Spoken Word and Classical

Janneke van der Putten (Amsterdam, 1985) is an artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her practice involves experiences of listening, performances, sound and video, documentations in image/text/textile, workshops, music projects, and creating platforms for cultural exchange. Her voice is her main tool, guiding her through physical and sonic explorations in different landscapes. Engaging with specific sites and local contexts, and through her personal experiences, she investigates (human) responses to her surroundings, and their relation to natural phenomena and transitions, such as the sunrise. Van der Putten graduated from TXT (Textile) at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and completed the Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art and Royal Conservatoire, The Hague. The project ‘Invisible Architecture’ together with Chrs Galarreta, for which they published a vinyl in 2014, has been presented in South-America and Europe, including at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Lima. Janneke was resident at the Centre international d’art et du paysage, Île de Vassivière, and exhibited with solo show All Begins With A at TENT, Rotterdam in 2015. In 2016 she curated the Aloardi Exchange Programme 2016, in collaboration with amongst others WORM.
