Slip Slap Slop

Slip Slap Slop

Opening Sunday 7 Sept. at 15.00
07.09 - 05.10 2008

IVES.one part of show with Shane Waltener (UK)


What do you do with a birdcage, sugar, an egg and two pebbles? A sculpture maybe? Shane Waltener’s Slip Slap Slop exhibition at MKgalerie features some 15 sculptures from the Ready Steady Sculpt series. Assembled from the artist’s own personal belongings domestic ware, cooking utensils, artworks and craft items including pieces by Franz West and Zaha Hadid, these works survey the artist’s ongoing interest in craft and design practices and their positioning with relation the contemporary art object.

Alongside the sculptures, a large graffiti mural will be shown, the result of a collaboration between Waltener, DJ Spacemaker and graffiti artists IVES.one, KOOS.F. If graffiti is about talking back and self-affirmation, it is also about speed. One works quickly before getting caught. With this in mind, the mural will be produced only days prior the opening, with each artist pooling inspiration from each other work as it is being produced, the sculptures on show and the music played throughout this time. Slip Slap Slop is the last of a series of Sweet Graffiti projects, initially conceived for Tate Britain in 2006, and further developed at the Fresh Paint exhibition at MKgalerie (Berlin) in 2007, Cooking and Constructing at Platform 21 (Amsterdam) and A World of Food Around You at the Teatro del Parco (Parma) in 2008.

Shane Waltener lives and works in London.
IVES.one is based in Amsterdam.
KOOS.F. in Rotterdam.

SOLAR FESTIVAL 20000000008

Oh YEAAAAAAAAH I'm still alive !!!!!

It all started friday with a nice drive to Roermond, thats like 2 hours from Amsterdam.
We arrived and dropped our stuff, built up our campsite, so we had all the time to build up de UmbrellART show in the BOTSAUTOLAUNCH. After that we went to Maastricht, just to rock some stencils and stick up some stickers. Saturday the festival started. We had our own spot in the launch were we did some live painting, while there were breakers doing their tricks and spins. The crowd was super, other artists around rocked their spot. So we made a nice hook up with VAGEGASTEN.

Fons and me putt up some work on the wall of the guys of VAGEGASTEN, thanks again dudes we had a great time. In the night there was a nice afterparty on the campside. off course we partied like it was '99!

Sunday it rained crazy so everybody had a nice chill day, when the sun came out we started where the story on saturday made a end. after some time LELE, de JEUGD VAN TEGENWOORDIG did their show, VAGEGASTEN started up drawing some boards while the show was on, so I rocked the show with them, it was a mad show after the beer shower for one of the vagegasten :} and a lot of beer drinking I really digged the the gig.

After the crowed had to leave the festival cause it was over, the last party started. I dont know how I survived that party. it doesn't matter anyway I'm still here and still running.

I wanna thank everybody who was with me WESLEY,DAVID en FONS. ofcourse I also wanna thank the people from SOLAR festival, VAGEGASTEN, SECURITY GUARD1 and everybody who partied with us.
