Dear friends,
 |
I am a Dutch artist and I need a place to paint I Will Win “9” in Washington DC. I Will Win “9” is my ninth I Will Win painting of 33 x 20 ft. for the New York City Marathon.

Mile 20
Since 2005 I transform each year Mile 20 (Bronx side of the Willis Av. Bridge) into a gallery for my latest I Will Win painting in order to show my new painting for 6 to 7 seconds to the approximately 48,000 participants running the NYC Marathon and the 260 million people in 126 countries who are watching the NYC Marathon on television.
American Dream
My goal to achieve 6 to 7 seconds of fame never happened. That’s why I return every year with a new I Will Win painting (industrial acrylic paint on a canvas) of 33 x 20 ft to realize my American Dream. Normally I paint it in the Netherlands, this year I want to paint I Will Win in Washington DC.
Washington DC
Due to Sandy I show I Will Win – The Elections last year in front of the White House and I really loved my stay in Washington DC and that’s why I want to paint I Will Win “9” in DC.
2005-2012
Untill now I unveilled the following 8 amazing paintings:
| I Will Win (2005)  |
The News (2006)  |
The Statue (2007)  |
The Runner (2008)  |
| The History (2009)  |
The Creation (2010)  |
The Crisis (2011)  |
The Elections (2012)  |
What I need
– I need a place for 3-4 weeks in October
– A floor of 33 x 20 feet (to lay down the painting)
– Electricity to light the painting at night
– Extra natural light and a toilet would be great
Thanks for you help!
