Summary:

Dutch artist Bastienne Kramer (1961) is based in Amsterdam. During and after her studies at the St Joost School of Art & Design, Breda, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, travelling became a great source of inspiration for her. She has participated in several residencies including at the Ku?nstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, Sanskriti Kendra in New Delhi, and Atelier Holsboer in the Cit. internationale des arts in Paris, and spent several working periods at the European Ceramic Work Centre in ?s-Hertogenbosch and Oisterwijk. Her work is shown nationally and internationally and is included in several collections. In addition to various positions in art education, she was head of the Ceramics Department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam.00Kramer?s work is in the fields of sculpture and installation. She combines familiar and unfamiliar objects in unorthodox ways that lead to completely contrary and sometimes even usable objects. While her works are highly distinctive in form and figuration, all the interventions comment on cultural and political phenomena within societies. In 2019, Kramer had a solo exhibition at the Kunstvereniging Diepenheim, Diepenheim. This exhibition provided the impetus for a survey of her work in the form of a book. As the first wave of the pandemic ruled out physical encounters for an indeterminate period of time, the idea of ?a book as an exhibition? developed into HOME MADE ENERGY.
