\nThe Planets (2005, 1MB, 1:07 min.)<\/a><\/p>\n

Toine Klaassen<\/a> draws attention to the poetry of the unsightly, the small,
\nand neglected. He collects discarded objects from his surroundings
\nwith no predetermined plan, and subsequently uses these in his work.
\nOften the work is created in the presence of the public
\nin a performance setting, in which he makes no attempt
\nto avoid the absurd.
\nOr as Klaassen himself states:
\n“If you catch a butterfly in your hands the powder on its
\n wings will brush off leaving just a tattered rag.”<\/em>
