Mette Sterre & Jonathan de Regt

Jonathan de Regt and Mette Sterre are proud to present The Never Ending Talkshow. In this performative installation two characters, an interviewer, and their interviewee, have an endless conversation in front of a masked audience. They were inspired by traditional American talk shows like Jerry Springer and Ellen DeGeneres, in which the characteristics of guests are often enlarged to increase their ‘show factor’. Even those guests that end up acting like themselves take on a particular role. Mette and Jonathan want their talk show to be a safe space instead, where you can let your guard down, be your fluid and ever- changing self and talk it all out.

Jonathan de Regt used to work at Atelier Galerie Herenplaats in Rotterdam and tries to capture the characters of the people he meets in his drawings. Mette Sterre is a performance artist and creates full body sculptural masks.

Welcome to ‘The Grand Palace of Everyone’, a land without borders where collaboration reigns.

Together with No Limits! Art Castle (formerly known as Outsiderland) we tear down the walls between fantasy and reality, art and design, and ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ artists. Why would anyone decide who is ‘professional enough’ to enter the gates?

‘‘The Grand Palace of Everyone‘ rolls out a black and white carpet for the work of over sixty artists in 26 unique collaborations between talented and dedicated artists. Side by side they find their way in the art world and present a broad scope of collaborations in every nook and cranny of Nest. Never before have so many artists shared the space in one exhibition.
