Jan Hoek

Jan Hoek (1984) is een kunstenaar en schrijver en oprichter van No Limits! Art Castle. Dit is een cultureel instituut in Nederland dat meer ruimte creëert voor ongeziene kunstenaars, zoals neurodiverse kunstenaars, queer kunstenaars, dakloze kunstenaars, sekswerkerskunstenaars, gehandicapte kunstenaars, en dit alles vermengd met de meest unieke reguliere kunstenaars.

In zijn eigen werk voelt hij zich altijd aangetrokken tot de schoonheid van buitenstaanders wereldwijd en is hij altijd bereid intensief samen te werken met mensen die normaal gesproken over het hoofd worden gezien, om samen een nieuw beeld te creëren. Hij fotografeerde bijvoorbeeld filmsterren zoals motorrijders uit Nairobi, een voormalige heroïneverslaafde uit Amsterdam die altijd al van supermodel wilde zijn, maakte psychedelische zines over het sekstoerisme-hoofdkwartier van de wereld, Pattaya, en maakte een serie over de Maasai die zich niet identificeren met het stereotype beeld van springende Maasai. In het universum van Hoek zijn de ‘normale’ mensen de vreemden en zijn de buitenstaanders de funky heersers van deze planeet. Hoeks werk is tentoongesteld op plaatsen zoals Foam (Amsterdam), Unseen Festival (Amsterdam), Photoville (New York), Fomu (Antwerpen) en Lagos Photo (Lagos).

#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.
