Exhibition: Gulliver’s Collections by Pet van de Luijtgaarden

Finally The Day was there.
The Unveiling of The Giant
It was as exciting as Pet van de Luijtgaarden had promised it to be.

First shrouded in darkness.
Then lights began to flicker accompanied by some 80’s sci-fi movie score…

Again my lamp – that is included in the exhibition – made it to the telly! Watch the item on Gulliver’s Collections below:
(for those who really only want a sneak peek at my lamp: take a look at 37.23)

Maybe I should consider going back to 3D seeing all the attention this lamp has been recieving…?

Go see the exhibition (also great with kids)! It will only be running for a few more days, until the 22nd of July.

Exhibition: Gulliver’s Collections, opening today!

Feel like an opening party? Feel like an actual Giant Party? With a Giant Collection of Collections? In a Giant Hall of a Giant Exhibition Center? Then you’re invited!

Today the massive exhibition Gulliver’s Collections will be opening at the ‘Jaarbeurs’ in Utrecht. Pet van de Luijtgaarden and his collections have done it again. This time in an even bigger venue than ever before. Pet wants to show us the absurdity of the multitude of things in our society, he asks himself: why do people need all this stuff?

My lamp of sunglasses will be included again!

Exhibition: Fred & Guus Pop Up Gallery has opened!

Last week me and my new BF Kim Welling had great fun at the opening of Fred & Guus‘s Pop Up Gallery.

I already sold a piece but happened to end up with some cute little PasToe sidetables (Fred & Guus are also selling the loveliest second hand designer items)… how did that happen?!

So much for earning a living ;).

To all of you: Go! And buy! (of course this could translate as: please support young artists…)
