Lonnie
van Brummelen studied art at Rietveld Academy and at Rijks
Academy, and Philosophy at University of Amsterdam. In 2005 van
Brummelen won the Prix de Rome for Lefkosia, the third
chapter of Grossraum: a 35mm film triptych exploring the
landscape at the borders of Europe. Together with Siebren de Haan,
who also studied art at Rietveld Academy and Philosophy at University
of Amsterdam, she has collaborated since 2001 on site-specific exhibition
projects, essays, and film installations. They recently produced
a traveling sculptural piece and a 16mm film Monument of Sugar
- how to use artistic means to elude trade barriers, which investigates
subsidized economy. Their collaborative exhibition projects include
For Compensation (2001), a group exhibition in a new housing
area on Borneo island (Amsterdam) which deals with compensation
principles in Third Way urban planning, and Disclosures,
a series of individual presentations in their apartment in the housing
block of Hans Kollhoff and Cristian Rapp on KNSM island in Amsterdam
(see www.vriza.nl). In essays like Autonomy as Strategy
and Call of the Wild they reflect upon the possibilities
for a critical art practice which can cope with the global dynamics
of inclusion and exclusion, both at work in the market to define
target groups and enlarge the area of distribution, and used by
governments to fix the identity of their cities, citizens, countries
and regions. Van Brummelen's works have recently been exhibited
at Gwangju Biennale, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, TPW Gallery in
Toronto (Images Festival), Palais de Tokyo in Paris and Argos in
Brussels.
Ms. van Brummelen was recommended by Henk Slager, philosopher, art historian and founder of the Global Vernunft Foundation, The Netherlands. Read Ms. van Brummelen's blog
