more about the proposal:
Ich bin ein amsterdammer "This tile refers in first instance to the souvenir seen through the eyes of a cliché- flat- a remark, nothing less nothing more. Beside that I wanted to make a low-price piece and easy to handle. This tile was made for the 3924 Germans who emigrated to Amsterdam and 16931 ethnical Amsterdam Germans." (Coming up in the near future a foto commentary in living-rooms with the tile of course; from above described people) Ontegenzeglijk (incontestable,undeniable,unquestionable) "Strongly autobiographic souvenir; visualizing myself in an old peoples home, with this brick as my last "weapon" Ode to my father who owned a brickfactory. Also made for the lovessake for the dutch language and the humor to see the face of the customs officer when he gets told that this is a souvenir from Holland." other proposals False implant "This souvenir finds her origin in the falsification of the myth which is a grateful subject used on souvenirs ( think about the young boy who saved holland from the dikebreak simply by sticking his finger into it). Like the Surinam people put a golden "slide" tooth in before going out dancing- likewise the dutch farmer wears a tooth with a golden cow printed on it while the train travels through the green dutch landscape with golden cows in it."
