Seventeen years ago, Eloise Sweetman and Jason Hendrik Hansma began developing their ideas on curating, art making and arts management while working as Gallery Attendants at PICA. Sweetman and Hendrik Hansma now co-run Shimmer, an exhibition space in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and work as independent artists and curators.
They return to PICA to discuss the concept of ‘integrated practice,’ where the different facets of their studio practice, like curating, publishing and teaching, take inspiration from one another to form the basis for Shimmer.
Shimmer has worked with over 120 artists including, Bik Van der Pol, Ellen Gallagher, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Liz Magor, Charlotte Posenenske, stanley brouwn, and Lawrence Weiner.
