Tommie Soro (DAI, 2014) ~ “Growing up in Dublin city, I was always fascinated by how public space was colonized by commercial and political interests; in particular the way in which an endless cacophony of commercial messages is encouraged to construct the discourses which engender our narratives, identities and behaviour.”

10.01.17 | tag: Dublin

David Maroto (DAI, 2013) ~ “I discovered that the specificity of the artist’s novel is to be found in the process of its creation, as much as in the text printed on its pages.”

04.05.16 | tag: Rotterdam

Rei Kakiuchi (DAI, 2013) “My artistic practice focuses on the oscillation between presence and absence, in other words, the revolving doors of life and death.”

Eric Philippoz (DAI, 2012) ~ “It’s liberating to just do things – destroy walls, tear down the layers…asking what you want to keep and what you want to replace it with. The process of renovation is about how you fill in a space and perform your life in there.”

16.04.16 | tag: Ayent

Doris Denekamp (DAI, 2011) ~ “Through studying how we have become what we are, we can begin to imagine something else.”

Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa (DAI, 2011) “The most important thing I brought with me from the DAI was finding a way to present my work, not just technically, but really finding a way to deliver it.”

21.03.16 | tags: Rotterdam, Lisbon

Yunjoo Kwak (DAI, 2011) ~ “Would it be possible to re-invent a ‘better’ future of collective-individualistic architecture? How might that ‘better’ future be worked?”

20.03.16 | tags: Seoul, Amsterdam, London

Lado Darakhvelidze (DAI, 2010) ~ “When you are running with fire and you want to bring fire to people you can’t hide it.”

04.03.16 | tags: Tbilisi, Arnhem

Veridiana Zurita (DAI, 2010) ~ “Are we in perpetual state of recovery? Can it be overcome?”

03.01.16 | tags: São Paulo, Brussels

Teresa María Díaz Nerio (DAI, 2009) ~ “I am un-trapping myself and decolonizing myself. Of course, I hope that through my own decolonization people get inspired.”

02.01.16 | tags: Santa Domingo, Amsterdam

Rana Hamadeh (DAI, 2009) ~ “What if justice is the degree to which one can access theatre?”

02.01.16 | tags: Beirut, Rotterdam

Nikos Doulos (DAI, 2008) ~ “In order to produce a counter narrative, we have to try to map the city’s narrative and link it to related global narratives.”

01.01.16 | tags: Athens, Amsterdam

Julien Grossmann (DAI, 2008) ~ “I am interested in looking at music beyond music itself, through the prism of its social-historical backgrounds. Audio, sound, and music are exciting fields through which to think of globalization and its dynamics."

01.01.16 | tags: Metz, Rotterdam

Teresa Borasino (DAI, 2005) ~ “We don’t have time for representation, to talk about the problem, paint it, draw it, stage it. We have to solve it. Each of us from our own capacities.”
