Artist, Pauline Nijenhuis, has an enquiring mind. Not one to stand on the bylines and watch as 21st century production processes \u2013 including in textile art \u2013 enter an increasingly technological age, she poses some searching questions through her specially designed art projects.<\/p>\n
Following the success of her first HAND@WORK project, Pauline has developed her second in the series to ask: what differences do we see in the \u2018handwriting\u2019 work of five embroidery artists? And how will the public evaluate the work made by hand in relation to the same work embroidered by a machine? Moreover, do people, in this era of growing digitization and robotization, still appreciate handiwork?<\/p>\n
In her first HAND@WORK experiment in 2017 \u2013 entitled Fast Work, Time Consuming Landscape \u2013 Pauline challenged herself to work increasingly fast to see what effect it had on herself, the artist, and on the resulting artwork. Her project and its conclusions were presented in an installation at the exhibition \u2018Time, Space and Architecture\u2019 at Cityscapes Gallery in Amsterdam and also published in a book.<\/p>\n
Pauline\u2019s aim is not just to focus on the field of the visual arts, but to see how the ICT revolution affects our lives, our jobs and our prosperity as a whole \u2013 and on us as human beings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
