water (maintenance material)
5.7.2024
during the opening of "Liefde voor tekenen - Love for Drawing"

I was invited to perform my work "water (maintenance material)" at Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. During the opening of the show 'Love for Drawing' on 5.7.2024, I wrote a couple of times on the stones of the beautiful yard in front of the museum.

The text is a phrase from Mierle Laderman-Ukeles' Manifesto! Maintenance Art, 1969 : 'My working will be the work'. You might wonder about the white colour of the letters. It was water with flour (for readability on a rainy day) and got scrubbed off the next day.

But the exhibition on the 1st floor is still on view till 15.09.2024, with works by Fatima Barznge, Susanna Inglada and Koen Taselaar incorporating works from the Museum's collection.

With the 16th edition of 004 collective´s exhibitions, we are relocating to the artist-run space of Herman Lamers, HAL / Het Archief in Rotterdam at Robert Fruinstraat. We are using the entire exhibition space of Het Archief for an installation that features the work of the 16 participants mentioned above.

The guiding principle is a mode of translation, where we involve works that take a detour, like text works, but also works in any other medium that materialize the relation between the objects of interest and their echoes. We react to and serve the particularity of the individual works of art, including our own, to create a show that in best case could be perceived as one single work. Of course this risky endeavour asks a lot of trust from everyone involved. We strive to engage the visitors in a new dialogue, a conversation that fosters a contemporary experience of the works as well as a contemporary experience of the space between the works.
Curious to learn about your observations in this particular exhibition setting, 004 collective will be present during the opening times of the show.

Performance Caro van der Pluijm: Sunday 9.6.2024, 15:00-16:00

Gallery Ursula Walter - in Rotterdam! Eight artists from Saxony are coming to Rotterdam to present their work together with eight local colleagues - it remains a surprise what they will conjure out of their luggage and what will be on display! Since 2018, Dutch artists have played an important role in the programme of Galerie Ursula Walter in Dresden. The artist in residence programme of the partner cities Dresden and Rotterdam and the resulting intensive meetings have now led to an open and broad network. At the same time, the exhibition at Neck of the Woods in Rotterdam is the culmination of the 10th anniversary of the project space Galerie Ursula Walter. What could be better than celebrating this together with guests and also being a guest in the neighbouring country?

A collaboration with Goethe-Institut Niederlande in the framework of Begegnungen // Ontmoetingen and with CBK Rotterdam. This exhibition is supported by Freistaat Sachsen in the framework of the campaign "So geht Sächsisch".

So proud to be part of Kunstlicht Volume 44, N.4, "Between the Standing and the Inclined - Structures supoorting Change"!

Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni and I have contributed with a text in interview-format, "One who eats bread with another".

It has been a fine evening looking back at Passages en passant´s exhibition program and the row of small publications.

At Art Office, you can read Wilke Marten´s beautiful article about Passages en passant´s final event :

Next Thursday, 14.03.2024, you are cordially invited to

'Looking back on Passages en passant'

Please join us for Passages en passant's FINAL event:

Thursday 14.3.2024
doors open: 18:30
start: 19:00

Goethe-Institut Rotterdam
Westersingel 9
3014GM Rotterdam

Passages en passant was a series of exhibitions in the corridor of the Goethe-Institut Rotterdam in which each time the works of two artists were in dialogue with each other. In six exhibitions, which took place between 2021 and 2023, artists were invited with another artist in the institute's passageway space, to show their work and research outside their own artistic practice, with each other and the space. Each exhibition was also the subject of an interview and a small publication.

This evening we want to look back on the project and engage in conversation with the participating artists and writers and see, what footprint Passages has left behind. The conversation will be moderated by Marie Dikker.

With Fatima Barznge & Mirjam Somers, Rachel Carey & Barbara Helmer, Laurien Dumbar & Heleen Schröder, Hieke Pars & Gert Rietveld, Lucie Havel & Dico Kruijsse/Carolin Lange, Benjamin Earl & Daniela de Paulis; Eva Visser, Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa, Dagmar Baumann and Heyer Thurnheer.

Performative talk for the book Launch of Kunstlicht Magazine,"Between the Standing and the Inclined: Structures Supporting Change", FramerFramed, Amsterdam 2024

On 21 February 2024, Framer Framed hosts the launch of the new issue of Kunstlicht magazine, Between the Standing and the Inclined: Structures Supporting Change.

In this issue, the magazine examines the infrastructure and professional practice of artists. Using ‘support’ to speak of all that sustains and shapes an art practice, they ask: What allows someone to stand as an artist and art professional today? What opportunities exist for collective action and self-empowerment?

Speakers
Manuela Zammit en Alina Lupu, Dina from Egypt en Kathrin Wolkowicz and the guest editors Angela Serino and Maja Bekan.

Guest-editors of this issue
Maja Bekan and Angela Serino, with contributions by Manuela Zammit and Alina Lupu, Patricia Healy McMeans, Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni and Kathrin Wolkowicz, Multiple Choice, Irena Bori?, Mari Kalabegashvili, Gunndís Ýr Finnbogadóttir, Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodriguez, Toni Kritzer.

Kunstlicht is an academic journal for art, visual culture, and architecture. Three issues are published each year; two single issues and one double issue, each focusing on one specific theme. The journal was founded in 1980.

The editorial board consists of students and alumni of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with diverse research interests. The journal has been completely volunteer-run from top to bottom since its beginning. The journal is affiliated with the Arts and Culture department at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, but operates as an autonomous foundation. Kunstlicht is designed by Corine van der Wal.

Eléonore Pano-Zavaroni and I have conducted a couple of conversations which have been woven into an interview for Kunstlicht magazine. The new issue "Between the Standing and the Inclined - Structures Supporting Change" features our text on companionship, "One who eats bread with another".

The first launch will take place at CASCO, Utrecht, on 20.01.2024; the second will be at FramerFramed, Amsterdam.

My self-published book "Re-Relating in art practice" is out and slowly and steadily finds it way into the public!

If you would like to follow this process, please see my instagram: kathrin_wolkowicz

Re-Relating in art practice has been printed in offset, 96 pages, released on 17.12.2021. With contributions by

Thanks for following our booklaunch online! Glad about the dedicated viewers and passionate participants who joined online!

I am thrilled to present the publication "Re-Relating in art practice", which has been three years in the making due to Corona obstacles, and is now happily available, hot off the press.

Created as a self-publishing project, the book reflects the relationships between the artworks and art practice of a group of artists presented in text and image. It is conceived as an "exhibition" in book format, which brings up this "in-between space" in texts by various authors and makes the field of interaction visible and tangible.

In the presence of participating artists and authors, this book will now be presented and its birthday celebrated, so to speak, accompanied and moderated by Bérénice Staiger.

Hurrrahhh! We cordially invite you to this book presentation and birthday celebration.

The book presentation will take place online. You can join us via this streaming-link:

Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend @ Studios Borgerstraat
25 and 26 September 2021

During the Groot Rotterdams Atelierweekend, studio 004 opens its doors for the public. 004-collective.net (Dagmar Baumann, Heyer Thurnheer. Kathrin Wolkowicz) is looking forward to your visit.

For an exhibition project at Goethe-Institute Rotterdam, I have teamed up with Marco Douma for putting up a series of shows under the title Passages en passant.

A glimpse of the research project Making the in-between space between artworks speak which has been conducted in spring/summer 2021. The images show the presentation of the outcomes of this working trajectory during the Borgerstraat Open Studios 2021.

In a "mode of complementation" we re-define already realized concepts of our different individual artistic practices in order to reset and engage the works for re-opening of formerly drawn singular conclusions. To distil a common, relational and intermediate in-between space. This July, Shardenia Felicia (Curacao-Netherlands) takes the stage. She presents a recent installation with objects and performance that she has built for this occasion as a starting point. We then take on the given setting to resonate with a work.

Shardenia will perform in her installation on Friday at 14:00 and Sunday at 16:00.

Also on view, the findings from my research trajectory Making the in-between space between artworks speak, which was kindly funded by CBK Rotterdam.

Outbuilding/s is a project by Wilma Kun, Bérénice Staiger and Kathrin Wolkowicz. Since a couple of years the three artists contribute with activities, artistic production and living-experience to Charlois, often in the format of events, meetings, meals or exhibitions, involving participants from Charlois and abroad.

Incredibly happy to hold this copy in my hands: an offspring of the project Befriending Rabot which kept me working 2017-2019 in Rabot, Gent, Belgium.

Marion Andrews, inhabitant of Rabot, typographer and chronicler, self-published this book "Van Rabot naar Rabat". Limited edition, 2020, as tangible version of of her blog where she describes her continuos observations of daily life in the Rabot-Blaisantvest area: https://vriendenvanrabotenblaisantvest.be

Wilma, Berenice and Kathrin are currently working on new modes of making the project Outbuilding/s tangible.

Outbuilding/s is an art and neighborhood project initiated by the three artists that took place in the Wielewaal in the summer / fall 2020 with people from Wielewaal, Charlois.

This title surely is not the expression of disappointment or indifference. It’s more an invitation for ‘Taking it as it is’. No need to look for the narrative, for the meaning behind the work. Everything is there to be captured at the first glance – the clarity of facing the visible, perceiving the actual.
The separate works come along as bold or subtle or almost invisible gestures, but in any form they address a congruency between making and perceiving, both enhancing the little shock of presence, contained in 5 approaches:

creating a wall-filling description of a sentence, executed with mathematical precision by Milou van Ham

evoking memories of movement, with video screens in translucent paper bags by Kathrin Wolkowicz

Due to the current situation there will be no opening; instead we work with appointments for 3 people max.

The installation is visible from the street throughout the exhibition-period from October 30th to November 22nd 2020. Please attend to Herman Lamers to make an appointment during the days that the exhibition can be visited: mail to info@hermanlamers.nl

Outbuilding/s is wrapping up the autum-work and looks back on what happened this summer.

We are reviewing our three individual and commen projects, two exhibitions plus some events, amongst others.

We hope to be able to present our outcomes between January and April 2021 in the Wielewaal, Rotterdam Charlois and elsewhere.

On invitation by artist ieke Trinks, I have been developing a work for the thrift store Gi-Cycle, as part of ieke´s project Precarious Things / Onbestendige Dingen in the framework of Charlois Speciaal, festival of the arts the South of Rotterdam.

Due to the latest Covid-19 measures, the last 3 presentations of Precarious Things (HOME in the future, How to put it, and Museum for Broken Things) have been postponed until a yet to be determined date.

* Kathrin Wolkowicz
how to put it
Unparalleled objects from Gi-Cycle form the point of departure for a new performative work that Kathrin Wolkowicz showcases in the shop´s window at announced times.

Onbestendige Dingen (Precarious Things) represents the changing nature of objects that surround us in our everyday environment. It also stands for how we as humans constantly relate ourselves to those objects.

In October, every weekend there are exhibits and activities to attend in one of these Charlois Rotterdam thrift stores. In addition to her own participation, ieke Trinks has invited three other local artists to develop a work or an activity in one of the shops. Furthermore, the music theater collective VOX (also partly locally) is performing two times on location. For each of the artistic contributions, the object - or series of objects - are taken as the starting point, always from a completely different position. KOFI for instance, creates new functional lamps by using discarded objects. Theater group VOX shows us how objects can tell us a lot without the need to speak. Inspired by the SF/Fantasy bookshelf in the store 5314 Vintage, mariëlle verdijk invites you to speculate with her about our domestic life in the year 2220. Kathrin Wolkowicz lets herself being guided by the things in the shop for her performance and installation in the window. And lastly, ieke Trinks asks us to look at objects in their broken state of being.

Currently Wilma Kun, Bérénice Staiger and I are pursuing each our three individual projects "Boeken en Meer", "Aan Tafel" and "Koffie Corner".

For "Koffie Corner", I walk the area following the suggestions for locations by the locals, collecting stories of the the Wielewaal and its inhabitants through summer/autumn 2020.

This project of Pictura, drawing association of Dordrecht, aims to portray 100 inhabitants of Dordrecht by 100 artists in remembrance of the Synod of Dort 400 years ago.

I will be showing a new work that emerged from a series of conversations with the model I was assigned to, Sophie Verhey.

Belgian artist Stijn van Dorpe invited me to participate in his project for ´Piloot project Tondelier´.
My participation in this long term of project is based on regular visits and meetings with the inhabitants of Rabot, a district of the city of Gent, Belgium.

and nurtured by the exchange with Stijn van Dorpe,
curated by Daniëlle van Zuijlen

Within the informal setting of Conversas Rotterdam, I would like to share experiences and possible outcomes of my project Befriending Rabot with the inhabitants of the Rabot-district in Gent.

The 2nd of November has been a wonderful evening and I would like to thank everyone for coming! The programming has been a pleasure!

For Performance aan de Laan, Gerwin Luijendijk´s series of performance evenings in Rotterdam South, I curated an evening with performances around spoken/written word:

Considering autobiography an account to the life of oneself which events, happenings, incidents, coincidences would we draw attention to? How do we reflect on our own life as becoming? In this process, can we recall, review or reinterpret and therefore rewrite one's own history?
This evening is an attempt to make, play and interpret modes of self-reading and self-referentiation. We would like to invite you to attend a consenting piece, a sound with a painting, a writing lecture, an expert's opinion, a phased reading, a musical revue and an other-piece.

With contributions by Marcus Bergner, Rachel Carey, Toine Horvers, PQI (Patricia Pluijmers), G.J. de Rook, Heyer Thurnheer and Kathrin Wolkowicz

Distance, stay close. Out of arm´s length it begins to look like war. A strong definite lead on the other hand avoids getting too rough. Move well so you can think of something else or carry on a conversation. Act all the time like glass reaching out for a hand. Share flatness as the table does. Direct brute openness to form because everything that breaks up builds relations. Bake a key.

An exhibition on interrelational conditions and affections. From organisms and things, among blood bonds and adoration, between internalized thinking, projection and censorship – we are linked and connected; we position ourselves towards others and things, groups and mechanisms, acting on suggestions or abandoning ourselves to an impulse. What are those encounters / these touches to one or the many; and what does the in-between offer? What makes us move or feel for? A walk with ideals and estrangement, orientation and dissipation.

Wielewaal is an area in Charlois, Rotterdam, with an astonishing rural vibrancy. Serving an urgent housing need after World War II, it was initially intended as a temporary settlement. In the course of urban development, plans have been laid out that foresee a replacement of the single-storey houses with multi-level buildings. Though half of the area´s houses have already been deserted, Wielewaal could still be considered a paradise with beautiful gardens, a considerable variety of birds, flowers and small animals.
Five artists are drawing on the concept of garden in the transitional situation of this settlement. Their works are shown in an apartment characteristic of this neighbourhood.

This year we developed the publication together with 5upleft and stunning photos by Lavinia Xausa. The publication consists of a booklet accompanied by a newspaper. With text-contributions by Godelieve Spaas, Henk Borgdorff, Josephine Baan, Bérénice Staiger and Katja Langeland. The publication will be presented during the Open Studios at Borgerstraat, 9-11 February 2018. Feel warmly invited to visit!

Song-Ming Ang and Julien Grossmann invited me to participate in their project Dusk to Dawn Choruses.

Performance view at Het Wilde Weten: Michiel Huijben, Milou van Ham, Kathrin Wolkowicz, Song-Ming Ang, Jan Adriaans, Julien Grossmann.

Dusk to Dawn Choruses is the first iteration of Julien Grossmann and Song-Ming Ang's research into the various forms and definitions of the chorus. From the ancient Greek chorus to modern telecommunications companies (Chorus Limited), and from morning birdsongs (dawn choruses) to the humming of Chorus Motors (Borealis Exploration), the project is a musical journey into what a chorus could be.
The outcome of a five-day workshop with an ensemble of five performers from Rotterdam, the evening's program features a range of musical experiments based on instructional scores and compositions in which the voice occupies a central place.

September 2017

As part of the spring series of Travelling Exhibition, my book palm cities travels with Manuela Büchting´s project deerpress.

This summer I curated a show at OnArte, platform for contemporary art in Locarno. On July 22nd 2017, "Lungs of Sugar", a show on ornament and sound opened, featuring video, drawing and installation by Gianfranco Baruchello, Fatima Barznge, Andrea Callard, Rachel A. Carey, Gianluca Monnier and Markus Zimmermann, with a contribution by Nicole Rampazzi. Thanks to everyone involved for the unbelievable support!

A chant or call. Who is speaking? Harp or wire that makes sounds. Branches. Stretched out twigs yield forms and scapes. Land is veiled. Land is vain and vertical. Land is braid. Land is lost and gained. Land is brittle, bold and frayed. Active longings tendrilise.

The show “Lungs of Sugar” dedicates a stage to sound and ornament. It wishes to approach their qualities - repetition, adornment and processuality - in relation to notions of artistic production, spatio-temporal perception as well as positioning towards our surroundings.

				RECENT photos: Fred Ernst water (maintenance material) 5.7.2024 during the opening of "Liefde voor tekenen - Love for Drawing" I was invited to perform my work "water (maintenance material)" at Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. During the opening of the show 'Love for Drawing' on 5.7.2024, I wrote a couple of times on the stones of the beautiful yard in front of the museum. The text is a phrase from Mierle Laderman-Ukeles' Manifesto! Maintenance Art, 1969 : 'My working will be the work'. You might wonder about the white colour of the letters. It was water with flour (for readability on a rainy day) and got scrubbed off the next day. But the exhibition on the 1st floor is still on view till 15.09.2024, with works by Fatima Barznge, Susanna Inglada and Koen Taselaar incorporating works from the Museum's collection.

We are using the entire exhibition space of Het Archief for an installation that features the work of the 16 participants mentioned above. The guiding principle is a mode of translation, where we involve works that take a detour, like text works, but also works in any other medium that materialize the relation between the objects of interest and their echoes. We react to and serve the particularity of the individual works of art, including our own, to create a show that in best case could be perceived as one single work. Of course this risky endeavour asks a lot of trust from everyone involved. We strive to engage the visitors in a new dialogue, a conversation that fosters a contemporary experience of the works as well as a contemporary experience of the space between the works. Curious to learn about your observations in this particular exhibition setting, 004 collective will be present during the opening times of the show.

In six exhibitions, which took place between 2021 and 2023, artists were invited with another artist in the institute's passageway space, to show their work and research outside their own artistic practice, with each other and the space. Each exhibition was also the subject of an interview and a small publication. This evening we want to look back on the project and engage in conversation with the participating artists and writers and see, what footprint Passages has left behind. The conversation will be moderated by Marie Dikker.

It’s more an invitation for ‘Taking it as it is’. No need to look for the narrative, for the meaning behind the work. Everything is there to be captured at the first glance – the clarity of facing the visible, perceiving the actual. The separate works come along as bold or subtle or almost invisible gestures, but in any form they address a congruency between making and perceiving, both enhancing the little shock of presence, contained in 5 approaches: stringing tiny pearls into stringy forms by Arianne van der Gaag creating a wall-filling description of a sentence, executed with mathematical precision by Milou van Ham celebrating the gesture with a pink brushstroke by the hand of Dagmar Baumann reformulating the unapparent as a photographic facade - Danni van Amstel evoking memories of movement, with video screens in translucent paper bags by Kathrin Wolkowicz Due to the current situation there will be no opening; instead we work with appointments for 3 people max.

Onbestendige Dingen (Precarious Things) represents the changing nature of objects that surround us in our everyday environment. It also stands for how we as humans constantly relate ourselves to those objects. In October, every weekend there are exhibits and activities to attend in one of these Charlois Rotterdam thrift stores. In addition to her own participation, ieke Trinks has invited three other local artists to develop a work or an activity in one of the shops. Furthermore, the music theater collective VOX (also partly locally) is performing two times on location. For each of the artistic contributions, the object - or series of objects - are taken as the starting point, always from a completely different position. KOFI for instance, creates new functional lamps by using discarded objects. Theater group VOX shows us how objects can tell us a lot without the need to speak. Inspired by the SF/Fantasy bookshelf in the store 5314 Vintage, mariëlle verdijk invites you to speculate with her about our domestic life in the year 2220. Kathrin Wolkowicz lets herself being guided by the things in the shop for her performance and installation in the window. And lastly, ieke Trinks asks us to look at objects in their broken state of being.

How do we reflect on our own life as becoming? In this process, can we recall, review or reinterpret and therefore rewrite one's own history? This evening is an attempt to make, play and interpret modes of self-reading and self-referentiation. We would like to invite you to attend a consenting piece, a sound with a painting, a writing lecture, an expert's opinion, a phased reading, a musical revue and an other-piece.

Out of arm´s length it begins to look like war. A strong definite lead on the other hand avoids getting too rough. Move well so you can think of something else or carry on a conversation. Act all the time like glass reaching out for a hand. Share flatness as the table does. Direct brute openness to form because everything that breaks up builds relations. Bake a key. An exhibition on interrelational conditions and affections. From organisms and things, among blood bonds and adoration, between internalized thinking, projection and censorship – we are linked and connected; we position ourselves towards others and things, groups and mechanisms, acting on suggestions or abandoning ourselves to an impulse. What are those encounters / these touches to one or the many; and what does the in-between offer? What makes us move or feel for? A walk with ideals and estrangement, orientation and dissipation.

Serving an urgent housing need after World War II, it was initially intended as a temporary settlement. In the course of urban development, plans have been laid out that foresee a replacement of the single-storey houses with multi-level buildings. Though half of the area´s houses have already been deserted, Wielewaal could still be considered a paradise with beautiful gardens, a considerable variety of birds, flowers and small animals. Five artists are drawing on the concept of garden in the transitional situation of this settlement. Their works are shown in an apartment characteristic of this neighbourhood. https://www.facebook.com/events/169022677103366/ Arnoudstraat 55, 3082 PA Rotterdam, The Netherlands This exhibition is part of the festival Charlois Speciaal and supported by CBK Rotterdam - - - FOURTH EDITION Borgerstraat Publication 2018 The fourth edition of the Borgerstraat Magazine has been printed!
