2008
Open studio's - Rijsakademie amsterdam quote NRC 27/11/2008 "Sarah van Sonsbeeck bekleedde een ruimte van top tot teen met piepschuim,een soort stiltekamertje. Wanneer je even verderop haar atelier betreedt, begrijp je waar haar fascinatie voor de stilte vandaan komt. Ingelijst aan de muur hangt daar een fascinerend briefje aan haar buren. 'Ik heb berekend dat jullie herrie 80% van mijn huis inneemt', schrijft Van Sonsbeeck daarin. 'Ik verzoek jullie daarom vriendelijk om een evenredig deel van de huur te betalen.' Jammer, dat het antwoord van de herriemakers er niet naast hangt."
