The Book 2023 Flipping through Everything but the kitchen sink

The Book 2023

The Book 2023 is finally finished after working a couple of years on our art project: Everything but the Kitchen Sink

In this video we share a quick flip through the 112 pages of our book. It’s filled with art made with plastics by Mimi Berlin from Amsterdam

Everything but the Kitchen Sink / Alles behalve het keuken aanrecht / Alles Außer der Spüle

‘Everything But The Kitchen Sink’ is een serie portretten in de faux-naif stijl,
gecreëerd met afgedankte producten: voornamelijk gemaakt van plastic.

Onderzoek voor dit project naar ‘vergeten early-plastic producten’ heeft geleid
tot een reeks abstracte objecten en figuratieve 3D portretten in vriendelijke kleuren.
Uiteraard zijn de kunstwerken gemaakt van allerlei soorten plastic; bakeliet, celluloid,
rubber……. Noem maar op: Everything But The Kitchen Sink!

I See Faces, I made this Face

We, at Mimi Berlin, have been away from our blog for over a year. we need to update you, our readers, on what we’ve been up to all this time. Well, amongst other things, and in a nutshell; we created faces.

The faces made by Mimi Berlin

All these faces are contstructed with plastic. Discarded plastic, early plastics….from Tupperware to…..well, everything but the kitchen sink.

Sammelwut is a German term; literally translated into English as collectors rage. But it rather means the deep urge to collect stuff. As you know we, at Mimi Berlin, are almost professional collector’s, also our objects are made of what we collect. Rob Geertman, the owner of the Sammelwut store chose a number of Faces, made by us, to showcase at Sammelwut. Sammelwut we love that word and we are very pleased that our work can be found at this art and interior store in Nijmegen.

“Sammelwut is the store in Nijmegen for lovers of contemporary art and a stylish and modern interior. In our store you will find a varying range of artworks combined with an inspiring collection of home accessories.”

Happy Customers

Mimi Loves Happy Customers

It’s always wonderful if somebody loves your work enough to purchase it. That happend with our nude selfportrait the other day. We made an artwork for the exhibition Reflection in Time” initiated by Nannet van der Kleijn at Bradwolff projects in Amsterdam. @maritsatelier framed the canvas we created and it looks goog, in our opinion.
