Email: cgibson@uow.edu.auHarmen de HoopHarmen de Hoop is a visual artist living and working in Rotterdam who seeks to change the way that we look at the public sphere, the place where our values and norms join. He shows the tensions between the ways in which the government wants the public space to be used and the ways in which citizens often unexpectedly use it. With his interventions he breaches the systems and brings forward another, often humane perspective. He always works without a client, installing his 'landscape adjuncts' illegally and anonymously. He shows the documentation of his interventions in galleries and museums all over the world including the International Architecture Biennale-Sao Paulo, ARCO-Madrid, Graham Foundation-Chicago, Canadian Centre for Architecture-Montreal, iGaleria Vaclava Spaly-Prague, NIMK-Amsterdam, Museum Het Valkhof-Nijmegen, Museum Jan Cunen-Oss.
