Lieve de Vreede
Bio:
Lieve de Vreede is a visual artist and philosopher whose work explores the boundaries between beauty and disgust. By transforming materials often considered repulsive, such as sheep dung or rubbish, into something unexpectedly beautiful, she challenges us to look differently at the things we often avoid. Her work is about processing shame, fear and discomfort through the creation of sculptures that redefine our perception of what ‘waste’ is.
Marie de Vreede, Rietveld Academy alumni, explores the relationship between people and objects in public space in her work. She is fascinated by rejected or lost objects and people who fall outside the norm. This theme of rejection and contrasts between beauty and disgust is reflected in her photography and sculptures. Marie captures the tensions between social structures, the value we assign to things, and the power of repetition and repetition in her work.
Together, Lieve and Marie bring a unique combination of philosophical depth and visual power to this workshop, where they not only help you make something, but also show you how to look, observe and reflect. Poetry emerges in which the abject is promoted to art. ‘Waste’ is elevated to poetry through seeing and recording.
