DISCOVERY OF THE WELL-KNOWN (2013)
The book Discovery of the well-known guides the reader through several enlargements of my paintings from the serie Typology of an ideal landscape. From a detail to the whole and back. Just as it is required to observe the paintings closer and step away from them in order to experience the work.

For ArtEZ University of the Arts Zwolle I am co-ordinator of a project-based curriculum for Art&Design students. It is based on three projects each year:

I. SUMMERLAB
METAMORFOSE (2021), PREPPEN (2020), BODYBUILDING (2019), PLANTS (2018), DROPPING (2017), WALKING (2016), ITHAKA (2015).
An interdisciplinary project in which approximately 100 participants travel through The Netherlands. The participants are accompanied by artists or designers.

II. WINTERLAB
An interdisciplinary project in which approximately 400 students work on topical issues in society.

III. BERLIN
Co-ordination and programming day and evening program in Berlin.

Researcher and writer Marlies van Hak invited me to work as ‘critical friend’ on an educational program at the Radboud Honours Academy Nijmegen. This interdisciplinary Science meets Art Honourslab was coordinated by culture coordinator & lecturer Martijn Stevens. It consisted of a series of workshops and discussions at cultural venues. As ‘critical friends’ we reflected on embodied learning, educational tracks and entanglement of artistic and theoretical domains. The collaboration with Radboud University, participating students and Marlies van Hak – as critical friends – gave new insights in collaborating, conversing and reflecting on educational processes. We proposed several interventions and curated a closing event through a performative exercise and discussion for the Honourslab community.

Meeting landscapes from an artistic and philosophical perspective through on-site encounters is the main focus of Buro Ruimte Rondom. At a time when digitization becomes increasingly dominant, we feel it is relevant to offer alternative ways of meeting people and matter. We obviously relate to our environment, such as the city in which we live or the forest where we take walks. But how can we build sustainable and equally valuable connections? What we encounter on a small scale at a set moment, will possibly provide an entry to examining and reinventing larger contexts. By exploring local phenomena and personal testimonies, by being present and engaging in dialogue, by collectively experiencing apparently hidden structures, we seek to give voice to the human and non-human that cannot always speak for itself. That is, not in words.
