Kiwi artist Stephen Bain in Groningen, the Netherlands

August 2008

Groningen
This was fun... meeting Stephen Bain, a Kiwi artist who's traveling around the world in his cute Kiwi cottage. We took a 'buzzy bee' with us.
Stephen's cute cottage was a real crowd pleaser... kids and big kids (like us)...

 

Baby, where are the fine things you promised me? gently invites the public to reflect on the lost utopia of the quarter-acre block. Based on one of the country's earliest models for simple houses for the working class, Baby where...? is somewhere between installation and street performance. The house changes location every day, mysteriously appearing in the city's financial district one day and on the waterfront the next. Curious visitors are amazed to discover that the house is occupied ship-in-a-bottle style by a man who plays music, cooks or shares a cup of tea with passers-by.
