Day 1 of Forward Festival Berlin was a blast ❤️⁠
⁠
We watched the premiere of our 2026 Main Titles by The Mill (@millchannel), picked up insights from Fluoro® (@fluoro.london), Sander Plug (@studiosanderplug), Mr. Bingo (@mr_bingstagram), and more, got our burning questions answered in the panel “The Status Quo of the Creative Industry”, and celebrated the release of the new Forward Magazine at the @hkw_berlin rooftop.⁠
⁠
Day 2, we’re ready 💥⁠

Samen met de artdirector van de VPRO Gids, Carla van Thijn, gingen we langs bij de expositie die zij heeft samengesteld voor het 100-jarig jubileum van de VPRO Gids. Een verzameling van diverse makers, disciplines, kleuren en decennia, waardoor een rijk verhaal wordt verteld over de geschiedenis van het blad.

De expositie is tot half juni te zien op de gevel van Paradiso in Amsterdam.

Litterbugs #29
2024. Plastic waste, reclaimed wood, reclaimed glass.

Catalogue available on request.

A playful image about a serious problem.
Made from plastic found in the streets this project is anout the decline of our insect population on one side and the ever growing amount of plastic waste on the other side. By assembling the plastic into insects and presenting them in a way you would normally see in a museum for natural history, the viewer sees a familiar if not nostalgic image at first. Looking further it becomes obvious that we all play a part in this issue.

The residency of ... Sander Plug (NL)

Sander Plug’s work is intriguingly suggestive. He developed a vase, for instance, with the standard diameter of tape roles, so you can slide various roles over a vertical tube. The piece marries DIY and customisation with a sensitivity for the colour and texture of humble materials. It’s also quite phallic. Another work is based on honeycomb garlands that, you know, expand and contract. Made from different types of clay to form a colour gradient, the garland might celebrate progression, but the transformation from paper to ceramics complicates matters. Although any double entendres were unintended, Plug’s original proposal to create casts from glory holes did point in a certain direction. The casts themselves are dark, impenetrable objects that seem to embody the inescapable gravity of desire — as well as its design and commodification. All works share this capacity to generate myriad meanings well beyond easy libidinous associations — without ever disowning them either.

Plug’s glory holes series started with casting the negative space of in situ glory holes in silicon rubber. These then became the positives from which he made three-part plaster moulds, into which he slip-cast and press-moulded. The final pieces were press-moulded with Terra Niga (black) clay and finished with a black terra sigillata. His tape vase series employed 3D-printed porcelain in combination with small batches of hand-wedged colour clay that were high-fired for watertightness. Plug’s garlands were slab built from various clay mixtures arranged in gradients. With his Lidl receipts he tried many processes on top of slip-cast porcelain, including 3D printed stamps in combination with pigment washes and decal (transfers). Beyond all this, he built upon his practice of wheelthrowing and made further experiments with slip-casting and press-moulding sculptural/design objects.
