Edwin Stolk

Educated as visual artist I am particularly interested in the dynamics and possibilities of 'public space' as active scene for social inquiries. Each project starts from a personal and precise research, investigating site specific opportunities. My artistic role is to become the initiator of diverse coproductions. The public presence and human interactions that lead to a wide variety of prefigurative visuals I consider the 'artworks' of my practice.
