Pietsjanke Fokkema - Utwrydsk

Utwrydsk is a genealogical research into the maternal line of the artist. On 20 November 2013, Kie Ellens, curator of contemporary art at the Fries Museum, and author of this book, visited Fokkema studio. Instead of buying a work, he proposed the small drawing Mem is yn't ljocht should be the starting point of a commission. The result, the installation with the same title as this book, Utwrydsk, was exhibited at the Fries Museum from 4 November through 31 December 2017.
