"Kids think that cereals are a side product of the toy you find in the box and that luncheon meat grows on trees in slices, with a clown face on it," said Marije Vogelzang at the opening of her first solo exhibition, Fuel, at Mama in Rotterdam from May 21 to July 6. The gallery transformed half the space into a refrigerator to accommodate for the delicate nature of Vogelzang's medium. Besides cuddly knitted sausages, a marshmallow mosaic, freshly baked leaves and the Dutch National Tap Water Tasting installation, the exhibition also showed sketches, videos and animations of Vogelzang's past, present and future work.
