bio
Bink van Vollenhoven (Amsterdam 1983)
Artist & creative concept developer.
Lecturer at The Institute Of the Arts, Maastricht.
In my works drawings, paintings, stories and moving images are brought to life.
It is a world full of wonderment, where it all connects:
theatre, film, dance, music, visual art, philosophy, science, technology and society.
I believe you should have a profound interest in different ways of thinking and in other people's specialisms.
Have an open mind and engage on collaborations. This will add us a new transdisciplinary language that gives meaning to our times.
I see this approach as an example of how our contemporary society could function and how we could inspire one another.
