Max Onink
When you are looking at art, would you expect it to come home to bed with you? My work exists on the tilting point of the certain into the absurd. Your first impression feels like a familiar situation. Only to let you doubt it at a second glance. A camping kitchen set with a head slowly melting in the pot, or a dead duck that seemed to have flown into a sink, smashing it to pieces. I wish to disturb the natural flow of things, making you question the credibility of your believes. I use vulnerable subjects and uneasy feelings to adres that what might be too close for comfort or inappropriate. The intimacy may make you feel awkward. I wish my work would be in your life, that you let it into your house. You’re not imagining it; this work was made for you. I promise it’ll treat you well.

Elle van Baaren
Elle van Baaren (2000, NL) makes installations that function as sets: somewhere between sculpture, prop, performance and psychological trap. Her work plays with seeing and being seen, participation, control and the moment meaning starts SLIPPING. In The Panopticum Show (2023), viewers waited for a performance that never began. Right now she’s busy figuring out how to stop being the featured extra and become the director instead. Important to her: the work has to stay alive; not turn into a graveyard with the viewer as coroner. Alongside her own practice, she co-runs STUDIO MAX & ELLE with Max Onink, a self-organized artist-run space built on urgency, exchange and doing things ourselves.
