Arjan is always looking for ways to positively fascinate people in the public space and challenges visitors to participate in this experience.
All installations created by Arjan Kruidhof are a combination of recycling former stage sceneries and remains of an industrial era. The artist collects materials from scrap and reuses them in an unconventional way.  

” This is the perfect “cradle-to-cradle” way of making art”

The Relaxerette is an installation in response to our increasingly volatile society and asks the visitor “what do you need to come to yourself”. In this way he gives the visitor a moment of conciusness to reflect on life.

The MINI Relaxerette is an installation for the public space which takes the visitors on a journey in it’s own environment. This small version of the Relaxerette opens doors for Arjan to provide a stage and enter into collaborations with artists and projects with organizations: ceating a fitting installation-performance for the audience and the public space.
