The travels of the 'Anne is (not) dead' table

I was asked to make an antique table into art for Dutch Art Collaboration.
Because I'm already working on a project about death, I decided to make a table that would make me very sad.
So I made a little sculpture of what my friend Anne would look like if she were dead. I gave her a coffin, her cat Donald, and some pages from my diary I wrote about her. The proces made me cry, which I think is good, because I believe that if I feel something when I work, other people tend to feel it too.




Okay so now for all the table-news!

Pictures of the table are on my website.

The making of can be found on the Menah facebook page.

The table is for sale at the Dutch Art Collaboration webshop.

It was first shown at Alquilar, Utrecht,

then at Pop Up Store, Utrecht,

and now it's been selected to go and inhabit  GoGallery, Amsterdam until january. I'll keep you posted on how that goes and the paths the table is going to be taking in the future. xxx!
