Ine Gevers (born 1960 in Valkenswaard) is a Dutch curator of contemporary art, writer and activist. Gevers is known for large themed exhibitions in which she (often with others) explores the relationships between technology, power and identity. [1] She has been called one of The Netherlands' most radical curators.[2]

Education

[edit]

Gevers studied art history and philosophy at Utrecht University and graduated with a study on Modernism in Europe, which resulted in the exhibition Janus de Winter, de schilder mysticus at the Centraal Museum and a publication of the same name.[3] She worked as assistant-curator at the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven and then went to Almere, directing the exhibition space the Aleph and preparing the grounds for the Museum De Paviljoens. From 1988 to 2000 she was head of Department Studium Generale at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, where she curated several internationally acknowledged exhibitions and symposia such as Place Position Presentation Public in 1992.[citation needed]

Work

[edit]

In 1994 she curated the art exhibition I + The Other, Art and the Human Condition (Dutch: Ik + de ander), together with Hester Alberdingk Thijm and assistant curator Jeanne van Heeswijk.[4] As founding director of the De Center, center of neuro diverse cultures, she organised Encountering the Culture of the Norm, a multi-visual seminar in collaboration with Martijn Dekker and Gunilla Gerland.[5][6] With Stichting De Geuzen Amsterdam she realized with Temporary Sanity an alternative plea when considering madness and motive. For Stichting Interart she wrote the manifest Artists with Agenda’s and lectured on Diaspora Consciousness. In 2007 she became the founding Director of the Niet Normaal Int, which has organised several biennial-like art manifestations and exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK .[7] In 2016 she curated an exhibition called Hacking Habitat in a former jailhouse in Utrecht, featuring works by artists including William Kentridge, Andres Serrano, and Melanie Bonajo,[8] whose message was that technology can function like a prison.[9]

Gevers lectured on her work at VIVA[10] and works as a tutor at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, HISK Antwerpen, Dutch Design Academy Eindhoven, Dutch Art Institute Enschede, and HKU Utrecht.[citation needed] She is an art collection advisor and director of, among others, the Fentener van Vlissingen Fund. In 2020 she founded the Future of Work (FOW) foundation as a vehicle for crafting an inclusive and diverse future of work.
