Q&A
(2025)
Betty Nigianni
I include questions I was given at the Janine Antoni workshop, Toynbee Studios, in 2010, as feedback to my work, which I presented with my artistic pseudonym, Betty Nigianni. Much of Janine Antoni's art is about the female body and cultural identity. I address the participants by the first names they used to introduce themselves at the workshop. The questions were given in writing to each participant by the rest of the group, to offer material for thinking further their artistic practice in their own time.
I include the answers I would give now, if I was asked the same questions.
Artists, architects and designers give interviews about their work. Amongst them, architects tend to write more and publish more written work in relation to their practice.
Opera
(2025)
Merel van Erpers Roijaards
I like to approach my body of work as being one big opera. Every object, wearable object or costume serves the opera. Every spatial costume a backdrop, every sculpture a prop, every wearable object a costume, every costume a character. One day I will make an opera consisting of all my works.
Welcome to my world, welcome to my opera
