About / Bio Willem de Haan (1996) is a sign of the times. As a visual artist, he produces iconic images that challenge the socially conditioned rules of everyday life. By adding artificial elements in a convincing yet uncanny manner, his immersive sculptural works exert direct influence on daily situations. The effect of these suggestive interventions is similar to the influence of props on fictional scenarios in film and theatre.
The big difference: Willem’s scenarios are staged in reality. His characteristic playful approach has been an indispensable part of exhibitions, festivals, magazine covers, live stage presentations and TV advertising. Producing locally on an international scale, his recent projects have been on view at Concéntrico (ES, 2024), Down The Rabbit Hole Festival (NL, 2023), Houston Center for Contemporary Crafts (US, 2024), Project Space Festival Berlin (DE, 2024), Paradise City (BE, 2024) and Das Weisse Haus (AT, 2022).
