Back to White, not to Normal! Artful knowing and organizational change, The Post-liminal (part 4)

11-5

Back to White, the project of painting my previous work white. I have written about this as a metaphor and practice of lived experiences in my studio. And I used the concept of liminality as a grounding idea for my understanding of change in terms of rites of passage. Having discussed the separation rites and

Adam’s Apple: The sour-sweet smell of Paradise

23-4

It never felt so green Week 5 of the lock-down. Looking outside, from my window this morning, I have not seen the sky so clear, since I was seven years old. I notice the leaves on the branches are so green they smell of green apples. Like when you put your teeth in for the

This change story is changing I started, pre-corona, to write this series on change: my Linked-In posts as a public invitation to make sense of a very personal inquiry about changing my artistic genre.

14-12

Ik vraag me af of je daar nou echt wat van leert. Ik mis soms ambiguïteit en ik verlang steeds meer naar

Keep in Mind: Berlin Change Days 2016

19-11

Walking through Kreuzberg, I realized what a great choice it was to organize the Berlin Change Days in that part of town. Great for roaming the streets (we had splendid autumn weather), great for shopping (I bought a windercoat) and going out (Jazzclub in Rosenthaler Strasse). I had just been asked to co-design and co-facilitate
