December 2022 and January 2023 I continued working on Parade with ambulant street vendors in Yogyakarta. It had been three years since my last visit there. In the meantime I realised a musical composition in Amsterdam with the specific sounds of the vendors, in collaboration with composer Sinta Wullur. The aim in Yogyakarta was to find the vendors, rehearse and prepare a parade. I worked from our home there and at Krack! Studio & Gallery, and was assisted by producer Iteq Fitri Kristiyoarti and conductor Mas Krimbi. We succeeded in our process. The actual performance will take place later in 2023 or 2024. Until now the project has been made possible by the Development Budget at the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts.

Early February 2023 a jury selected my proposal for an art work at the Campus De Hoef school yard in the city of Alkmaar. The proposal consists of a bridge to an island in a pond, with a gazebo on stilts. A number of trees surround the installation. The basic material of the bridge and gazebo is hardwood, at the same time the beams of both structures are covered with tens of thousands of second-hand LEGO bricks. More information after our meeting on March 8.
