With my new art installation ‘Final Rehearsal’ part of #voorlopers exhibition 

Final Rehearsal (ESPRIT DE CORPS), 2022

“Do we still have time for a final rehearsal? Can we pass on our planet with propriety to the generations to come?

For future generations, we must keep the rudder straight to preserve a habitable and livable planet. But where do we go, which direction to take?

We all have to do it, together and collaboratively, even if we have different perspectives, sometimes back to back, consultatively, and put your shoulders to the wheel.”

Next step in the process of making the new install Next step in the process of making the new installation for the VOORLOPERS exhibition at Soestdijk Palace 

Taking the sawn wood from sawmill De Salamander in Leidschendam over to the amazing craftswoman, Marjet Röling in The Hague. 
Starting to build the art installation together, we are taking on the challenges of the original sketch design, becoming a reality.

Marjet and I have been working together on  projects since 2014. From building and designing museum shows to commissioned work, big or small, always a pleasure and great fun! 

Forever grateful for sharing her knowledge and experience with me. And most importantly, she has the guts to join me on new adventures! 
Thanks @marjet_roling ❤️

Martien van Vliet and Jan van der Ploeg are wood e Martien van Vliet and Jan van der Ploeg are wood experts volunteering at monument wood sawmill De Salamander in Leidschendam. 
The Douglas wood for my new installation at the garden exhibition at Paleis Soestdijk was cut to size by them, using the traditional machinery inside the historic wind mill. 
Martien and Jan are so well attuned to each other that they don't need words when they are working together, they are mates in every sense. 
They ‘listen’ to the wood and work with the signs the wood itself gives off. 

Thank you Martien and Jan for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship ❤️

With Miller Rick Vermeulen and craftswoman Marjet With Miller Rick Vermeulen and craftswoman Marjet Röling at national monument wood sawmill De Salamander in Leidschendam. Underneath the mill all kinds of wood batches are being kept for at least a year to dry. This is after they spent a year or three in the water. The ‘watering’ will improve the workability and the durability of the wood and will reduce the working of wood after it is dried.

We found the right batch of Douglas wood from Royal Estates De Horsten in Wassenaar to make my new art installation, which will be part of the VOORLOPERS garden exhibition at Soestdijk Palace. 
This Douglas wood is sustainably sawn by wind at the mill by an expertteam of voluntary millers and wood craftsmen.

VOORLOPERS
Curator Marie Jeanne de Rooij presenteert met VOORLOPERS vijftien kunstenaars die in Nederland wonen, werken of opgeleid zijn. Kunstenaars die vernieuwend en visionair zijn, het experiment niet schuwen en die verrassen. Kortom: kunstenaars die echte voorlopers zijn.  De kunstwerken tonen een gevarieerde selectie van hedendaagse kunst. Naast ‘echte’ beelden, wordt in de werken de grenzen opgezocht van uiteenlopende kunstdisciplines zoals bijvoorbeeld bio-design, videokunst en robotica.

Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL), David Bade, Cecilia Bengtsson, BuroLdR, Iliada Charalambous, Ivan Cremer, Bram Ellens, Groenewoud/Buij, Bob Hendrikx, Marjan Laaper, Silvia Martes, Ingrid Mol, Zeger Reyers, Lennart Lahuis, Birgit Verwer
