I am very delighted to be taking part in de/cipher in gkg Bonn! The exhibition is curated by curator Susannah Cremer-Bermbach. We have been in intensive contact over the past few months for my contribution, a site-specific wall work about creating and other verbs in and around the (artistic) process. *
'Cipher' in German means 'digit', 'cipher', 'zero' and 'monogram' and above all a secret writing, the translation of (everyday) language into an encrypted message, a code. The exhibition title 'De/cipher' thus refers to a semiotic interplay between encoding and decoding, and in a more general sense around translation - of lines, shapes, colors, patterns, signs and symbols.
One of the first try outs in Dutch for wall work
* Unfortunately, the execution of the mural in Bonn cannot take place due to lack of funding. I will show five works from the INBETWEEN series which is a splendid match within this context.

Additionally, we are currently working on an "Amsterdam Edition" of de/cipher. From April 21 - May 21, 2023, de/cipher will be on view in the historic and central location of Arti et Amicitiae, with a lively peripheral program of performances, séances and lectures.
