Philippine Hoegen

Philippine Hoegen is a visual artist living in Brussels. Her current research at the HKU Professorship Performative Creative Processes, is titled Performing Working, and harnesses the ambiguities of the terms ‘work’ and ‘performance’ in a fertile crossover of the two. “If we consider all work as a performance, what can that tell us about what that work demands from us, how it shapes our sense of self, what we need to work in a sustainable and joyful way, and how we can support/be supported in that work?“

Recent activities: residency/presentations at Kunsthal Gent, What is Work? (03-2021/04-2022); the publication In these circumstances: On collaboration, performativity, self-organisation and transdisciplinarity in research-based practices (editor, a.pass/Onomatopee publications, 2022); her book ANOTHER VERSION: Thinking Through Performing, (Onomatopee publications, 2020)
