BIO

I am a Dutch artist whose practice combines making and thinking. Through installations, essays, and collaborative projects, I explore how art can open space for ethical reflection and collective experience. Alongside my practice I teach at St. Joost School of Art & Design and conduct research at the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (CARADT). I am also part of YAFF, an artists’ collective.

The Blame Game
Board game, table, chairs

(2023)


Global climate change is an ever more significant factor in our lives. Glaciers are shrinking, animal species face extinction, and increasingly violent storms rage across land and sea.  But who is responsible? Or what is responsible? And most importantly, where can we place the blame? In this game, multiple perspectives are combined to explore these abstract questions. It is your task to solve the question “Who’s to blame?!” within the fictional Blame.inc office.

This work was part of Expoplu Exchange, a programme organised by Expoplu in Nijmegen, created in collaboration with Stan Gonera, Koen Kiviets, Kurina Sohn, and Oscar Ekkelboom.

Within this exhibition, we explored our collaboration as a temporary company. Inspired by a five-day workweek, we organised a board meeting, job interviews, and a Friday afternoon social event during the five days of the exhibition.
