We installed an improvised beach under the name on MÊKH-beach in our booth with firm carton. During the fair we put memories, recent observations and ideas in the waves and on the sand, as if they washed on the shore, ready to be taken back by the waves. We thought it might be a fitting image for the creative process as we perceive it. I will put some of my personal details here and a full report can be seen on the EX-MÊKH site later on. After the first day with on the top right my painting Les Râmes from the first exhibition with EX-MÊKH The installation at the end Decoration and title of the French biography La vie de Goya, about the biggest inspiration I had since art school The sun The sun in context The blue sky with diary notes and a citation from Mushallam da Piera (Girona 13th AC) Textworks and sundots with painted feet cut-outs Sundot with lemniscate and olive-eyes, walked over a couple of times Reversal of the Tide On the last day of Platforms Project 2024 we organised Reversal of the Tide: we offered the works we put into the beach-scene to the public at reasonable prices. Earlier Ellen Rodenburg asked people to cut out their foot in carton and to decorate that foot. Some of those were also on sale. A number of people amongst whom Artemis Potamianou, director of the fair, gallery-owners, volunteers of the fair and parents of the kids who decorated their feet bought small works and took it with them. A proud volunteer with one of Maarten’s Jellyfish Allessandra Falbo (Darling Pearls fom London) and Topp (or Dubio from the reknowned Topp and Dubio) also went for the jellyfish Maarten and one of the volunteers Ellen and one of the volunteers who takes one of Ellen’s ants A happy guide Guillaume Krick of Le Bureau d’Art et de Recherche from Roubaix (FR) goes for my peace sun ray on MÊKH-beach
