Netherlands

From the 17th of may 2009, Trooster' Safe Foundation started P.ART of your life, a new artspace in Zwolle.
2007 - 51 colourboxproject
51 (2006) are four series of 51 colourboxes (oil pastels in the original boxes) that he melts in an oven. First he makes a composition then he lets the oven finish the work. Sometimes the result is an improvement and sometimes it is a destruction of the composition. Always it is a matter of letting loose and of accepting the gifts of the heat of the oven. The results he is going to show in series hanging from the wall. He invites all kinds of people to make a composition in one of the boxes. In this way all kinds of people can participate in his project.
