Adi Hollander

Co-founder of the Amsterdam-based artist initiative Public Space With a Roof  active since 2003, she holds a MS degree in Art, Culture and Technology  from the MIT. Hollander’s work has been exhibited in numerous galleries  and museums in the Netherlands and internationally. In her work, she  creates site-specific installations as places of exchange which take  form of objects and sculptures that can be experienced simultaneously as  interiors and exteriors. The source of this interest comes from  Hollander’s fascination with the concept of time in the domain of  architecture, as well as with the question of how form and structure  allow spectators to actively develop the environments they are part of.  Her projects are an attempt to embody a certain complexity of sensory  experience, as an alternate form of knowledge about the senses and how  we ‘read’ the world around us. An aspect of inquiry or doubt is  introduced to leave the process of questioning open, and to allow for  more questions to enter. More info: website Adi Hollander.

Passepartout Duo

Passepartout Duo is formed by pianist Nicoletta Favari (IT) and percussionist Christopher Salvito (US/IT). Drawing from a carefully selected palette of electro-acoustic textures and shapeshifting rhythms, Passepartout Duo’s work investigates the way in which we listen to and connect with sound. Reassessing the tools they use to create their music, the group is continually developing a specialized and evolving ecosystem of handmade musical instruments that have ranged from analog electronic circuits and conventional percussion, to room-size textile installations and found objects.

Passepartout Duo has been the recipient of dozens of artist residency opportunities around the world including The Watermill Center (US), the Swatch Art Peace Hotel (CN), the Rogers Art Loft (US), and the Embassy of Foreign Artists (CH). Their multidisciplinary approach has also led them to exhibit both their own creations and their collaborations with fellow artists at venues such as Casino Luxembourg (LU), the Nakanojo Biennale (JP), Aarhus Artspace (DK), and Fanrong Museum (CN).
