Jasper Griepink

Through elaborate performance and installation pieces, actions and happenings, artist Jasper Griepink (1988) explores the skills and visions needed to create a healthy and abundant future. In his work, participants are often invited into temporal sacred and/or community spaces. There, the bodies, histories and feelings of participants interact and provoke grass-roots bonding, counter cultural opportunities and the exchange of personal remedies against the virus of global capitalism. In general, Griepink's elaborate projects aim at emancipating forms of behaviour, thinking and spirituality and furthermore try to evolve the eco-centric cohabitation of the planetary spaceship. Griepink was awarded the Piet Zwart Promotion Award, the Jan Zumbrink Award and is supported by various national arts councils. His work was shown at Art Rotterdam, Lustwarande Tilburg, MuHKA Antwerp, TENT Rotterdam, Witte de With Rotterdam, 1646 The Hague, ZERP Gallery Rotterdam and internationally at Tidens Krav, Oslo and The Manse, Ithaca (NY).
