Resonating memories
In a cloudy pillow installation work, the viewer will find themselves being softly pulled into the pillows by the singing, speaking and humming voice of Tico Geurtzen. They can lean into the work and put their heads in the pillow clouds.
ARTIST BIO

Nostalgia, melancholy, daydreaming and the touch of sound. These themes float around while I revisit my childhood memories. I grew up in the countryside with a warm family and a rich variety of music, art, nature and a childlike curiosity. Ever since I can remember I have been consciously and subconsciously deep listening and singing. Many times I found myself daydreaming, singing, wandering and wondering as a way to sense the world around me. The memories still echo in my body while I am often confronted with the pain of letting go, growing and changing. I want to celebrate the beauty as well as the friction that occurs when reminiscing. By allowing childlike curiosity, exploration, play and experiment, I try to translate these sensations of sound and memory into new forms. I let the memories guide me in audio work, paintings, drawings, mixed media installations and performances.
