The performance work of Andres Galeano and Ieke Trinks share a similar methodology, and sometimes, a desired goal. Developed in situ, Galeano and Trinks create performances which combine everyday and found materials with instruction (scores), observation and live action, resulting in combinations and configurations that are both deeply philosophical and highly absurd.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Andrés Galeano was born in Spain in 1980. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He works with drawing, photography, video, installation and performance and has realized exhibitions in Europe and Canada. He is the curating of the performance art programme Extension Series at Grimmuseum (Berlin), ¡POESÍACCIÓN! at Instituto Cervantes (Spain) and is the co-organizer of the Month of Performance Art Berlin.
Ieke Trinks was born in the Netherlands in 1977. She lives and works in Rotterdam. She holds a Masters of Fine Art at AVK St Joost in the Netherlands (2008). Ieke’s work has presented in various venues in Europe and South America. She is part of a performance collective called TRICKSTER that works with “emergent-form composition’”, and since 2009 she has co-produced PAE (Performance Art Event) in Rotterdam.
