What My Hands Know

Group show curated by Charlotte Eta Mumm & Sara Bjarland. With: Helen Dowling, Alex Farrar, Janina Frye, Ceel Mogami de Haas, Christine Moldrickx, Emmeline de Mooij, Charlotte Mumm, Benjamin Roth, Evita Vasiljeva, Dieke Venema.

The group exhibition centers around the work of twelve artists working and living in the Netherlands or its vicinity. The artists all have a process-based way of working where intuition, tactility, and an unconventional approach to materials are central. The title refers to embodied knowledge and to hands as a channel or translator between the internal and external world.

Address: Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam, Rokin 112, 1012 LB Amsterdam

Opening times: Tuesday - Sunday 12:00 -18:00h.

COLLECTIVE EMBROIDERY
“AU BOUT DU FIL”

CREAHM is an atelier based in Fribourg, Switzerland that offers mentally and physically disabled people the opportunity to exploit their creative talents; to work in an atelier, to exhibit and sell artwork like any other artist. Creahm invited me to collaborate with 7 artists from the CREAHM (Pascal & Guy Vonlanthen, Jean-Yves Masset, Bernard Grandgirard, Rémy Vuillème, Emilie Frosio and Géraldine Piller). We created together a giant embroidery (5.2 m long and 1.5 m wide) on an embroidery machine in St. Gallen (CH). Resulting from research into the theme of writing (“text / textile”).

The project will be exhibited Fribourg in Septermber 2023.

Book: RADICAL FASHION EXERCISES

I am happy to be part of the book: Radical Fashion Exercises. The book contains a copious collection of bottom-up activities, prompts, and workshops designed by contributors (from all around the globe), who explore fashion in an extended field. Designers, curators, artists, educators, fashion practitioners, DIY home sewers, students, and other creatives responded to the book’s open call with contributions that challenge how to practice fashion and reflect on its systems, politics and economics.

The book will be part of Valiz’sSpring/Summer 2023 release, exciting!
