Rianne Zijderveld

artistic research - analytical - archives

Rianne Zijderveld (NL, 1990) works as a curator, editor and writer. Leading in her projects are the processes that take place when an art object is made public and the way in which it is met and received by its viewer. Within the exhibition space and the book, a dynamic game is played between (visual) arguments and the public. The conceptual challenge lies in the way in which this encounter takes place. This has led to various exhibitions, publications and texts.

Since 2020, Rianne Zijderveld has been running the Unformed Informed (Publishing) initiative. A publisher of "bibliographic documents" within the arts.

Performance

  • 13-12-2019 t/m 13-12-2019
  • In collaboration with: Fadenka van der Sloot
  • Location: the BOUWPUT, Amsterdam
  • Instead of putting together a static group exhibition with (selected) objects made by the tenants of the BOUW incubator, curators Rianne Zijderveld & Fadenka van der Sloot question the curating process itself. 'Exposition in Opbouw' is a live curating performance of 4 hours, in which answers are sought and new questions arise.
