I Was There is the project we did for the Paradiso Phone Expo. Last week the Paradiso Phone Expo was presented in the Temporary Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam during the Move It event. Ofcourse we were very happy with this.
Tonight the art event Palais Paradiso will take place in Paradiso. Especially for this event we’ve done a collaboration with the artist Dadara. Dadara will present his Exchanghibition Bank project during Palais Paradiso and the artwork he has made for I Was There is related to his project. This unique souvenir will be available for download during the event in the Paradiso building (via QR code) and on the Phone Expo website.
Besides these events Incl. is working, together with Philip Vincent Fokker, on a follow up of the I Was There project. We’ll keep you updated.
Woes was asked to be a guest curator on smileinyourface.com. He tells about Incl. and the people that inspire him; artists like John Körmeling, Thomas Widdershoven, Francis Alÿs, Gabriel Orozco, Jonathan Meese, Kraftwerk and Ai Weiwei. Read the article here.

Today we launched our website in a personal way. We delivered a Valentine’s package to a selection of friends, collaborators and (potential) clients. Each box contained a beautiful red rose and a suggestive note. The boxes were delivered by guys in tuxedos wearing special-care white gloves. So far the feedback has been very positive. And we were informed that interesting situations arose, because of the Valentine’s connotation…
