The Knight's Move: Jasmijn Visser

The Knight's Move is a series of lectures by eminent international speakers who stand out by their unusual, enlightening and inspirational visions concerning the city, urbanity, the public domain, and community. Just as the knight moves in an atypical and unusual way across the chessboard, The Knight’s Move likewise wants to cut across all disciplines and thus stimulate rethinking the city. The engaging talks are followed by a dialogue with the audience, moderated by Patrick van der Hijden (Angl).

The Knight's Move

Jasmijn Visser is a Dutch artist who works from a fascination with human organization. Her lecture is an articulation of an underlying awareness that facts, when reorganised into a narrative, will always become fiction.
A large part of Visser’s practice is long-term on-site research: she spent a month for example researching an open coal mine in Siberia, and studying the Atlas van Loon and related atlases in Museum van Loon for the project Bachelor’s Delight. She also undertook a three-month expedition to the Falkland Islands as the start of a research project on the Falkland conflict.
During her lecture, Visser will use material from these projects and her most recent one Serf Club (working title) to raise questions on the geopolitical side of human organisation: how centres influence distant peripheries, haphazard events ignite conflicts, how conflicts can instigate unexpected forms of migration, how the tradition of cartography shaped our worldview, and how the timeline dictates the way we view history.
Jasmijn Visser works and lives in Berlin and Utrecht. She participated in the program at De Ateliers (2011) and studied at the Utrecht School of the Arts (2007). From September until December 2016 she will take part in the residency program at Delfina Foundation, London. In January 2017 she will present her Conflict Atlas at the Allard Pierson Museum/Special Collections in Amsterdam, accompanied by an exhibition. 
Please join this evening for mind-boggling geographic leaps and and questions about the here and now.
