In 2004 I moved to a little house in the forest in the south west of Sweden From the buzz of international town Amsterdam. This is the moment that I started painting for real, to me it was a new fresh challenge.

Some of my installations are shown below. 

Most of my installations are made in the Netherlands and I used the alter ego name of Doctor Broadcast.

2003 Artis in den Bosch.

A big installation where I was busy with the aesthetics of  the art form, being relaxed and searching for a expression as close to the fact that the build up of a installation most of the time looks better then the final representation.

In 1993 I made my first bigger installation in a project room at Gerrit Rietveld academie, Amsterdam, NL. Textile suspended by threads.I wanted to comment the transition of the "town" going from a place where we got together to avoid threats of animals, to being able to protect wealth, to our time where a town foremost is a place for inebriation and sexual opportunity.
