As chairman of the Mikosa Foundation, I am responsible for all the production work and the distribution of the magazine to selected shops worldwide. Furthermore I organized retrospective shows in the Netherlands and also abroad. The event at the Carhartt Store in Amsterdam promoted the release of the actual magazine as well as the showcase of all the artists our foundation has worked with since its start. We showed all the magazines and all gadgets as the Mikosa Buttons, the Mikosa Poster Collection, the Mikosa Postcards, the Mikosa Silkscreen Prints and much more. The Retrospective tour started in Amsterdam at the local Carhartt store and went from there to Barcelona place Miscelanea and to Heimatdesign in Dortmund.
Mikosa Foundation was launched in Amsterdam in 2005 together with Morcky Galmacci, Rocco The Boghe and Francesco Lordi. As a magazine, and a platform for creative talent, our aim is simple: To combine a mix of
handcrafted, original styles for the sake of promoting a range of contemporary art: This includes graffiti, street art, web design, video installations, rough sketches, dirty drips, even scribbles. It’s about fresh ideas and originality: Versatility, creativity, and artistic vision.
