Mascotte of the North at IJplein

The Mascotte of The North of Amsterdam, designed by me as part of the project Mooimakers with the input of the inhabitants. A concept for a 3D printed version at the IJplein, there where the ferry comes and goes 🙂

Thanks to the municipality of Amsterdam and Woning Stichting Ymere

Perfumes and bottles

My perfumes exhibited in the Dutch Theatre Museum in the nine-tees.

Since I graduated from the Rietveld Art Academy I created perfumes from places, situations and remembrance. Here are my perfumes and bottles about the senses.


Golden Ophelius, a perfume men dream of &
Hameletta, a wet dream for women.

Open studio

Twenty five years Kenpenaerstudio! Celebrated with open studio’s with movies art-films presentation of design and art theatre and music performances. A day to remember.

I presented my opera drawings and parts of the libretto. With music from @thomasvgeerts.

And I showed my Crash paintings and graphic score based on a real story from filmmaker Tjepke Zijlstra (@peppe_zucchini). Visualizing the energie of a near dead experience after a crash. A child from about 6 years said he had seen those lights when he broke his arm, and a psychic man said it was his daily experience, those energies and recognized the spiritual figure.

It was a day to remember.

Thanks to @hanneke_gol for the photos

Augmented Reality glasses

AR glasses is a pretty new product. Looking through the glasses one can see an world that’s projected over the reality. It works in combination with the little device I have in my hand.

Great options for new inventions. At the University of the Arts Utrecht ❤️ How can this work with music and visuals and games/ interaction. We are about to find out with students of Games and Music Technologies

MJ

Parts of my graphic score MJ. An ode to my sister and friend Marion who passed away so young. The score is devised in 3 parts. Part one is about het youth, part two about our travel to Cuba and the last one about her suffering and death.

The hand of my father. Research

Finally getting somewhere; found historical pics of the place where the accident happend. As the village Hulten was seriously bombed, a lot of ammunition must have been lying around there.
