    Omicron, Schmomicron – I’m going to OBJECT Rotterdam 2022!

    by Patrick Kooiman January 8, 2022

    Why, oh why, oh why, can’t the world go back to normal? I am in AGONY, tossing and turning in bed, wondering whether this year’s edition of OBJECT Rotterdam will actually happen. The latest news is that yes, it actually is. But then again, who would have thunk last year that…

    OBJECT Rotterdam comes roaring back – an interview with curator Anne van der Zwaag

    I’m so excited… and I just can’t hide it! Just like everything in life, OBJECT Rotterdam comes roaring back this summer after an unfortunate delay due to you-know-what. I’m not exaggerating if I say that OBJECT is my favorite design event of the year. It’s cutting edge, compact and gives a perfect…

    Object Rotterdam 2018 – the morning after

    by Patrick Kooiman February 10, 2018

    Do you know what I like best about design exhibitions like Object Rotterdam? The morning after! I go through all the photos I’ve taken and as I drink at least five cups of coffee, I read all the websites of the designers whose work I’ve seen. For me, it’s the only…

    Art Rotterdam 2022- Ten Bold and Beautiful Artworks to Look Out For

    by Patrick Kooiman May 18, 2022

    It is a FACT that time goes by more quickly when you get older – this is true because I read about it somewhere once even though I forgot where that was but can’t be bothered right now to look it up. The theory is that basically a year is a…

    Big Art 2020 – the Highlights (and Yes, I Know I’m Six Months Late)

    by Patrick Kooiman March 8, 2021

    Remember when going to an art exhibition was normal? Well, neither do I. After one year of living in a world dominated by the C-word, I’ve more or less forgotten about everything that we once took for granted. And it’s not that I *just* realized this. In fact, I distinctly remember…

    by Patrick Kooiman October 15, 2020

    First you pass Antwerp and then it’s a whole lot of nothing until you get to the border at Lille.  Let’s face it, that’s how the Dutch experience driving to France. What about Ghent, I hear exactly no one ask? After all, Ghent is the shy wallflower along the highway you…
