In the Japanese language there are at least 50 nouns to describe rain. Porcelain used to be a medium of travelling communication transmitting stories, momentums.
During a residency in Arita, Japan’s most famous high end porcelain production landscape I collaborated with the potter Fukusengama to come to a process to ‘draw’ on porcelain with the rain. Made by Rain ware will be distributed by Thomas Eyck’s label t.e from end of April.

In the Outdoor Museum of the Zuiderzee Museum you will find premises that used to be located at various places round the former Zuiderzee. Across this historic setting they have set out the design route: at different locations you can see how the cultural history of the Zuiderzee has inspired designers and artists to create new insights. Using modern interpretations of traditional techniques, materials and themes, the Zuiderzee Museum underlines the value of our heritage for the present.
Examples include Richard Hutten’s contemporary Zuiderzee Chair in the chapel and the wooden shoes by Victor & Rolf in the farmhouse on the city canal. In addition there are a number of new presentations this year, for example the Weathering Blue project of Aliki van der Kruijs in the fishermen’s quarter. On show till the 29th of October 2017.

For the exhibition Designing the Surface in Het Nieuwe Instituut, initiator Chris Kabel researched together with Koehorst in ‘t Veld the finish, the final layer that is on top of practically everything around us. They delved into what surfaces want and afford in a wide-ranging survey that extends from the deepest black to the most shimmering shine.
I am commissioned to make a work around the display of Anish Kapoors’ vantablack by the use of my material Daylit. You are welcome to join the opening at the 26th of January from 5 PM. More info about the exhibition here

Coming up, exhibition in Zuiderzeemuseum in the context of the 10 years anniversary of the label Thomas Eyck. Exhibition 10 years of Thomas Eyck curated by Jules van den Langenberg is open from 23 December 2016 – 14 May 2017. To mark this tin jubilee momentum ten product series were selected from the Thomas Eyck’s collection, which are exemplary for the collaborations the publisher & distributor has developed with designers and producers since 2007. Accordingly, ten young designers, artists and architects were invited to create a project in which the iconic t.e. objects are studied and recontextualised. The exhibition reviews the past decade and forecasts a potential future for the t.e. collection. Installation 8/10 by Aliki van der Kruijs is a reflection on the ‘Colour, based on nature’ series developed by book designer Irma Boom and producer Eijffinger for the t.e. collection in 2012.
Coming soon — Residency in Arita, Japan. Works in various techniques to imply nuances, tactility and texture of textile characteristics onto porcelain.
