Joey Bocciardo & Fenna Miedema & Nancy Keizer & Jessica van Halteren & Georgy Dendoe & Tirino Yspol

Designers Jessica van Halteren (Mulas Hybrid Haus), Georgy Dendoe (SUMIBU) and Tirino Yspol (Smibsaland) joined forces with cartoonist Joey Bocciardo, artist Fenna Miedema and Frans Bauer impersonator and dolphin lover Nancy Keizer. Together they developed New Straccia Town – a Manga-inspired universe, where everything revolves around power, including a dictator, a general and rebels. Riots are coming!

The characters Joey and Georgy created for the story wear the most amazing outfits, which Jessica turned into real, wearable garments. Ceramic swords, custom socks, Nancy’s poems, and Fenna’s floral prints: every detail is meticulously detailed. Joey and Fenna both work at Atelier de Witte Olifant in Almere.

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.
