Exhibition / presentation

06-05-2022 t/m 31-08-2022
- Location: Art Institute Melly, Rotterdam
- The installation is based on inner developments, whether subconscious, bodily, or energetic, to support emergent understanding and orientation. The process has been supported by a series of somatic 'process work' sessions facilitated by the artist and somatic practitioner Savannah Theis. The sculptures are produced together with textile designer Karen Huang.

Grounding things
Exhibition / presentation
-
06-11-2021 t/m 27-11-2021
- Location: Life, Rotterdam
- Grounding things are soft and heavy objects that invite the body to become more present. Maike Hemmers has developed three cushion works for Life. Each of them carry a different impact that can be used to ground the body. They are made of linen and silk, and are filled with steel balls, millet husks, and different herbs dried since summer from a garden in Germany.

Moving across and through, evening gaze
Exhibition / presentation
-
08-02-2020 t/m 23-02-2020
- In collaboration with: Stephan Blumenschein, Janine Schranz
- Location: New Joerg, Vienna
- Janine Schranz and Stephan Blumenschein side-specific installation alters the basic conditions of the exhibition space of New Jörg by deflecting the attention from the immediately perceived inside, beyond its specific framework, and towards the outside. Maike Hemmers responds in the form of a poem directed towards (imaginative) rooms beyond the entrance and the bar space. The work reflects on the affective movement of bodies and the multi-layered direction of touch.
