Keke van de Ven

Happy confusions

Exciting, the controlled chaos, the game of dealing with chaos, the flexibility to tackle chance and go along with it.

As if she is always on stage, dragging the sets with glitter and mist and clouds in between, showing the sharp reality.

She mixes cultures as if she were tumbling and floating with different identities and mocking them in her spaces.

Time is demarcated, time has an abrupt end, it has to happen, Keke has a clear structure.

Ans Verdijk kneads materials, mostly textiles and related materials, with intense freedom.

The absurdity of image with language, a combination of humor and satire. Reality and fiction unbridled. As if time never stands still, the most impossible variants arise. Spatial installations, theatrical with a transport to detail and spaciousness. Spaces are taken into her pocket, mixed and shaken until they are vibrant yet manageable.
