Dutch Artist Job Koelewijn works and lives in Amsterdam. He studied at the Rietveld Academy and the Sandberg institute in Amsterdam and stayed as an artist in residence at PS1 in New York. Koelewijn creates conceptual, sensual pieces that include photographs, films, architectural pieces, small objects and huge installations. Text, especially poetry plays in important role in his works. But he also speaks to different senses with smells, sounds and sensible pieces. His installations are very personal and mostly temporary. He exhibited his work at a great variety of exhibitions, like the Venice Biennial in 1999 and 2001. Recent solo shows include: De Pont, Tilburg (2008), Stella Lohaus Gallery, Antwerp, (2007), Museum de Paviljoens in Almere (2005), Art Basel 35 (2004). His work is part of collections such as MUHKA, Antwerp, De Pont, Tilburg, Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. He received several awards for his work. In 1999 Job Koelewijn had a solo exhibition at de Appel.
