Opening on the 29th of May: AK47 in Artspace Flipside, Eindhoven!

Here I will show you the satin rifle I made, of which you could see a work-in-progress photo a couple blog posts earlier.

Some text from the press release:

The Kalashnikov is an iconic weapon. The silhouette is very recognizable, particularly due to the curved
magazine at the bottom. The efficiency and the ability to use it in almost all circumstances, makes the AK 47
a global symbol. Images abound from child soldiers to freedom fighters parading and posing for photos with
this machine gun. It has found its way onto flags and tattoos. Through its recognition, the image also serves
as a symbol against the established order. Time for reflection and discussion. How does an artist deal this
symbol?
