Artist Statement
We are given the luxury of thinking for several years during art-education in a system which is not determined by grammatical, linguistic rules. We're given the opportunity to develop our own language, scale models of our understanding, modules of a game of our imagination. Meanwhile we're thinking. In a different way. Not confirming to academic standarts, or sticking to "factual" information, but we're able to combine fragments of knowledge and come up with unforeseen connections. Learning, working, thinking within visual language enables us to work with structures and systems.
Something intreagues me or draws my attention: My mother's fear of loneliness, the German parliamentary election, the absence of high quality applications for non-profit work, the flatness of the dutch art-market. As an artist I react to these needs, irritations or inspirations by proposing a structure, that will answer to what intreagues me. Producing a software, designing a public campaign for friendship, fighting boredom with daycodes, making exhibitions, a mini-welfare state?
Artists ideas concerning our society might be essential in our way of thinking together about a complex social structure which undergoes crucial changes.
