[4] ABOUT
Jason Hendrik Hansma's work explores the notion of the in-between, the liminal, and the nearly articulate. For Hansma, a photograph might be created over months, a glasswork's borders might extend to the work's installation in 'pass-throughs' such as hallways, doorways or windowsills. A hand-stitched curtain might slow down an exhibition's motion, providing a soft cut, moved from a slight breeze from the outside air, or a film will focus on the moment of a wave crashes into architecture. In the work– language (and the loss of language) plays a key role in moving through the politics of aesthetics, to reconsider the means we use to locate ourselves through and with each other. Jason's work deals often with standards, architectural, cultural, and physical, along with the ways in which works are made outside of standardized norms.
Jason was born in Lahore Pakistan, 1988, completed a Master of Fine Art at the Piet Zwart Institute and was a participant at the Jan van Eyck.
Exhibitions, performances, readings and screenings have been included at the Maison van Doesburg, Eyefilmmuseum, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Contemporary Art Centre Vilnius, Centre Georges Pompidou, Parc Saint-Léger Centre d'art Contemporain, Hordaland Kunstsenter, Centre International d'art et du paysage de l’île de Vassivière, Center For Contemporary Art Futura, Jan van Eyck and De Appel among others.
Jason Hendrik Hansma has been guest tutor at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, the Masters Program at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK), the Masters of Research at the University of Amsterdam and the Columbus College of Art and Design.
Jason is also co-director of Shimmer (along with curator Eloise Sweetman), an exhibition space in the shipping port of Rotterdam. Shimmer has shown artists such as Zarouhie Abdalian, Joseph Grigely, Gordon Hall, Ian Kiaer, Elena Narbutaite, Marcel Duchamp, Theo van Doesburg, Ma Qiusha, Lawrence Weiner, Louwrien Wijers, Magali Reus, Harm van den Dorpel, stanley brouwn amongst others.
