Nice article about the exhibition by Lauren Moya Ford: http://www.vigoexpo.com/blog/panorama-ciudad-at-gallery-adhoc

“But what happens when the artist broaches the space between herself and the scenery she depicts? Annegien van Doorn’s works document spontaneous, handmade tableaux that she assembles from everyday objects like towels, ropes, sponges, and tubes of mayonnaise. Arrangements from In Passing (2015) are strung together precariously and playfully at home and in the streets. Annegien co opts the world of commercial products and packages; her constructions turn glossy, anonymous readymades into something fresh, fun, and subversive. The artist revels in the modern phenomena that have us sitting on the exact same IKEA chair or squeezing the same brand of mustard from one continent to another. Her work is a record of of spontaneous action taken against that context of sameness in the form of touching, squishing, and stacking. There is at times a thin line between photographs that document Annegien’s interventions with daily objects and those of strangers. This is another curious layer of In Passing: distinguishing between constructions created by the artist for her purposes versus those created by lay folk for their own, separate purposes raises questions about material, function, and value- just what makes something art? But Annegien’s hand is open to all objects; perhaps the artist wishes to make no separation at all!”

Erik Kessels selected my book In Passing as one of the highlights of 2015

“It’s not surprising that the cover of Annegien van Doorn’s first book is made from the silver lining of a milk carton. As a photographer, she uses anything and everything to create sculptural images; sculptures that she has found, created or imagined. van Doorn’s work is proof that she is undoubtedly one of Holland’s new raw talents.”
