CV
BIO
I am a visual artist, lecturer and researcher. I teach in the Art & Research programme (since 2021) and Photography, Film & the Digital (since 2023) 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 a member of the art collective YAFF and the art alliance The Long Tail of Art.
My artistic practice centres on the relationship between art, shared experience and ethical reflection. Through installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects, I develop situations in which artistic practice creates space for collective inquiry into current dilemmas in art, education and society, and the assumptions and reflexes that shape them. I hold a background in Fine Arts (cum laude, St. Joost School of Art & Design) and Applied Ethics (MA, Utrecht University).

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.
