Remco Torenbosch, ‘EU’ (2011-2014)
An investigation into the history and production of the blue flag of the European Union designed by Arsène Heitz and Paul Lèvy in 1955. The presentation shows a collection of textile fabrics made in the European blue color code by the still existing weaving mills in the European Union. Although the color code for the EU flags is mandated, because of the differing production processes in each country and at each mill, it can still vary, resulting in a wide diversity of blue tints, as seen in this collection.

‘My Sneakers’ (2001) by Michael Blum
“In August 1999, I purchased a pair of Nike sneakers in Paris. Two years later, I would travel them back to where they came from – Indonesia, according to the label – and try to learn more about them.”

Meewisse travelled to the woods in the most eastern part of the Netherlands, where he chopped down a lot of trees. The wood harvested in the forest was taken home to produce a variety of construction materials.
