‘comic-like frivolity’ (with lots of boobs) is how I would describe ‘american chateau’, a showcase of work by nienke klunder and jaime hayon which opened at spring projects – spring house earlier this month. it’s all about the sausages.
‘the rocking hot dog’
‘holly on caramel marble table’

maastricht
