11 Sep–3 Oct
Joke Olthaar, Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa, Karin de Visser
Based in Rotterdam, Joke Olthaar moves fluidly between theatre, film, and the visual arts. Trained as a visual artist, she has worked as a theatre maker, set designer, screenwriter, writer and illustrator of children’s books, and more recently as a filmmaker. Her practice revolves around observing how people move through space. Her visual works are often created through physical interventions—scratching on paper, ice flowers, or glass, alongside linoleum cuts and lithographs—revealing traces of presence and time.

Patricia Pinheiro de Sousa focuses on fragmented landscapes and the way incomplete narratives shape collective memory. Using fiction and an archival aesthetic, she re-enacts the figure of the expert, constructing her own props and film sets while weaving together visual and textual resources. Her recent projects look to future terrains, both above and below the surface, layering archival and fictional imagery to intertwine different historical moments.

Also from Rotterdam, Karin de Visser transforms overlooked objects—stones, shells, bricks, scraps of paper—into works of art. The ever-changing city itself is a central subject, both muse and critic. By combining contrasting found materials with instinctive logic, she reflects on imperfection as a source of beauty, questioning the desire for perfection that drives urban transformation.
