Artist Spotlight

Merel Noorlander [1984] is a Dutch artist/designer who recently graduated with a Master of Fine Art from the 4D Design Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Merel's work navigates the space between technology, social design, and performance, where they create non-normative stories and a new format of expression within various bodily perspectives. Fundamental to their research is a focus on and aim towards collective empowerment with kinetic installations and (video) performances that interweave sexuality and contemporary objects, set in both public and private domains. They transform varied materials (paper, fiber, metals, silicone) into objects that are capable of contracting, expanding, glowing, or twisting by way of hands, motors, and timers.
