Travis A. G. Geertruida

Travis Geertruida brings together multiple, multidisciplinary works that emerge from long trajectories of research. Both individually and as part of an installation, the works often include symbols and structures of clear cultural significance that allow the artist to expose and question their meaning for himself and others. Often, Geertruida’s works are reminiscent of monuments, bringing about a sense of history, but also asking us to better investigate the way this history was constructed. The use of these structures is no criticism particularly, but always stems from Geertruida’s desire to question his personal relationship with his past, culture, and heritage.
