Clementine Edwards

objecten - sculptuur - installatie - video

Clementine Edwards is a Rotterdam-based artist who works across sculpture, writing, performance and film. Clementine's ongoing research line is material kinship, which thinks material beyond extraction and kinship beyond the biological family. Craft, world-building and intimacy are integral to Clementine’s practice, as are the themes of toxic inheritances, climate crisis and climate-grief, and how lived experience, including trauma, narrates meaning-making. It asks, How to honour, remember and enchant the worlds that we are immersed in, and the contexts that shape us, nourish us and resist us? In 2022 Clementine was a Gerrit Rietveld Academy Fellow in the Jewellery—Linking Bodies department and published The Material Kinship Reader, co-edited with Kris Dittel. clementineedwards.com.

  • The short film whiteness is a preliminary sketch about the white everyday. Tender scenes of comfort are placed in relation to Black critical theory to explore the idea of ​​safety in white supremacist civil society. The film sets out to complicate its atmosphere of solitary intimacy by proposing that one cannot understand oneself if that understanding occurs within the assumption of the absolute fact of individual subjectivity.
