PLEASE TOUCH
By CIRCUS ENGELBREGT & MARJOLIJN ZWAKMAN (NL) 2017
PLEASE TOUCH invites visitors to think about physical contact in the gallery. How close do you want to get to someone, or how much space do you need for yourself? And how does touch work with a complete stranger in a (semi) public space? Do you want it from a stranger or only from your partner? If you want to be touched, seal it with a PLEASE TOUCH sticker.
BIO
Circus Engelbregt is a disruptive connecting organisation led by artist Martijn Engelbregt. He creates projects to enlarge social sustainability. The projects he initiates and develops always try to evoke a confrontation, because he does not believe in the narrow-mindedness of a society led by rules and fixed ideas.
Marjolijn Zwakman develops rituals, performances and drawings to investigate contact and how we relate to one another. She focuses her projects in the area of tension between set rules and time pressure, and the need for social interaction and contact.
