More information about Jort van der Laan

Jort van der Laan’s (1986) artistic praxis of experimental video and printed matter addresses the intricate relationship between immunity and community. Plural and porous, you will find body and mind presented as an assemblage that is, moreover, part of other assemblages: artistic / political / cultural / economic / spiritual / medical.

Van der Laan obtained his MA at the Dutch Art Institute (DAI ROAMING ACADEMY) and a BA at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. He was a resident artist at King’s College, London.

His work has been shown at venues including Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons, Utrecht; Rongwrong, Amsterdam; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; The Tokyo Art Book Fair; Centraal Museum, Utrecht; Zico House, Beirut. He has been involved with Studium Generale Rietveld Academie since 2011.
