1. I love to make things.

2. As an artist I make things. They function as a stage, searching for ways to address and engage the audience. Never by force, always as a proposition.

3. As a performer I make connections between various images, actions and objects. Exploring human strategies through dialogue and seeking common ground to depart from.

4. I use the future as a free space, full of possibilities and other ideas, where people have overcome concepts that form our reality here and now.

As an artist I love to make things, as a performer I use these things or spaces to propose a dialogue with the other. In this dialogue I use my own experiences about feeling urgent, getting inspired by the potentiality of the future.

Residency & performance EVA builds a lighthouse
CLICK FOR THE PROJECT WEBSITE
Strandlab, Almere

During a building period of 10 days artist Eva Schippers will build a 6 meter lighthouse at Strandlab Almere with donated and found materials. Since 2020 Schippers builds her installations with donated and found materials: This started with the build of a spaceship in the Vondelbunker in Amsterdam, and has become an important part of her practise.
So, look around in your sheds and attics and see what you can donate to make this lighthouse happen!

In the end of 2021 the top of this lighthouse was build, the command centre, during a project of The Culturele Stelling Amsterdam in April 2022. This lighthouse, together with 12 other art installations, drove through the city of Amsterdam on flat carts as protest against gentrification. During the build of this command centre Eva Schippers contacted Strandlab Almere to continue building and working on this project. At Strandlab she will elevate the installation with a 2/3 meters stairs.

After the building period the lighthouse will be open for the public! If you want to stop by you can make an appointment here for a one-on-one tour and a performative talk with the artist.
