Guests:
Orlando Maaike Gouwenberg is a curator, initiator and producer based in the Netherlands. She is the general director of Sonsbeek. In 2022 she was co-curator of the Dutch Pavilion of the 59th Venice Biennial, supporting Melanie Bonajo’s installation ‘When the body says Yes.’ She was also artistic director of Jester, Genk, Belgium in 2022. Gouwenberg specialises in working with artists to extend their practices into new territory and has often been involved in interdisciplinary projects that bring together contemporary art, film and theatre. She has worked on exceptional large-scale projects with LAS, Berlin; If I Can’t Dance Its Not My Revolution; Amsterdam; Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam, and Performa, New York. She also has long term collaborations with a number of artists.
Hilde de Bruijn is the director of Into Nature. She was the senior curator at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art, Amstelveen and a freelance curator and advisor in contemporary art. She is the author of the blog www.hildegoesasger.org , a result of a research into the writing and thinking of Asger Jorn (1914-1973). The research involves contemporary artists and other cultural mediators and is a starting point to discuss issues surrounding contemporary artistic and discursive practices. Hildegoesasger included a series of public sessions at various locations, such as the Athens Biennale; Statens Museum, Copenhagen; Casco - Bureau for Art, Design and Theory, Utrecht; CCS Bard, New York and Wiels in Brussels.
Priscila Fernandes is a visual artist and educator living and working in the Netherlands. Together with Edward Clydesdale Thomson, she is the Head of Department of the Bachelor of Fine Arts BEAR (Base for Experiment Art and Research) at ArtEZ, Arnhem. Priscila Fernandes' work – installations, painting, photography, books – is rooted in an ongoing research into education, play, and the dialectics of work and leisure. Through a speculative and fictional approach, her work raises concrete questions about the idea of individual and collective freedom, especially in the context of the widespread precariousness of work in our society.
Edward Clydesdale Thomson is a visual artist wandering through forests, heaths or gardens, sailing on seas and brooks, by boat, by raft or digitally, deep into history and creating visions of the future.
