If you were either at the ‘Earth is smaller than thought’ or at the ‘Re: Amsterdam’ show (during Art Amsterdam) you might have seen my work ‘Homey Universalis on… order’. Now, since that thing’s waaaayyyyy too expensive for most people (not counting actual rich people), I had a limited edition (of 50) screen prints made (in a collaboration with photographer Pim Top and top notch screen printer Mike Leach) for you, the low budget crowd. Well, art business has been alright and now there are only ten (10!) hand numbered and signed copies left for sale. So, if you’re eager to get one, mail me – thru mail@rufusketting.com, or contact me on the Mode Neukers facebook page. They are sized 70 cm. x 100 cm. (about 28″ x 40″) and come down to an even € 50,- (fifty euros), 19% taxes and/or shipping excluded.

Last Saturday the exhibition ‘Earth is smaller than thought’, which I kind of suggested Frank Taal to make and host in his very own gallery, opened. It was a great opening of what I think became a really good show. Apart from my own, (new) work of Marijke Appelman, Hans Citroen, Daan den Houter and Matrijs van Merg are on display. It’s open until march 12 and I’ll be informing you all on an especially entertaining lecture I’m planning on having take place there as well.

Anyway, above is a picture of my work ‘Homey Universalis on Order’ (14 big ol’ black characters (ca. 25 centimeters high) attached to the wall), which is part of the ‘Homey Universalis on…’ series. It’s partly covered by Elfie Tromp and Stefan Tijs (good people), who are both in the book business and might therefore both be drawn to the writing on the wall. Practically all the work in the exhibition is for sale, but if you’re on a tight budget I also made a limited amount of screen prints of this particular piece which comes down to an even fifty euros (€ 50,-), signed and numbered.

Dan weet u dat vast…

Some time ago I asked you guys to award Homey Universalis and his design ‘Sad Skull / Happy Skull’ lots of points to help him win the BonBonKakku ‘June / July fabric design’ competition. Back then I was under the impression it was about a wallpaper design competition, turned out to be (curtain) fabric design competition… Same difference, it worked and he won! As a prize his fabric design is now for sale at the BBK website and somehow I received a couple of meters of the actual fabric. Sweet! Thanks everyone for helping a homey out.
