This Space Could Be Yours (2024)

The exhibition space of The Gimp has no windows, but after drilling a hole in the outer wall one is able to see a cemetery that's located at the back of the building. After contacting the cemetery owner, the best deal for a grave seemed to start from €108,65 a year. Please keep in mind the minimum of a 20 year lease, and the organ player on the funeral is not included.

Due to sentiment, the commercial aspects of grief are often overlooked. In the exhibition Public Space For Sale, a grave in the the city center is compared to the parking spot right next to it, as taking in space comes at a cost.
