ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER MELANIE BONAJO

Melanie Bonajo examines the paradoxes inherent in ideas about comfort. Through her videos, performances, photographs and installations, Bonajo studies subjects that are related to the concept of progress and undermine the individual’s sense of belonging. She looks at the way technological advances and commodity-based pleasures increase feelings of alienation. Captivated by notions of the divine she explores the spiritual emptiness of her generation, examines peoples’ shifting relationship with nature, and attempts to understand existential questions by looking at our domestic situations, our ideas about classification and gender, and our attitudes toward value. Melanie Bonajo has exhibited and performed in various (international) art institutions, such as de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam, Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Moscow Biennale, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, and PPOW Gallery, New York. Her films have been screened at festivals such as the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) and the Berlinale.
