Who would have thought — a show in one of the EU headquarters nowadays. And this is despite the fact that my European residence permit has recently expired while I wait (still…) for long-awaited permanent residency — which for the time being renders my travels across the EU somewhat semi-legal.

Meanwhile, what used to be homeland is taken over by fascist regimes. In light of that, I’d wish that “being European” was more about sharing a certain set of values, rather than just fulfilling the criteria of a bureaucratic backend. I hope we’re heading there.

I’m happy to be showing Content Aware Studies as part of the S+T+ARTS exhibition at DG Connect.

Massive thanks to my studio-mate Artem Konevskikh for his help with the setup, and to Nicolas Wierinck for putting this group show together — filled with some truly brilliant work.
