Symbiosis Series

Daisy Madden-Wells, Katrein Breukers
Curator: Fenne Saedt
30.04.2022 - 26.06.2022
Nijmegen

In the interest of our own future and that of the climate, we will have to reunite with nature. But can we still do that? For the third edition of the Symbiosis Series, artists Katrein Breukers and Daisy Madden-Wells delve into the history of gardens and question the relationship between humans and nature.

 

The name Symbiosis Series is derived from the phenomenon of symbiosis : the prolonged and harmonious coexistence of two or more organisms of different species, whereby coexistence in itself is beneficial or even necessary. This exhibition format provides two artists with space, resources and support to experiment and create new work. Participating artists are encouraged to interact with one another in various ways, similar to the natural process of symbiosis. During this interaction exchange and collaboration are possible, while (re)shaping the individual practice. Sometimes the selected artists’ work differ in medium or conceptual positions, resulting in an exhibition based on a visual dialogue. Other times their practices are more aligned, making the exhibition itself a single entity.

The artists are free to experiment, explore and break up their modus operandi. It is a collaborative process where artists previously unknown to each other exchange visions, working methods and vim and vigor.
