Solo- exhibition Enkeltje Schiphol in Amsterdam @ Imagine IC
www.imagineic.nl


May 12, 2011
Evening about the relation between art and anthropology @ Imagine IC, Amsterdam. Starts at 19.30h. Organised by Framer Framed.
Kunstenaars zijn zich steeds meer actief gaan bezig houden met maatschappelijke vragen en maken daarbij dankbaar gebruik van methoden en begrippen ontwikkeld in bijvoorbeeld de antropologie. Het werk van kunstenaars en antropologen wordt beide gekenmerkt door een streven betekenis te geven aan de ons omringende wereld. De grens tussen kunst en antropologie vervaagt waar nieuwe samenwerkingsverbanden en kruisbestuivingen ontstaan.
Met Karine Versluis, Koštana Banović, Marlous Willemsen (directeur Imagine IC), Hilde de Bruin (curator bij Cobra en voormalig Hoofd Tentoonstellingen bij Smart Project Space), Avondvoorzitter is Will Tinnemans. De inleiding op de avond wordt verzorgd door Eddy Appels, antropoloog en documentair filmmaker, en directeur van SAVAN en het Beeld voor Beeld festival. www.imagineic.nl

ABOUT
tr>tr>
Karine Versluis (1980, The Netherlands)


In my work I seek to question how people deal with their identity, culture and the society they’re living in. I use photography and sometimes a combination with found footage, illustrations and text to show personal real-life stories of individuals.
