Freedom / Vulnerability, 2012
A marriage between Christian Albert Lucien van der Kaap, born 25.04.2989 in Enschede and Marina Elenskaya, 07/16/1983 born in Krasnodar, Russia in the English Reformed Church of the Begijnhof in Amsterdam 11.00 gather, 11.30 service
Making public that I was going to marry my girlfriend, people in my surrounding responded to telling us they wanted to be a part of it. A strange reaction in our opinion, because isn't marriage usually a bond between two people? Is the public present not merely a witness and apart from that share no active role in this. Why then their spontaneous reaction? I can only say how much I appreciate it and how it has inspired me as an artist to look at what this commitment means. How can our intimate promise inspire a community?
The 5th of may, Dutch liberation day it will be about belonging. Behind the busy Spui square, we will join in the Begijnhof to gather in silence. We let others speak, present and play to help us shape our intimate bond. It’s about freedom and vulnerability.

Leer, 2011
As a succession to the SOLO project I visited Florence, Italy with the plan to make a fine leather apron with a craftsman. Accepting it as a gift I promised to commit myself to making again. I got captivated by the craft and the transformation of leather over time. I decided to order two 'identical' aprons. One made for wearing, the other for presenting.

It's a pity he's ugly, otherwise I'd marry him
During the presentation of your work in a group, there are always works you hate or are ashamed of sharing the same space with. Sometimes it is the space itself that destroys your work completely. Willy-nilly, you learn to make your work so that it can withstand this inevitable evil. In this exhibition, artist entrusted the presentation of their work to their fellow artists. From this grows a love relationship from which something is created that no longer is fully part of them. Amid the (fertile) voltage between curating and creating, these works are exhibited.
