BIO
As a visual artist I bring together practice and reflection, using installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects to question how art might create space for shared experience and ethical thought. 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), and I work collectively as part of YAFF. Workshop
Welcome
to the Weird and the Dirty
Workshop in collaboration with Rob Leijdekkers, Sebastian Olma
Is your reflex to avoid what is weird, messy, or slightly dirty? In this workshop, we create a panorama in which we pay attention to what is usually seen as too strange or too filthy. To arrive at a more nuanced worldview, we need to acknowledge that we are not merely virtuous beings, and that the dominant moral voice leaves little room for doubt and contradiction. Can we imagine a world in which vices are allowed to make themselves known as part of a search for a better world? In this workshop, we work towards a new panorama in which our vices and virtues are brought to life through hand puppets, with aesthetic precision and imaginative force.
This workshop has been presented at, among others, the following events:
