I’ve been neglecting this professional page for too long. It doesn’t mean I’m not working on exciting projects, though! Therefor I’m always on the lookout for fresh ideas by contemporary artists. Best thing to do this is by visiting exhibitions, galleries and artists studios.
Images are from the exhibition ‘Exodus’ at Buitenplaats Doornburgh.

Finally worked on a new look and feel for my website to promote my curatorial work . Not completely ready, I'll have to work on some new and substantive input, but I'm happy with the new appearance! Please take a look at: https://lnkd.in/dHPHa9eJ

Thanks to RogierTeijgeler for the webdesign and Etienne Oldeman 📷 for the new photography.

This Friday July 16th I will participate in 'New Approaches to Piranesi: A Virtual Roundtable' organised by Jeanne Britton and Zoe Langer .org for HECAA (Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture). I'll talk about the ideas behind the exhibition 'For the Love of the Master, 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi' to be held in Dublin May-September 2022.

What does a curator do when exhibitions are postponed and projects on hold? Well, in my case I worked on my second love: archival research and a bit of writing in connection with country houses. Research can be exciting as well. Finding a print of boxing men in an 18th century travel journal and a reference to the story of a diamant thief in a lady's journal from the 19th century did it for me. I admit, reseach may not be as exciting as sharing contemporary art in historic houses with a wider public, but nevertheless, it was a rewarding year for me, also thanks to these publications. I do hope to be able to share images of the Piranesi exhibition in 2021 and enlighten you on new projects. Happy 2021!

One of my favorite artists of all times, Giovanni Battista Piranesi was born on this day 300 years ago. This tercentenary should have been marked by the exhibition ‘For the Love of the Master, 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi’ with new and exciting works of contemporary artists that are still inspired by Piranesi’s legacy. Fingers crossed we can present the show next year !

Five years ago I co-curated this exhibition. It was a great succes! It continues to be an inspiration for new projects that link contemporary art with heritage.

Instead of announcing the opening of the exhibition ‘For the Love of the Master’ on the fascination for Piranesi in Dublin, I have to share that the exhibition will be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is another postponement in a long list of other worldwide exhibitions that are waiting for the end of this crisis. Keep well everyone and hope to present the wonderful selection of art works in better and happier circumstances!

So great to see curatorial initiatives become reality! Swedish artist Petter Piotr Rhodiner making new work for the exhibition ‘For the Love of the Master’ at the plaster workshop in Dublin. Wonderful to see that sharing knowledge between the craftsmen working on restoring historic plasterwork and a contemporary artist working with the same material ends up in a great experience for everyone.

P for Piranesi! Earlier this week I visited the Robinson Library in Armagh to see the volumes that they will generously loan to the exhibition ‘For the Love of the Master, 25 artists fascinated by Piranesi’ that will open the last weekend of May 2020 at The Coach House Gallery, Dublin Castle and the Casino at Marino. This illustrated capital letter shows the genius of Piranesi as a designer.

Hello 2020! A year that I’ve been working towards professionally for quite some time has finally arrived! 2020 marks the 300th birthday of 18th century Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. I am proud to announce the exhibition:

For the Love of the Master
25 artists fascinated by Piranesi

My curatorial passion for linking the contemporary with heritage has lead to a collaboration with the Office of Public Works in Ireland to stage an exhibition with contemporary art inspired by Piranesi in the stunning historical setting of Dublin’s Casino at Marino and the Coach House Gallery from May 29th until October 11th 2020
