“The corpses floating in the tank possessed the solidity and independence of consummate ‘objects.’
But those others were still moving slowly away from consciousness, traversing an ambiguous middle ground, when they were incinerated: they didn’t have time to become perfect objects. Of course we’re objects.
And pretty ingeniously put together at that. A man who’s cremated as soon as he dies never knows the sense of volume and weight, or the feeling of solidity you get when you’re an object. It sounded right to me. Death was an object. But I had only comprehended it as an aspect of consciousness. Death as an object began where consciousness ended.” - Lavish are the Dead by Kenzaburō Ōe.
Since Juri Suzuki saw her grandfather passed away in front of her, she got obsessed with how a human being shifts from a living body into an object.
This exhibition includes several events. It starts with the performance “A horse riding a tongue” from Angelo Custódio at the opening on Thursday 11th June 19:30.
Sunday afternoon, 14th June 15:00 there is a Zen meditation workshoporganised by Gioia from Zen.nl Amsterdam.
On 19th June 19:00 there is the Friday night talk “Moment” with guest speakers Lola Bezemer (visual artist/performer) and Arthur Nieuwendijk (Zen teacher). In this talk, we discuss about the “Moment” in different perspective such as Zen and artistic practice.
Through these events, which can each be understood as fragments of a bigger whole, she aims to capture the experience of transitioning from life to death.

Opening Performance
Angelo Custódio (PT) For years trained as a classical singer, Angelo explores the performative use of the voice and perverts embodied singing techniques to develop sonic encounters with the vulnerable. He urges to nourish empathic understandings of identities, with a focus on the contemporary failure of support structures towards queer bodies and bodies with disability. Angelo holds a MFA from Master of Voice, Sandberg Instituut and a BA in Classical Singing from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
Zen Meditation Workshop
Zen meditation workshop is organised by Gioia Marini from Zen.nl Amsterdam.
Please send a message for participation before.
Reservation required. Max 8 people.
Friday Night Talk “Moment”
Lola Bezemer (NL) is a visual artist and perfomer. She graduated with a BFA from the department of Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2013. Her boldly coloured performance installations create moments in which she challenges notions of spatial and social relations. In 2015 she received the Stipendium for Emerging Artists from the Mondriaan Fund. She has exhibited and performed at, among others, Art Rotterdam; Bradwolff Projects,
Amsterdam; W139, Amsterdam; Kilometre of Sculpture, Rakvere (Estonia); Studio17, Stavanger (Norway) and participated in Artist in Residency programs such as Forum Dança, Lisbon; Sowing Seeds, Udaipur (India); Superdeals, Brussels.
Arthur Nieuwendijk (NL) studied philosophy, Sanskrit and logic in Amsterdam. In 1997 he obtained his PhD on the question of the validity of logical principles. Through the practical practice of Zen, he has learned how to convert the knowledge and experiences that you gain in your life into a lived, personal insight. He has a great drive to introduce and guide others on the path of Zen on their way to a life with more peace, balance and happiness. He leads Zen.nl Amsterdam.
This project is supported by NEVERNEVERLAND, AFK Amsterdam Fonds for the Arts.
