As our inaugural run at PAN Amsterdam has now concluded, we take a moment to reflect on what an incredible run this has been, a marathon really.

Booth 23, which served as the central stage for countless moments of elated trade, discovery and inspiration, has now been completely dismantled, along with the entirety of Hall 8.

Our precious cargo is now crated, wrapped up and carefully packed away in our secured storage facility, pending deliveries across The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain.

Still, echoes from that particular wrinkle in time continue to reverberate across the empty corridors, like cohorts of friendly ghosts bouncing off the bare striped walls of the RAI Convention Center, but perhaps more so inside the castle of my own mind, where each is fast morphing into cherished memories.

I find myself in a liminal space of sorts. Already stepping right into the staging of our follow up group exhibition, forward and onward, yet not fully ready to let go either.

They say do not dwell in the past. You’re only as good as your next win. I say linger with me for a while longer, throughout the meanderings of space and time…and let us remember that there was joy immeasurable and profound meaning in harvest here.

Thank you PAN AMSTERDAM⚡️🪐💫❤️🔥🦾
See you next year!

Meanwhile the second part of our group exhibition is about to unfold back at the gallery.
