Local legend has it that in 1909, painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani threw several sculptures into the canal of his hometown in Livorno, Italy. In 1984, on what would have been the artist’s 100th birthday, an underwater search was organized and proved to be successful. Deux pierres retrouvées d’Amedeo Modigliani is a reading and reinterpretation of Due pietre ritrovate di Amedeo Modigliani, a catalog published in September 1984. Through texts and images, this Italian catalog describes the discovery in Livorno’s Fosso Reale of two heads sculpted by Amedeo Modigliani: photo portfolio, historical perspective, biographical approach, research progress, chemical and technical analyses. The continuity of the story surrounding the catalog reveals how the elegant Italian publication, quickly banned for sale, became a uchronia through an event that never actually took place.

Publication for artist collective Mahony with a text by Irene de Craen, after their residency at Hotel Maria Kapel. In the summer of 2015 artist collective Mahony resided at Hotel Maria Kapel (HMK) in Hoorn, the Netherlands in order to research the town’s celebrations of ‘400 years Cape Horn’. The research focused on the creation of self-image in relation to history and its representation, and how these are reflected in current discussions in the Netherlands concerning race and the telling of history, in particular Dutch colonial history. This publication is an account of that research. Images by Mahony and text by Irene de Craen. Order here.

Le Rideau was produced during a residency at Villa Belleville. The beaded pasta curtain is a testimony of our time and labour in the room. The piece resonates with the verticality of the space and functions as a constantly moving image, stretched and deformed by the coming and going of people. The curtain served as a backdrop for poetry reading, a décor for a bar, and a dividing wall for an exhibition space.

Publication from and after our residency at the Art Department of Subbacultcha, Amsterdam. This book functions as the third and last event of our residency at Da Costakade. The first part of the book compiles excerpts of found and written texts shared during and after the residency. The image part documents the wall-to-wall carpet presented during the first event (1. The opening, 17th Dec 2015) and a re-enactment of the series of exercises performed during the second event (2. The reception, 31st Dec 2015). For the occasion of the launch we organised a small reading series at San Serriffe (Amsterdam).
Residency at the Art Department, Da Costakade, Amsterdam. December 2015 and January 2016. With Physical Culture.
During the timeframe of the residency the different facets of the basement were activated; a place where societies gather, a provisional home, an exercising room and an visual archive department. It became an enclosed environment where the rules of agenda and schedule were altered. First, a carpet was executed by hand, to fit the entire ground surface; a basis and a witness for researches and public openings. 3 build-in closets already present in the basement opened for each event; the Opening, the Reception and the Finissage. Researches circulated around the themes of renewal of time, in the context of the end of the year, and the idea of training. A series of stretching exercices were performed during the last day of the year, as a resistance to show a prefixed and final result. The Finissage was presented in another space than the basement, at San Serriffe (Amsterdam).
In the meantime, we coded physicalculture.nl/agenda—a display of visual input turned output as a modern day convertible calendar.
Ritual without Myth. Publication. Personal research. 16 pages, 18.5cm x 27.5cm. 2013.
Imaginary catalogue for an invented exhibition. Along with some Brazilian artists such as Amilcar de Castro, Franz Weissmann, Lygia Pape and the poet Ferreira Gullar, Lygia Clark co-founded the Neo-Concretist art movement. The Neo-Concretists believed that art ought to be subjective, organic and not theorised. During the 1970's, Clark explored the role of sensory perception and psychic interaction that the participants would have with her artwork. She referred to this as the "Ritual without Myth". In the final years of her career, Clark focused on psychotherapy and the use of art as a healing method.
