25 Oct–16 Nov
‘On grid’ – ULRIXA: Eva van Ooijen, Sixin Zeng, Nicole Driessens, Karma Hamed, Ivo van den Baar, Wout Peeters, installation/ multi disciplinary
Encounters, discoveries, and decisions shape every life. After two years of experimentation, ULRIXA has now reached a pivotal moment in its development. Nieuw Charlois has invited ULRIXA to showcase this critical phase of its artistic journey in an exhibition. The physical space of Nieuw Charlois has played a significant role in determining the selection of works and the presentation method.
In preparation for the opening on October 25, 2025, months of intensive work have been dedicated to this extensive new collection, which builds upon the three previous exhibitions held at Kunstpodium-T Tilburg—where ULRIXA was awarded the Jan Naaijkens Prize—and Willem II in 's-Hertogenbosch.
ULRIXA represents an ongoing exploration of personal history and its relationship to art, connecting themes of travel, family, and home to broader issues such as migration, gender, feminism, and the environment. These themes are expressed through recurring materials and techniques, including photography, AI, textiles, film, and ceramics. The resulting images question and reinforce each other while maintaining their individual autonomy.
This collaborative process is evident in the work of the six artists affiliated with ULRIXA—Eva van Ooijen, Karma Hamed, Nicole Driessens, Sixin Zeng, Ivo van den Baar, and Wout Peeters—who have been working together for two years on projects like "On Grid."
