Relax. 2007. 27 seconds. The cardboardbox is from a coffeebrand called Relax

From 12 March to 1 May 2010 Galerie Adler ( Frankfurt am Main, Germany) is putting on its first show of works by the artist ANOUK KRUITHOF.

She was born in 1981 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, and now lives and works in Berlin. KRUITHOF studied photography at the St. Joost Academy in Breda. She is fascinated by the emotional and mental condition of people and how this is manifested in behaviour and act in society and time in which she lives. The starting point is her personal experience or fascination with a subject and in her project based work she combines the conceptual thinking with aesthetics. Photography is her main medium, but since 2008 she started to work with installation, video and performative actions.

ANOUK KRUITHOF is very much interested in the printed book as a form to show her projects. She published 3 artistbooks: Playing borders (2009), Becoming Blue (2009) and the Black Hole icw Jaap Scheeren (2006).

I also suggest you “Enclosed Content Chatting Away In The Colour Invisibility“, an installation of 4000 books and “Becoming Blue” ( her major work).
