Stijn Zeelenberg & David Paulus

David Paulus is a self-taught and self- sufficient designer. He does not conform to the standards of the mainstream fashion world with his Art-Couture. His designs are inspired by his love for art, his roots, traditions, and rituals. Presentations by David are more reminiscent of theatre pieces than classic catwalk shows, where everything is organised and taken care of by David: from location to music, from models to the choreography.

Stijn Zeelenberg has a cartoonist-like attitude towards painting, translating his open minded and humourful stories into singular images. David and Stijn have been meeting regularly at the art studio of Pastorie de Elleboog in Amersfoort. David has turned designs Stijn painted directly on fabric and paintings that were printed on fabric into wearable clothing. The resulting pieces will be presented at the opening of the exhibition in a collaborative performance with Pastorie De Elleboog.

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.
