What will you do
Allow yourself to be guided through a multi-sensory experience designed to shift your attention inward. As the space subtly changes shape around you, inflatable forms slowly approach and make gentle contact with your body. You are invited to surrender to this non-human touch, letting it ground you in the present moment.
Artist
In his early career Teun Vonk (1986, Uden) focused on photography and video.
Group dynamics and how a group affects an individual were his main topics, as well as the interaction between the visual director, himself, and the subject. Vonk used the camera as a means of exercising power, used it to create a situation and register the spontaneous reactions of the participants.
Currently, Vonk has a radically different direction in his approach to this subject: he creates art installations that focus on individual physical experience. Following a personal experience during a residency in Shanghai, his own body and that of the viewer/participant are his focus point. This has also shaped Vonks daily practice: instead of working primarily from behind a desk, Vonk focuses on the process of making and uses his studio as playground, test site and production area.
Teun Vonk has shown his work at CTM Festival, Ars Electronica, FILE Brazil, STRP Bienniale, Art Rotterdam, Chronus Art Center Shanghai, EYE Amsterdam.
