Some inspiration. I spent a day walking around MUDAM in early 2019. So that also brings back some pleasant memories. I picked up in my RSS reader from their blog: The MUDAM exhibition is also interesting: https://mefamily.mudam.com/about

Art over time
I mean, I really don’t know what I am doing. You try to develop a theory, or make some kind of sense out of reality, but then at some point you just have to do something. That something for me is taking the materials of the Internet and combining them in different ways and observing…
