About

Bart Houwers is a Dutch visual artist living between Aalten and Amsterdam. In his work he reflects on the rural changes of the past decades up to the present day. In site specific installations, notions like: (spatial) memory, micro-histories, place, industries, scale, tradition and loss are being explored in different relational ways.
He often uses pre-existing materials in relation to language, or lack of language. There is a sense of playing with quotes, at the same time it transcends the quote and manipulates what is quoted. Resulting in, seemingly, incoherent and displaced fragments.
