Since 1999 we have formed a visual arts duo. We - Saskia Boelsums
and Peter Veen - construct installations that are usually real eye-catchers.
Not only because they are big, but also because we look for images and
texts that present an idea in the most suitable way. They are often
installations that do something or require a response or a simple act from
the spectator. We believe that the design and high degree of interactivity
make sure our work draws lots of attention. Most of these installations
are autonomous work, but we also gladly work on commission.
Furthermore, we like to work on location or to develop an installation for
a special place or occasion. Finally, we enjoy collaborating with artists
from other disciplines. Various new installations and projects are in
development.
Saskia Boelsums - Nieuweramstel, 1960 - was educated as a visual artist at
the Minerva Academy in Groningen. Peter Veen - Zuidwolde, 1952 - started
out as a developer of concepts, a copywriter and writer of prose, poetry,
fiction and non-fiction.
Saskia Boelsums/Peter Veen are members of NKvB (Association of Dutch
Sculptors).
