CV
This is an overview of past and current work
Researcher in the socio-spatial domain
Veldacademie, Gemeente Rotterdam
2022-
Veldacademie is a research workplace and knowledge platform focusing on the integral development of neighborhoods. Through action research and by using customized methods, our in-depth and mainly qualitative research sheds light on the experiences and needs of the inhabitants of cities, in relation to regional developments. I develop, lead and carry out research projects, in collaboration with many partners.
Artistic Researcher
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
2020-2022
While working at the Philosophy department, I got the liberty to create my own project within the project "Epistemic Progress in the University". It focused on making philosophical research more tangible by researching ways in which philosophers could work with artists and vice versa. This happened in collaboration with art space Bureau Postjesweg.
Managing director Abraham Kuyper Center
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
2018-2020
At the Philosophy department (Abraham Kuyper Center) of the VU, I have been involved in the facilitation of long term research projects and grant applications in the field of epistemology. Here I have managed the project ''Epistemic Responsibilities of the University'' (2016-2020). I also worked on the start-up of the project "Epistemic Progress in the University" (2020-2023).
Head of program
Van Eesteren Museum
2017-2019
Starting off as volunteer, as I stumbled upon this museum next door, I worked as the head of program at the Van Eesteren Museum. The museum, located at the Sloterplas in Amsterdam focusses on the legacy and the ongoing relevance of the work of architect Cornelis van Eesteren, who designed Amsterdam Nieuw-West along the principles of 'light, air and space'.
Curator
Open Ateliers Nieuwmarkt
2017
Open Ateliers Nieuwmarkt yearly takes place in Amsterdam. I curated the group exhibition ''Deze Beweging'' [This Movement] for the 2017 event (October 7-8). Our exhibition took place in the UvA building VOX-POP.
Participating artists:
Jesse Ahlers, Neil Fortune, Johanna de Haan, Frits Hesseling & Renate Jacobs.
Curator & Consultant
Lukida Onderwijs
2017
Lukida Onderwijs couples artists with primary schools that (temporarily) lack art and science teachers. I curated an exhibition with photography work of Lukida-member Job Stribos at the Amsterdamse Academische Club.
Project manager assistant
Museum om de Hoek
2017-2018
Museum om de Hoek is a collective consisting of various (at the time 8) small museum and museum initiatives in Amsterdam. It aims to share knowledge and know-how between its organisations.
I have represented the Van Eesteren Museum in the collective and later developed its first website and co-managed the celebration of the birthday of Amsterdam in all museums.
Initiator: renting out art studio's
Freelance
2015-2016
At the end of my studies I noticed the lack of affordable ateliers (and consequently exhibition spaces) in Amsterdam. I wanted to positively influence this situation. Through my network I got assigned various vacant buildings in central Amsterdam, for which I selected the artists and operated as contact person for both the artists and vacant property managers.
Artist & Researcher
Graduation exhibition
@ Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam
2015
At the end of the Research Master 'Artistic Research' at the UvA, I exhibited my graduation work at the SMBA as part of the group exhibition 'Amongst Ghosts and Robots'. The work was accompanied by a written thesis (grade: 9), called 'The Curious Case of the Boundary', which can be read here.
