From june 19 til’ last july 11th Gyz and me participated on the group show Kleur 01 (colo(u)r 01) at Dek22, a show in which the works were selected (by guest curator Anique Weve of Fam. Ruim) based on their primary colo(u)r(s) or because they had something to do with one of the primary colo(u)rs otherwise. Gyz’ ‘Yellow Pages’ (2009) and my own —or at least Homey Universalis’— ‘vlag voor het strand’ (flag for the beach, 2007) were on display plus I wrote a little text on the difference of colo(u)rs. This text can (still) be read on a wall in the exhibition going on right now, called Kleur 02 (colo(u)r 02), which is about (the) secondary colo(u)rs, starring (amongst many others) Daan den Houter, Marijke Appelman, Alex Jacobs & Ellemieke Schoenmaker.
from up to down: ‘Yellow Pages’, ‘text on colo(u)r’, ‘vlag voor het strand’.

Wholy Moly! Suus and me entered the Blue Band ‘gezonde vetten’ competition and are nominated to compete with two other entries to win the Folder Challenge Award, an anual advertising award. Pretty exciting, especially since this is the first time we even participated on such a project. Our graphic approach must have worked somehow pretty well in the wild world of adverts. In a funny lil’ film made by GGTV videoproducties you can see us telling about how we got the idea and goof around in the background a little.
Like we mentioned earlier, at the opening of BLURRR –a group show in Tent., featuring Renaissance Gyz– the HuMobisten did a performance called ‘We zijn weer boos!’ (We’re mad again!) about the fact that being angry becomes increasingly harder as we ourselves become more and more understanding. Maybe too much so even. Helped incredibly by Jeroen S. Rozendaal, we came up with the following:
Open ik de brievenbus, zit daar gewoon deze uitnodiging bij, met een foto van de HuMobisten op de voorkant. We wisten van niks. Moet niet gekker worden! Maar dat is juist gaaf, zo zijn we dan ook wel weer, hihi…
