Mothership wins the National Events Award, in the Innovation category!
With the remembrance of the Bombardment Periphery on 14 May 2007, Mothership won the Innovation prize.

Sculpture garden Tessloo
It is such a remarkable duo, the ceramic sculpture “Lady and her dwarf” by Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk (a.k.a. Cirque de Pepin). At the opening, this June, the duo was received well by everyone that was present. Galery Majke Hüsstege once again asked Mothership to nominate an artist for the outdoor exhibitions. It is the incredible detail in Pepijn's work that makes it so fascinating. more
