Onomatopoietica of the kiss
At Super Book Saturday at Onomatopee I have screened a one minute video. You see me producing several different kiss sounds in my studio. My performance is related to my 'hard to take' experience that during my 8 month residency in Chongqing my muse never allowed me to give her a kiss on her cheek. The video is on view on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/337504913 The artist Mickey Yang interviewed me about my concept "China girl" in relation to my recent project and performances in Xiamen, China. She's a young talented artist and my mentor in a reverse mentoring project supported by the Mondriaan Fund.

A visitor reading my new book About Chess Qizi 棋子。 This publication on our performance at CEAC, is printed in Xiamen. I have received a grant International Presentation from the Mondriaan Fund to present my work at AMNUA, Nanjing and to publish this book. Also supported by Fonds Kwadraat. The rumors about our performance gave rise to this publication. The performance is not an advocacy of sexual harassment. On the contrary I seem more likely to fail as a domineering macho. The three drawings on display in this group show are expressing a 'male inability'.

We also screened a documentary film with an interview of Lin Yihan who wrote the novel Fang Siqi's first Paradise. It's about sexual harassment by her teacher and she's fallen in love with her rapist. It's the last interview before she committed suicide.

During my winter residency (one month) at the Institute For Provocation I've composed the song A Blink of Pink which I sung accompanied by guitarist Li De. Halfway the song the music stops and I began to dance with Monika Mariaca while singing "A Blink of Pink". I met Monika the night before in the Temple-bar, which is located in the neighborhood of the Heizhima Hutong.

The maid Golden 1b
In Beijing at the shop my 300 grams paper seems too thick to create a handscroll. I will continue on thin rice paper, exciting because my pressure with a coloured pencil is strong and I make the rice paper totally wet to use water-colour. And is it possible to remove it from the panel? I had already problems with the thick Fabriano Artistico paper.

Recensie 'O Muze!' Dagblad Trouw
In landelijk dagblad Trouw, 23/06/15,schreef Joke de Wolf de recensie DE MAGIE VAN DE MUZE. Over mijn tekening 'Burnt home 2' is de volgende passage te lezen : Maar lang niet altijd ontstaat een muze uit lichamelijke, intellectuele of geestelijke bewondering. Pedro Bakker (1952) nam bijvoorbeeld zijn streng katholieke moeder Afra pas als onderwerp toen hij 54 was geworden, de leeftijd waarop zij zelfmoord pleegde. Op de tekening 'Burnt home 2' staat ze te midden van het uitgebrande huis van zijn jeugd, met daarbij de tekst 'Afra als de gezegende maagd in mijn afgebrande huis'.

Lecture "Innocent images"
My lecture consisted of 5 chapters. Chapter 1: to draw autobiographically, Chapter 2: to draw fictionally Chapter 3: to draw philosophically Chapter 4: to draw politically and after the break chapter 5: to draw heavenly on my residency plan with Madame Mao as the subject. During the lecture I performed 2 songs. The lecture took place in my work studio which was crowded. The lecture was almost perfect with a projected Chinese translation done by Kinna, who also did some live translation. I hope to insert the Chinese translation of my lecture as an appendix in my book, so that a interested Chinese will have easy access to my work.
