Anemoon Fokkinga & Gert Wessels

After working with Ateliers De Wijde Doelen in Utrecht for years, 19 year old Anemoon Fokkinga decided to set up her own practice and work under her own name, alongside her mother. Next to her collaboration with Rik Laging, Anemoon has been working with designer Gert Wessels, whom she met through No Limits! Art Castle. As a designer, Gert seeks to find the boundaries between functionality and function. Together, they have also been looking for each other’s boundaries, resulting in a series of exquisite toilet seats that will make sure nobody ever wants to buy a boring seat at their local hardware store: our buttocks desever better.

The Grand Palace of Everyone

In collaboration with No Limits! Art Castle

Curator
  • Heske ten Cate & Jan Hoek

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 Everyonerolls 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.
