Performance A Blink Of Pink in Amsterdam
A Blink of Pink is more than a solo exhibition of my recent drawings and new hand scroll at Witteveen Visual Arts, it's also the title of a song that I sung Saturday February the 10th, together with some David Bowie Songs, especially China Girl.

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.

Performance Goatfucker at the Fries Museum
After the presentation of the Gerrit Benner Award I did my performance the goatfucker at the Fries Museum. In one room of my solo exhibition my giant drawing was hanging together with two study drawings woman in her period and Theo van Gogh fucking a she-goat. For the first time my supergiant drawing was on display and in this room I did my performance. A video and photo report of this performance is on view on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/255264081

First complete Handscroll
When you roll out the handscroll you can read the story from right to left. The scroll is 4.80 meter and traditionally made in a quality shop in Beijing. Here lying on the long table in IFP common studio, but can be carried in a small beautiful box from Song Dynasty.

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.

De titel heeft filmmaker Adele Myers bedacht. Ik had haar uitgenodigd om deel te nemen aan mijn presentatie op het DAC. Ze kwam helemaal uit UAE waar ze les geeft en toonde haar poëzie films. Ze gaf ook een workshop en toen ontstond het idee om met filmmaker Yu Jie een poëzie film te maken.

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.
