Marjet Zwaans

Artist Marjet Zwaans organises her practice from the ideas of Ecological Economics, to arrange them into spatial installations, choir performances, and gatherings. Ecological Economics prioritises sustainable scale and redistribution of resources, over productivity and efficiency. Complementing, contributing, and thus mutually reinforcing is at the heart of tuning into collective practices. Moving in ways that each collaborator can contribute from their own experience without merging – a practice of correspondence.

Marjet Zwaans

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

#26: Script 1: Whispers (Tell The Waters What The Clay Kept Secret II), by Ola Hassanain

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
