jakob van klinken works


About
Jakob van Klinken is a Greek-Dutch artist who investigates how desire shapes our surroundings.
In many instances we put our own frustrations and desires into inanimate things, and make them come to life. Van Klinken researches this specifically in the environment of the garden.
His inspiration comes from trying to do daily gardening while his Rotterdam South neighborhood is being demolished. He discovered that a lot of suppressed frustrations came up while working in the neglected garden, then already full of wrecking-debris and garden trash.
Jakob van Klinken (DE, 1998) has a bachelors in Fine Arts from ArtEZ, Arnhem, and a Masters in Artistic Research from KABK, The Hague. In his studio practice he produces sculpture, painting and video-work, often in collaboration with others from outside the field of art.
Outside the studio he teaches, writes, and conducts research on the functions of public space.
