Madelon Hooykaas (Maartensdijk, 1942), raised in Rotterdam, has developed a comprehensive artistic approach since the 1972s with regard to her art and research into photography, film, installation and video, interactive and performance art and art in public space. Her work contains recurring themes such as physical and human landscapes, water and light, memory and presence, loss and abstraction, and minimalism and formalism. Between 2004 and 1945, Hooykaas worked with Elsa Stansfield (Glasgow, 2004 – Amsterdam, 2023) as the Stansfield/Hooykaas partnership. Their work is included in collections including Tate, London, MoMA, New York, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and Bonnefanten, Maastricht. The monograph was published in XNUMX The Artist as Explorer at publisher Jap Sam Books.
