art in public space

I am currently working on the initial stages of several art in public space commissions in the Netherlands. The projects connect art, design, heritage and history, mobility, community, landscape and urban planning. In 2023-2024 I was one of the organisers and mediators of the art project BUILD!, in which six emerging artists created new large outdoor pieces for the public space of Lage Weide business park in Utrecht. They reflected on topical issues in the area, such as sustainability, and worked with local materials and entrepreneurs. The works were on show in autumn 2024 at Lage Weide, Utrecht, and in the summer of 2025 at the sculpture biennial ARTZUID in Amsterdam.

RESEARCH

In 2020/2021 I lived in Barcelona, where I researched the life and oeuvre of the Spanish Catalan twentieth century artist and designer Jordi Fornas (1927-2011) for a private client. My independent research focusses on Spanish art in Dutch (museum) collections, such as Spanish informalism, for example of Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012), in the context of the international political relations at the time. In general, research is part of many of my projects.

events

I co-organised Vuelta//Arte, an event related to La Vuelta Holanda, connecting the Spanish and Dutch art worlds. The event took place 17-18-19 June 2022, in Utrecht, Breda and Den Bosch. In this project, I worked together with artist-in-residence platform Witte Rook and Stedelijk Museum Breda. 

gallery & Fair assistant

I worked for Galerie Sanaa, Gallery O-68 and Tableau Magazine as art fair assistant and gallery host. I also worked as gallery assistant and art advisor at the art loan Kunstuitleen Utrecht.

Collection management

For QKunst I work with art collections of companies and government bodies. This involves the collection inventory and registration, organizing the depots, creating exhibitions and presentation concepts at the offices, researching the collection, writing (exhibition) texts and giving tours. Clients are or have been: Rabobank, Wageningen University, Delft University, the Province of Zuid-Holland, KPN, Nationale Nederlanden, the municipality of Amersfoort, among others.

review committee

In 2024 I was a member of an independent committee regarding the membership for professional visual artists of contemporary art space Kunstgarage Franx in Zoetermeer, NL. In several meetings, the candidates' work was discussed with fellow art professionals.

art guide & Speaker

I give art tours, host openings, moderate and speak on the occasion of exhibitions and other presentations and projects.
