A handout designed for the Isolde Venrooy solo exhibition •R•E•S•P•O•N•G•E• in De Fabriek in Eindhoven. The text takes unexpected detours following the line of ‘between’ in order to queer directions, a connecting theme in Isolde’s work.
The title •R•E•S•P•O•N•G•E• refers to Isolde Venrooy’s fascination with sponges (the animals) and the sponge-like quality in ourselves. The exhibition reveals the interwoven nature of Isolde’s walking performances, her Indonesian heritage and her artistic working methods, which are rooted in ecological thinking and making.
