Hi. I’m Cindy Moorman. Visual artist. Among other things. I call my work Staged Encounters: carefully composed playing fields where I bring people, objects, images and ideas together—temporarily. To search together for shapes that give form to connection. The in-between. Because how does connection actually happen? Suddenly there’s something in-between, something that links. Like in tug-of-war. But what? When does connection begin or end? Within these temporary choreographed spaces, I shape every element: from hand-tufted carpets, embroidered sashes, drawn scripts, and colorful sock gatherings to harmonious musical compositions. Each element invites participation—enticing you to think along, search, and engage.
Perhaps you’ve already stepped into my work. At the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, Museum Voorlinden, Museum Arnhem, Paradiso Amsterdam, Kunstverein Ahlen, or elsewhere. Or maybe you’ve heard me speak about it on NPO Radio 4, Kunst is Lang, Tenjinyama Studio (JP) or in Het Parool. If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Not yet? Or curious for more? Two of my works — The Polonaise Walker, The Discoverer, The Observer and The Team and The Guide — can be seen permanently at Levvel and De Alliantie at Tafelbergweg 8 in Amsterdam.
I look forward to crossing paths. Or feel free to email me to arrange a visit.
