Last week I had the great honor of installing three wooden busts at Atelier Néerlandais in Paris.

I was commissioned by head curator from the Design Museum Den Bosch to create them for their “Posthuman” collection.

They are custom-built to support the gorgeous masks from mixed-media artist Lakea Shepard Lakea Shepard .

The exhibition was by invitation from the Dutch Embassy in France Ambassade du Royaume des Pays-Bas en France and is on display during Paris Design Week until Friday, September 18th.

Next Friday the 4th, I will return to Kunstruimte De Melkfabriek!

Exactly 1 year after opening my solo-exhibition
‘The Still Point’.

I will talk about my work as an artist and the difficult balance between work-for-self and work-on-commission.

I will have just finished a long project on-commission and will be mentally preparing for my next residency at Het Nest Den Bosch in December!

Come by for an informal chat at a cosy local artspace with of course, some beers and nuts.

Last weekend we enjoyed ourselves at the JEM International Puppet festival.

Two years ago I presented a sprawling four-room exhibition, with performance, at Projection room as part of the festival. This year I could return not only as a representative from NVP-UNIMA, and not only as a spectator, but able to experience it through the eyes of my young daughter.

What impresses me about how Théâtre Royal du Péruchet programs the festival is the way they make it feel so personal and family orientated, all the while hosting international performers and guests.

Everything was based conveniently scattered around their own premises and not scattered throughout a city, giving plenty to do and see without the stress of travelling long distances in a rush.

Our two days allowed us to experience the visceral storytelling of Prague based Dafa Puppet Theatre; the endearing and educational storytelling of Hawaii-based Bonnie Kim, The peaceful intimacy of Katanari and her 1-spectator performance; the mechanical wonders of Antwerp-based De Machienerie; the poetic fantasy of Cie Buguel Noz; the wonderfully interactive drawing installation from Theatre du Sursaut, and many more!

Festival lasts until 31 May...

Happy World Puppetry Day

Funny to post this literally a few months after attempting to retire from building puppets on commission (seriously) ! After my exhibition last year of personal artwork I was intending to focus in that direction for the coming future, and do less work for film & theatre.

But the problem with puppets is they always attract nice people doing interesting projects!

So I agreed to make this complicated dog puppet for

But on one condition- not to work alone. And thank the puppet spirits that Noor Sanders agreed to come on board. They took on the complicated process of designing/ assembling the fully moveable legs & agreed to come back at the end to help with assembly and applying the delicate paper-thin bark as fur.

Noor unfortunately was not in the studio on the day Teis .nl filmed, that’s why it conveniently looks like I’ve done all the work myself 😉😉

Good luck, David and

Don’t forget to feed and walk him!
