A life changing experience | Edwin Stolk | 2011-
Saturday 22 January Edwin Stolk organized the action/happening "A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE" at 3 pm at the entrance of De Appel. He invited people to create together a queue from the pay desk inside De Appel, to the sidewalk outside. Between 3 pm till 3.30 pm nobody entered he museum, after that everybody went his/her own way [flash mob]. The happening is a reaction on governmental ideas that visitor ratings are going to decide if a museum is important. In the same time the happening created a lived connection between the art institute and the public space. Art, art institute, connected by a lived art experience with the public opinion over art by a large part of a potential audience. The call was, tell everybody about the happening and join the queue. Because everybody knows, an action like this only has its effect when a lot of people participate!

Identity 2.0 as a neologism_the next generation of Identity (2009)-
Identity 2.0 as a neologism_the next generation of Identity (2009) part of the exhibiton PYMK, curated by Hester Scheurwater.
Artist statement:
I am a radical phenomenologist, a subjective terrorist, a situationist and material actionist.
As a contemporary warrior it is my aim to search on all possible levels for a predefined experience. The idea of a fixed 'time - space' I leave behind and I react on the dominant role the 'knowing' has in our thinking and our culture. My temporary interventions create possibilities to investigate our awareness and acceptation of reality. These works, situations, are trajectories rather than destinations. Its aim is in the First place to generate experience instead of the intellectual 'knowing' of the work.

The fundamental obstacle | 2010-
The sense of constructing situations is to fulfill human primitive desires and pursue a superior passional quality.
