Galerie Larik

The repetitiveness of the past few years surely has taken its toll on many people. And with measures and restrictions, our space to live, play and create have been downsized to an extreme dearth. How do we process this in the new normal? How do we (re)claim our space? Ruyzdael’s co-founder, Ferry van Zijderveld, also known as @UNDOG.nl, started with this question to work on his newest project: MONOMANIA, a performance, exhibition and book that merges his background in graffiti, design and branding to a new process of (re)claiming space.

On February 24th, UNDOG will perform at @galerielarik by painting one thousand crosses on white sheets of paper with black spray paint. As meditative as it is exhausting, the aim is to “reclaim the surface” and find a new way to appreciate the process of creating.

MONOMANIA starts on February 24th at 10:00 AM at Galerie Larik in Utrecht. It will be open to the public and available to see online through a livestream at Ruyzdael.com. The exhibition will be on view at the gallery in June.

The MONOMANIA book (992 pages, hardcover, limited edition) will be available for pre-order at our website www.ruyzdael.com from February 24th.
