In conjunction with my Guantanamo Brain exhibition, May 2-June 7, at Famous in Amsterdam (http://www.famous.nl), today a Bomb Bird has landed on a rooftop in the center (Nieuwmarkt) of Amsterdam: A new step in evolution where nature evolves trying to keep up with the human (arms) race.

Like many other species of birds this one should start migrating pretty soon and might land somewhere else on this planet in the near future. And watch out: this one is Fragile…

Dadara, Pink Tank, nighttime

Between Christmas and New Year’s Eve of 2006, I built a big pink tank, 8x8x3 metres, with four barrels on a rooftop in the centre of Amsterdam.

Everything was made prefab. I painted all the parts inside the building with a lot of friends during Christmas and then we dragged everything up the roof and assembled it as quickly as possible.
