duo exhibition : Shift operation Tokyo workflow, Cave gallery, Tokyo, Japan, 2020
work in collaboration with Esther Brakenhoff

Shift Operation is an ongoing project in which we (Esther Brakenhoff and Maarten Schuurman) research the micropolitics of space. We focus on the relationship between the creative process of individuals and groups in relation to the space required for this. The development and exchange of ideas about work processes and forms of cooperation are central. The project takes place at different locations with different groups of artists. We invite local artists from various disciplines to form a temporary artists' community. For this we use the installation as a working form. Within each new location, the installation forms an autonomous space with its own working method and rules.Each version therefore has its own dynamics, process and outcome.
