Eva Kreuger (she/they) (1995) lives in The Hague. They studied Photography at AKV | St. Joost Breda where they graduated in 2017. She was selected in 2019 by Unseen Foundation for Futures Photography platform and participated in the BredaPhoto International Talent Program. In 2022, she received the Artist Start grant from the Mondriaan Fund.
Kreuger bases their research on the act of collecting. Creating an ever-growing archive of found photographic material, documentation of artistic processes, conversations, machines and objects. Themes she explores in her work include the relationship between photography and transience, photography and space, at the same time they ask questions about shaping an artist’s practice, concerning the value of work and the right to space. Struggling with the flat surface of the photographic medium, she shifts images back and forth between two- and three-dimensional objects as she works on sculptures and installations. When exhibited, the work results often in a site specific installation.
We need to go, where the weeds grow
Collective Cyanotype in collaboration with participants of Teken or Leave It, with text by Stefan Cammeraat
We need to go, where the weeds grow is a collaborative artwork created under the guidance of artist Eva Kreuger. During a workshop at Nieuwe Vide, participants worked with collected objects, photographs, texts, and weeds from the immediate surroundings of the building. These elements were combined and captured as contact prints on various fabrics using the cyanotype technique.
The title refers to the dynamic relationship between artists and the places they temporarily inhabit. Art spaces like Nieuwe Vide illustrate how gentrification and art practices become unintentionally intertwined: as soon as an area begins to change, staying becomes impossible, and it is time to move on—seeking a new place where there is still room for experiment, community, and growth. A place where possibilities remain, where the weeds still grow.
On November 19nd, Eva Kreuger will be giving a second Cyanotype workshop during Teken or Leave It.
