Ted Noten
Ted: 36 Years on the Move / aka Route 36

page 3 of the exhibition

“Well, welcome to my exhibition at Galerie Marzee in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands,… in Europe.

She was the first gallery who invited me with my work 36 years ago. And now I’m going to do a kind of overview of 36 years of work which is shown in these boxes and on every box there’s a year and a work which is still available to bring to your own house.”

Broken, then gold "In 2009 I started the project Haunted by 36 women, one of them was Miss Piggy.

"When I reached the age of 18, I turned my back on institutional religion, not realizing that, in the early days, the church had been the best client for us jewellery makers and craftsmen."
"The woman used the same hammer to close the paint cans for years. I fell in love with the hammer. I bought a new one - the same - and proposed to swap it with hers. She screamed with happiness - so did I."
Ted Noten, Vanitas - Lost in a Landscape, 2021
OB / OK - Otto and Onno - "syndrome" sounds too heavy, too negative, too invented. It should be replaced by the ultimate discussion between intellect and intuition."
Ted Noten, OB and OK, 2022
Homage to Gandhi - The idea is to honour him and everyone who enters my exhibition can honour him simply by turning the textile as a necklace around him!
Leonardo - the connector - This work is a homage to the genius Leonardo da Vinci. I used tools I collected in China. Calligraphic pens, which I cast in PMMA accompanied by precious stones and connected with 18k gold.
My sweetest darling ever 3/5

Freud - but why then an homage then, Ted? Well - I also discovered other wisdom in him and some of these are engraved in the aluminium
My Sweetest Piece Ever 3/5 - in the making - Stones on a beach are for free - diamonds and 24 k nuggets are not.
