Philippe Van Wolputte
Philippe Van Wolputte (*1982, Antwerp, Belgium), lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Philippe Van Wolputte’s interventions draw attention to the existence of vacant, disused spaces by making them accessible again for a short period of time. Van Wolputte’s working method puts the emphasis on reconstructions of unused spaces, raising the question what defines public space. In this direction, the space itself becomes a camouflage for the artist, a stage where questions about use and interpretation can arise, reflecting on the idea of authenticity and aesthetic honesty of the artistic practice.
