Adi Hollander

Adi got her BFA at the G.R.A in Amsterdam, where she lives and works. In 2003 she co-founded the artists’ initiative Public Space With A Roof. PSWAR projects are research-based and address various questions central in current art production: the possibility for collaboration and collective action, development of new exhibition formats, creation of platforms for intimate and individual experience of artworks, the use of others’ artworks as ready-mades, and the possibilities for sensory activation of the spectators through changed parameters of the space. The essential part of each project is an installation, which functions as a public space, a framework for the whole project and an open laboratory. PSWAR won in 2007 a honour prize by the city of Amsterdam and AFK foundation, and was nominated for the AICA prize. In 2013 PSWAR was nominated for the Prix de Rome.
