BIOGRAPHY
Pyramid of Makkum

Jurgen Bey

Royal Tichelaar Makkum

Dutch designer Jurgen Bey created a highly complex Pyramid. The work can be displayed in two ways, as a cohesive vertical "pyramid" of stacked buckets, or when disassembled and arranged in their accompanying crates as cabinet filled with individual curiosities. It is a remarkable well thought our and well engineered work of art. The use of "buckets" are meant to allude to the lowered status of the vase in contemporary culture. In the time when the "Traditional Pyramid" was created a vase was a highly sought after and prized item while in today's age of mass production the vase is commonplace, nothing more than a vessel. The surfaces of the buckets are filled with reliefs and detail of symbols of communication. We see sign language, satellites, number sequences and brail. Methods of communication provide us with a conduit or bridge for the mixing of cultures such as that which was the catalyst for the "Traditional Flower Pyramid" in its day.
