Adriana Joëlle Jochems

Through her art practice Adriana Joëlle Jochems discovers the subjects of the finite and infinite, experience of time and memories. How do we (humans) deal with everything that has happened in the past and how does it influence our being in the here and now? Why do we cherish objects from the past, and why do we hold on to something that has already been? Investigating how these objects and materials can carry the meaning of the past, she tries to get a grip on these objects and their spirits through experimentation. What happens if there are no people to fixate these objects, and what is the hierarchy between these humans and objects and materials?

Ahmad Mallah

Parents will tell their children often ‘the walls have ears’. Freedom of speech is a taboo in Syria. So, Ahmad was silent. In the bunker he captures his stories in art and language, in order to share them with people.His past in Syria is the inspiration behind the work. By painting and portraying he observes his fears. His sorrows and frustrations.He is the maker and the artwork. And even though the walls have ears, He is silent no more.

Alicia Hofstra

Alicia Hofstra (born April 15, 2003) is a textile artist and a graduate of HKU Fine Art. She lives and works in Wassenaar, where receiving the Wassenaar Culture Prize in 2020 gave her an early boost into the art world.Her installations are characterized by a strong focus on craftsmanship, technique, and detail. As an agnostic, she draws much of her inspiration from her religious upbringing, combined with the specific hyperfixations she experiences as a neurodivergent person during the creative process. These influences give rise to strange and immersive worlds that exist in the space between religion and magic—pulling the viewer out of reality and into something otherworldly.

André Ploeg

André Ploeg intervenes in public space. This can be in a street in a suburb, a dune pan in a nature reserve or on a field. The interventions are not planned in advance, he usually reacts spontaneously to what he finds somewhere. He finds the materials used on the spot and adds as little as possible.

Anna Reerds

In her work, Anna Reerds celebrates man’s craziness, ignorance, and sadness. By combining photography, scale models, film, animation and illustration, she plays with reality and thus creates a world that is very recognizable on the one hand and feels absurd on the other.‘Soelaas’ is about snackbars, laundries and public toilets. Places like this – places that radiate human loneliness in a certain way – show us that humankind is not perfect. Not that this is a bad thing: it is part of being human. We don’t have to pretend that we always eat healthy, that we are never lonely, that we have mastered life. These places comfort us.

Baoyang Zhao

Art for Baoyang Zhao is to capture the moment when a handmade cake touches their tongue, when wind, carrying the bright sunlight, touches their curtain with pink floral prints. Those meetings through their eyes or nose or hearings going into their body generate a sensorial or emotional experience. The complex experience can start from a simple scenario with a specific smell or light or sound. Zhao starts their sculpture with elements from this simple scenario to explore how it can be spoken by the sculptural language. Combining with the material choice, it provides a bodily experience from which a deeper and complex expression can be evoked. Zhao starts their sculpture with their body experience and receive it through their body experience. In this sense, their body is their context.
