Since May 2024 I rent studio M1 on the ground floor of Zeeburgerdijk Artists' Studios at Zeeburgerdijk 25, Amsterdam. At the window side I am realising 30m3__ (pronounced as 'dertig meter drie'), a non-profit project space for experiments, interventions and collabs with fellow artists, starting mid 2025. Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Stadsdeel Oost and Fonds voor Oost are supporting 30m3__. More information about the launch and program for this year will follow soon.

Relational and participatory art project Warung Makan will (finally!) happen, in/around my studio at Zeeburgerdijk 25 in May and/or June 2025. The installation is the launch of 30m3__ and supported by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and Stadsdeel Oost. More information closer to the date. 

This summer on Sunday June 1, July 13, August 31 and September 28 I work as tour guide and tell about the art works at the NDSM area in Amsterdam-Noord. You can register soon. 

Early 2023 I was able to work again with ambulant street vendors in Yogyakarta on Parade. It had been three years since my last visit. In Amsterdam during Covid I wrote a composition with the sounds of the vendors i.c.w. composer Sinta Wullur. Back in Yogya, assisted by a local producer and conductor, I found the vendors and rehearsed the composition. The Development Budget of Amsterdam Fund for the Arts made the project possible until now. We also prepared for Parade as an actual performance which is planned to take place in 2025. For this we need new funding. 

After creating Hoef van Eden in Alkmaar I am investigating the possibilities to realise an artwork in public space, on a square in Amsterdam East, in a participation trajectory with elementary school children.

March 11 I'm one of the participants invited to speak about working in the arts and the issue of Fair Practice. The event, organised by BBK, takes place from 3 till 6 PM at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
