Neeltje van der Vlugt

The works of Neeltje van der Vlugt (1996) form a sequence of small stages. At the low glass table in her living room where games are played and drawings made, where legs fall asleep and scraps form loose constellations, where half-built constructions resemble rooms held together with glue. Music always playing, steady and unobtrusive, keeping time in the background. Amsterdam appears throughout the work as a familiar book read and reread. Trapdoors and green construction lights on rainy nights, the backs of buildings where nothing decisive happens. Irregularities and traces are the starting point, following these traces has become a working rhythm, a way of allowing materials and places to speak without forcing them to conclusion. Scenography enters here as a method. Observing how people pass through provisional architecture and how memory attaches itself to ordinary thresholds. At Tramhouse, the off-space she has been hosting since 2023, the intention is to let the space change through collective use and interventions. Installations grow from conversation, residency, and accident, forming an archive of moments that remain open, temporary, unfinished, to be continued. She wants to learn how to skateboard and likes the thought of kayaking.


Yves Woffende

Yves Woffenden b. London 2000 Coming from a background in glasswork, Yves’ practice finds its shape within material sensitivity, weighing up the potency of a carefully chosen material or substance. Petroleum jelly, glass, plaster, coloured light, iodine solution, silicones, combine to create transporting and immersive installations and site-responsive sculptures. Subject routinely returns to dealing with narratives from (art)history, the building of utopias, and Myth. With their work they aim to examine, collapse, flip over, and shake up preconceived notions of truth, innocence, and nature.
