Plants have an important influence on efficiency. Artists like to be productive. For the duration of the exhibition, office plants were borrowed from advertising agencies across The Netherlands. Studies have shown that employee’s productivity jumps 15% when offices are filled with just a handful of plants. Plants help relieve stress, improve memory and enhance creativity.
By a transfer of efficiency Kunst_planten wonders how to make the exhibition space ironically efficient and commercially welcoming.
Visitors were invited to water the plants.

︎ Jegens en Tevens, article - eng version
I worked in an advertising agency.
I hate advertising.
My experience led to a constant interest in the study of urban and commercial trickery – also known in French as roublardise. To reveal the economical construct of urban contexts, I use the effectiveness of commercial strategies against itself in a tautological and often parasitic manner. To a further extent, my practice tackles the aesthetics of bureaucracy, entrepreneurship, and efficiency through relational, situational, and contextually specific works, self-reflecting upon the economy of artistic practice in a production-driven society.
