To P(art)y // A Human Pyramid Can Never Go Wrong Nor Out of Style
performance/intervention, ca 5 min

“Last summer, I got hit in the eye with the cork from a cheap bottle of cava
Still today, I have a blind spot for sparkling wine
As an expat from the Land of the Cyclops
I’m here to propose a performative toast
Navigating the intersection of art, festivity, failure, and the fragile brilliance of being alive
As we’re honouring the 750th year of Amsterdam being Amsterdam:
Cursed
[...]
As once stated by the one and only Madonna:
Art has nothing to do with money but everything to do with love
Or in the words of Halsema herself:
Kunst is een keuze
Art is a choice
Konst är ett val
So for now, let’s build a human pyramid
Because at least that’s something that can never go wrong nor out of style
To the complete expression of indestructible life
Just two guys
Shuffling
In the sunset
By the way, I’m selling my work for exactly €420
[...] ”
To P(art)y // A Human Pyramid Can Never Go Wrong, Nor Out of Style was a performative toast/opening speech, presented as part of the exhibition Boundaries of Belonging(s) at Backstage Academy during the KunstRAI art fair in Amsterdam, 2025.
