all ages. It was unpredictable when I made the piece but I do cherish it.
Big thanks to the whole COME ALIVE team, it was an unforgettable experience!
