This kite was made by @thankswillem x @scheltensabbenes “sold sign” for uncompleted yet already purchased apartments. In Amsterdam, the large majority of newly built homes are sold before completion. Based on promises in the form of renders and floor plans, buyers effectively purchase a defined volume of air, trusting a building will soon be constructed around it. Selling Air (2025) has been on view at @museumvoorlinden during the @_kite_club_ exhibition last summer alongside kites by @anouksbeckers , @abelmanbroer , @scheltensabbenes and @bertjanpot among others. Filmed on location at Buikslotermeer and NDSM–werf by @thankswillem

@75b_official 🪁Always interesting exhibitions at @kunsthal Rotterdam🪁✨During his life, Malcolm Goodman collected more than 500 kites while traveling through over 50 countries. Together with his wife Jeanette, he bought an old bed & breakfast in Middleton-in-Teesdale, England, with the dream of transforming it into a kite museum. Room after room filled up with extraordinary kites—but sadly, permission to open the museum was never granted due to fire safety regulations. Luckily, the story didn’t end there. Our friends from the Dutch kite club—Scheltens&Abbenes, Bertjan Pot and Peter Hebbing—together with curator Charlotte Martens made this remarkable collection a traveling exhibition. Its first stop: Rotterdam 🪁❤️ 🎏 And it’s absolutely worth a visit.> go see for yourself! Till August 30th 🪁 @_kite_club_ @scheltensabbenes @kites_of_the_hebbing_family @bertjanpot @charliecoolest #malcolmgoodman #thekiteman #kunsthal #kunsthalrotterdam 📸 @marcodeswart @fred_ernst @scheltensabbenes
