VU Medical Centre, Amsterdam
Over a period of four months in 2024, we, the Jewellery-Linking Bodies Department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, worked together with Amsterdam UMC and the VU Medical Centre on a collaborative project called Biome Nest. Coming from different disciplines – art and healthcare – we wanted to rethink what bodies are and how care is understood within our society. The Jewellery-Linking Bodies department was invited to respond specifically to the built environment of four new patient rooms at the VU Medical Centre’s division of Gynecological Oncology. For more information, please find here a link to read as well the BIOME NEST publication by the Jewellery-Linking Bodies, Gerrit Rietveld Academie for the hospital.
The Opening of the patient rooms with the artworks of Felicia Carlsson Shipo, John Cook, Hannah Falcone, Dana Haire, Isabel Heatley, Anne-Sophie de Lange, Max van Meeuwen, Lola Orihuela, Emma Panzou-Lespinasse-Ide-Lafargue, June Querido, Niloofar Salehi, Hung Fu Tsai, Daria Zvarykina and a performance by Shipo Chou will be on June 6, 2025 at VU Medical Centre in Amsterdam.
