Redrawing the Boundaries

Visual artists and filmmakers Lonnie van Brummelen (Soest, NL, 1969) and Siebren de Haan (Dordrecht, NL, 1966) investigate topical subjects such as the increasing allotment of the public domain, hardened European border policies and the dislocation that this brings with it. In essays and film installations, they map individual strategies for skirting such obstructions and barricades. At the same time, their works explore the position and meaning of art within such disrupted contexts. Their practice moves between the domains of politics, culture and the aesthetic space of the artwork. The sounding out of borders and the strategic traversal of these different areas forms the core of their activities.
