Curriculum vitae

Onno Dirker (Rotterdam, 1965) Kunstenaar

Woont en werkt in Den Haag.
Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten te Den Haag 1986-1990.
Atelier Veldwerk (Luijters-Dirker) vanaf 2003.

Het werk van Onno Dirker vertrekt vanuit een analytische en conceptuele benadering. Onderzoek vormt onderdeel van het werk. De methode van onderzoek is die van ‘de ongerichte blik’, observeren zonder voorafgestelde criteria of richtlijnen. Plannen, ontwerpen en ingrepen kunnen daaruit volgen maar observaties kunnen ook (eind)resultaat zijn. Het doel is het vastleggen van de omgeving; stedelijk en/of landschappelijk; cultureel en sociaal; fysisch of metafysisch.

In 2003 richtte hij samen met kunstenaar Rudy Luijters Atelier Veldwerk op. Het bureau werkt aan projecten die betrekking hebben op de inrichting van het landschap en de stedelijke ruimte, in de brede zin van het woord, steeds vanuit het perspectief van de beeldende kunst. Naast de onderzoeksprojecten, publicaties en tentoonstellingen zijn realisaties tot stand gekomen in de vorm van o.a. monumenten, tuinen en parken.

English:

Born Rotterdam, 1965.
Visual artist. Lives and works in The Hague.
Royal Academy The Hague, 1986-1990.
Atelier Veldwerk (Luijters-Dirker) since 2003.

His work starts from an analytical and conceptual approach. Sense of place lies at the heart of his work. Any landscape is formed by a myriad of layers, whether they are cultural or economic, physical or metaphysical.

In 2003, together with the artist Rudy Luijters he formed Atelier Veldwerk, to investigate the concept of public space within the context of the visual arts. Doing research from a cultural perspective without establishing criteria or predefined guidelines results into a method that could be described as ‘the unfocused gaze’.

Beside research, publications, film, performances, installations and exhibitions, work is realized in the form of eg sculptures, monuments, landscape design, gardens and parks.

    The motives are permanent and the work can be activated at any time.
