June 19, 2026 EX-MÊKH opened the anniversary exhibition Unifying Fury at Quartair Contemporary Art Initiatives in Den Haag (NL). Our friend and Berlin representative Isolde Nagel was special guest to our opening and performed the opening act together with Ellen Rodenberg. We showed personal works in the space and two video’s in a side room in which our collaboration is illustrated in two projects: Stage Arousal. which we produced for a Corona online version of Platforms Project in Athens. The tree of us shot it in wintertime at Maarten’s studio in Den Haag. A second video is Wormhole, for which Maarten designed a space at Garderen near the national park of the Veluwe. Furthermore, we had a slide show which gives visitors an idea of what we have been up to all the time we worked together. In a second slideshow the graphic presentation of our activities could be seen for which Ben Faydherbe was kind enough to share his talents with us.

My work consisted of two series of paintings which I still want to expand: First Malieveld Invites, the portraits I paint after walking to the Malieveld. I usually write a description of people which stand out to me after a walk on saturday-morning. After the weekend I paint the portraits on in oil paint on a A4 leaf of stone paper. The second series is put together of paintings I make of diary notes, in this case notes from Provence. It is called Sentiers d’été.

Central in the space was a sculpture which we conceived as a participatory project under the title The Fury: visitors were invited to take part in this work. We tried to build it up to be a collective effort, which is what EX-MÊKH always believed in: exhibiting is collaborating with eachother and with our visitors. During the opening and the two days after visitors and EX-MÊKH already worked enthousiastically on the project . Underneath you will find an impression of the exhibition.
