Vinyl adhesive letters on window, 2011.
A series of interventions/photographs for which I collect sentences from business proposals that are being emailed to me and that I have plotted out as vinyl adhesive letters. With those sentences I look for vacant commercial windows (shops, offices). Once a suitable window is found I then paste a sentence on the empty shopping window. Oddly enough the business opportunities a vacant shopping space offer work beautifully with the empty promises of loads of money in your email box.
The letter font is Arial, one of the ten Core fonts for the Web.

A site-specific exhibition performance by Jeroen Bosch, Jeroen Jongeleen and myself as part of Trendbeheer’s ongoing Trendbeheer presenteert exhibition series.
Potrait of an art fair in 150 sales. During the 5 days of Art Amsterdam 2011 we documented ‘every’ sale made by photographing the red sales stickers. In every picture we would center the red dot and scale it it to 8 mm (the standard size of the red sticker), give it a title (included in every picture), print it, frame it and hang it in our booth. At the start of the fair our booth was empty (except for a grid of 300 screws) and by the end of the fair the installation was complete.
The framed photographs are also for sale (edition of 1). During the fair 79 pieces were sold. For a list of all the works see: Trendbeheer.com/2011/05/23/for-the-love-of-money-de-werken-2/

Trendbeheer presents at Art Amsterdam: the First Virtual Exhibition of Shows. An exhibition organised and curated by Jeroen Bosch and myself as part of Trendbeheer’s ongoing Trendbeheer presenteert exhibition series.
25 exhibitions at 25 different locations all coming together in the Trendbeheer booth during the Amsterdam art fair. A live webcam connection switches every 20 seconds from one location to the next. A continuous live stream of artworks that are hanging somewhere else. A oneness in time, a difference in location. The network as the exhibition.
With the First Virtual Exhibition of Shows we received a nomination for the Expo Jaarprijs 2010 (category innovation).

Februari 25, 18:00 – 21:00 uur, 2010.
An exhibition organised and curated by Jeroen Bosch and myself as part of our ongoing Trendbeheer presenteert exhibition series. This time taking place at SecondROOM / MOORdnoceS in Brussels where we presented four solos, two retrospectives and three group exhibitions in three hours.
Variations on common exhibition formats. The solo, the retrospective and the group exhibition. 9 exhibitions in the same exhibition space. Not next to each other but one after the other, making time an extreme factor.
Every exhibition would be hung, have an official opening, be documented, have a finissage, be taken down again and have it’s own blogpost on Trendbeheer. With works by Henny Overbeek, Jeroen Bosch, Esther Kokmeijer, Simon Schrikker and Boris Tellegen (among many others).

A collection of 9 misspelled e-mail subject lines I found in my digital inbox. The misspellings are used to fool spamfilters into delivering the message in my e-mail inbox. Quite often these emails are about sex and selling viagra but for some reason the sex words are always spelled correct. Part of an ongoing series about the ubiquitous computer generated texts known as spam.
