Bik Van der Pol
Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol
Work collaboratively since 1995. Live and work in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
BIK VAN DER POL Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol work collectively since 1995 as Bik Van der Pol. Their work engages with revitalization of memory in the present and with questions of knowledge and history, thus creating the necessary potential for a dialogue and an ever reforming discourse through which they develop an understanding of situations that surround us. Their projects engage with functionality, usability and site sensitivity, concerned with interaction at an institutional and intimate, local level. They aim to improve situations, add what is missing, highlight what is in the dark and to open rather than close. Based on co-operation as a working method, they explore the format of the ?platform?, understood as continuously in a state of becoming, as a construction for ways of thinking. Circulation of knowledge and re-use of existing and left-over spaces, forms and situations are important strategic tools in their work. Critically and constructively they address 'normal' situations. Not by adding yet another new idea to the cycle of production and consumption, but by revising and re-activating an existing situation. Notions of detachement, such as displacement, reconstruction and copy, allow something to outgrow its original roots, boundaries or limitations, and can be mobilized as instruments to enclose a collection or intellectual domain to critically explore its potential. www.bikvanderpol.net
