Forbidden Fruit exhibition In the press


Short blogpost this time just super happy and proud with this review by Inara Pey in het blog Modem World. As always a great analysis of the exhibition and the artist. Please read it.

The exhibition 'Forbidden Fruit' by Monique (Moni) Beebe will be on the walls of Nitroglobus gallery for another 10 days, before I change exhibtions. 


When arriving at the gallery, you cannot overlook the mesh sculpture, which Kai Kohime made exclusively for this exhibition: you will be welcomed by drifting cherries and pears.

October exhibition @ Nitroglobus gallery

the poster made by Nevereux

Yesterday, 21 October was the opening party for the exhibition 'A beautiful Collapse' by Nevereux & 'CRISP' by Kaiju Kohimen.


This exhibition deals with current topics in the fast changing world we live in today.

'A Beautiful Collapse' is about societal unraveling and the sharp decline of our general values. It provides a series of polaroids meant for a supreme entity to understand humankind and what led us to extinction. It’s helplessness and hopelessness coming together.

'CRISP' is about a Chinese scientist who took CRISP science a bit further and crossed more a few lines.
In the three months since he announced the birth of twin girls with edited genomes, the questions facing the scientific community have grown knottier.
By engineering mutations into human embryos, which were then used to produce babies, He leaped capriciously into an era in which science could rewrite the gene pool of future generations, by altering the human germ line.

Last day of exhibition 'Night walks' & 'Crossing over' at Nitroglobus


I have been super happy with this September 2019 exhibition by Melusina Parkin (images entitled 'Night Walks') & Kai (Kaiju) Kohime (installation entitled 'Crossing Over' @ Nitroglobus.

'NIGHT WALKS: journeys into a dark world'
- Streets are empty in the night. While we walk through them, we can hear the sound of our steps and of our breathing, the rare noise of sizzling lights, a dog barking afar, the noise of a motor that struggles to start. All this can make us feel peaceful and calm, but it's also a bit unsettling -

‘CROSSING OVER’ 
- The vertical small worlds we used to live in, illustrated by male white religious oppression, is slowly tilting towards a more horizontal and more human engagement. This installation is about the continuing struggle between verticalism and a horizontal way of thinking and being, about the masks we put on to protect ourselves from our mirror image -

I will change exhibition tomorrow, soooo hurry if you still want to visit and sit in the cathedral and confess all your SL sins ;-)

Here's your taxi to Nitroglobus.
