Impressions of the opening of the exhibition by Stichting Maldoror in the Mimesia Gallery in Den Haag.

We’re proud to announce our summer exhibition, showcasing works by Anthony Blokdijk, Jan Duivenvoorden, Floris Duijvestein, Marie-claire van der Heijden, Sarina Missot and Victor van der Oever. This particular group of artists share a link with Stichting (foundation) Maldoror (The Hague, 1987).

In 2012 Stichting Maldoror celebrated its 25th birthday by travelling to Indonesia to trade 25 Dutch artworks for 25 Indonesian art works. In Yogyakarta, Maldoror chairman Anthony Blokdijk was invited to set up a project for children with Down Syndrome. As part of the funding, a website was created where friends of Maldoror would offer artworks for sale.

The exhibition ‘Stitching Maldoror’ is the finale of the project, with works created by the six artists who were presented on the website.

The opening event on Friday evening August 5th will start at 7.30pm.

I’m the new subject of Maldoror Gallery’s monthly experiments, starting from today. My original plan was to become enlightened by transforming the material into the immaterial. which practically means: to digitize dozens of antique audio and video cassettes, paperwork, writings, drawings and objects and publish everything on the internet where it will remain until the 2012 solar flares come to erase all our hard drives. The ETC (estimated time of completion) counter on the bottom right of this page shows the number of days left before our world is supposed to end. According to recent popular beliefs however, this may have been too optimistic: comets, bacteria, radiation, vulcano’s and bankers work hard to speed things up, meaning I better make some haste. Hereby, I thank Tony Blokdijk for offering me this deadline opportunity, and I promise to do my best to make use of it, Jan Duivenvoorden (mildly suffering from cucumber flu).

It starts with a knife and ends with a knife. There’s some tension between security and insecurity. Something’s boiling.
