Arjen Boerstra

The question ‘Who or what am I?’ is on going. It seems to be a personal but also universal search resulting in staged situations and activities that throw the question and possible propositions to myself and to the audience.
The work appears as installations, videos, photographs and performances in specific places, often outside in landscape situations, but also in galleries and art spaces.
Having my projects sometimes on the edge of being recognized as art is an exciting place to be.
With landscape projects like Antarctic Potato Eater (a quest to take a fry shack to Antarctica and bake fries over there), Boerstra Engineering (the company I founded to be undercover as an artist) evaluating e.g. the abuse of our soil, people look from an authentic perspective and are able to have an unprejudiced and fresh point of view.
It could be exciting to have me on your doorstep.
