Join us for a talk by Dutch artist Willem de Rooij. De Rooij was born 1969 in Beverwijk, and currently lives in Berlin. He selects and combines images in a variety of media, from sculpture to photography, film to text. He analyses conventions of presentation and representation, and constructs tensions between socio-political and autonomous productions of meaning. De Rooij studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Akademie and Rijksakademie, Amsterdam. Recent solo exhibitions include Legal Noses, Regen Projects, Los Angeles (2015); The Impassioned No, Le Consortium, Dijon (2015); Character is Fate, Witte de With, Rotterdam (2015); Untitled, Kunstverein München (2012); Crazy Repelled Firelight, Friedrich Petzel Gallery, New York (2011); and Intolerance, Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin (2010). He is a Professor at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Städelschule, Frankfurt.
