JANZEN+BROEDERS

Ed Janzen and Collette Broeders (Janzen+Broeders) have been collaborating since 2020. Their work consists of performative large-scale drawings and video installations expressed through drawing and rhythmic movement. Written text, surroundings of place, and tactile sensory experience influence the work. Their individual practices share an interest in mark-making, walking, and the use of text.

Expression of movement, interactivity, and dialogue form an integral performative aspect to the work. To guide the work, a set of three rules are created by the artists each time they engage in performative drawing. These performances often last hours in site-specific private or public areas, in quarries, in forests, in barns and along paths. The artists respond to the space using their bodies as instruments of absorption and inscription into the textures of the surface.
