Real fake AAA+ quality, very good value purchase!

We have all encountered a description like this on a web site like AliExpress or eBay, a real fake designer item. But why do people purchase these products? Do they prefer a champagne taste on a beer budget, or does there lay more behind all of this? Marin Hondebrink and Joyce Overheul joined their forces and plastic gold chains to transfer their love for kitsch and fake designer brands into a grand, all-encompassing installation. Take a dive in a bath of abstract wall objects and traditionally made fake treasures.

The artists both question in their own way the quality and exclusivity of an object. Does it have something to do with a brand or a type of material? Or both? Exclusivity can’t be obtained easily, making an effort pays off in visiting the exhibition.

The eager and motivated visitor could even win a prize…

De muren hebben oren

Adriënne Verburg

"De benen nemen" (to take to one's legs/to bolt)—why do we say it that way? Instead of just saying "I'm leaving"? At the same time, people are judged if they don't speak "correct" Dutch. We accept all sorts of crazy proverbs, yet a tiny grammatical error can sometimes be enough to dismiss someone.I am fascinated by how we communicate with one another. How we take it for granted. How words follow rules, how objects communicate with us, and how we, in turn, interpret them. And then there are those proverbs, which often describe things whose meaning is no longer literal at all. Do we truly understand each other, or is that not the case and are we just pretending? In my work, I look for the confusion within proverbs sometimes by depicting them literally, sometimes by changing something small about them.
