DE CEUVEL GALLERY ASKED ME TO INSTALL AN EXHIBITION FOR THEIR OFFICIAL OPENING DURING THE GLUE FESTIVAL IN AMSTERDAM. THE OUTSIDE OF THE FORMER HOUSEBOAT IS TURNED INTO A 3D PIECE, IN COLLABORATION WITH STUDIO VALKENIER (CO-EXHIBITOR), THRU WHICH YOU ENTER THE GALLERY. UPON ENTERING, IN THE LEFT SIDE STUDIO VALKENIER, ALSO ARCHITECT OF THE PROJECT “DE CEUVEL”, EXHIBITED THEIR PROJECTS. AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE I WAS GIVEN FREE HAND TO INSTALL MY WORK.

ON ONE SIDE OF THIS SPACE I MADE AN INSTALLATION CALLED “THE HOLY TRINITY”, IT’S A LARGER TRANSLATION OF “SUBTRACTIVE DUALITY”, A WORK BASED ON JOSEF ALBERS’ COLOR THEORIES. BY MAKING USE OF A SUBTRACTIVE MIXTURE OF COLORS, AN OPTICAL ILLUSION IS CREATED, OPAQUE COLORS OF A SIMILAR TINT CREATE AN ILLUSION OF TRANSPARENCY. THE COMPOSITION AND USE OF ACTUAL DEPTH ADD TO A CERTAIN ‘MOVEMENT’ IN THE INSTALLATION. ON THE OTHER SIDE I PRESENTED SINGULAR ART WORKS BASED ON THE SAME PRINCIPLE.
