IN CONTEXT 3
Mediation Commission
Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol live in Rotterdam, and since 1995 have worked collectively as Bik Van der Pol. They are interested in the revitalization of memory in the present, with the circulation of knowledge and how this knowledge is produced.
Re-viewing the re-use of existing and left-over spaces, forms and situations are important strategic tools, through which they critically and constructively address 'normal' situations. Rather than add yet another new idea to the cycle of production and consumption, Liesbeth and Jos aim to revise and re-activate existing situations. Co-operation with specialists and those who are willing to contribute to broadening the impact of a project is indispensable in their way of working. This interaction, resulting in production of knowlegde and shared experiences creates a kind of platform for various kinds of communicative activities. They aim to improve situations, add what is missing, highlight what is in the dark and to open rather than close.
