Maurice Nio
Snake Space

“The spaces on which the works of NIO architecten stand are probably the first to be somewhat surprised. The snake that traverses them and that usually enters them amidst total indifference traces an indeterminate succession of environments that tend to elude the gaze of the architect. These are faceless spaces, the ones where more institutional forms of architecture do not have the words or means to express themselves” (Marco Brizzi).

Skateboarding is one of the most vibrant and creative subcultures, encompassing not only skateboarding itself but also fashion, music, magazines, photography and dvd. The enormous creativity involved runs a close second to that of the visual arts.

Much of the creative talent in skateboarding is centred around businesses and design offices, often set up by skateboarders themselves:
Ohiogirl by Andy Mueller, Chocolate Skateboards with designer Evan Hecox, HuMobisten (Gyz la Rivière & Rufus K.) and vijf890
The VIVID exhibition shows products of these designers in combination with furniture and lamps by Nultien.
