Meet-a-Maker is a 30-minute session to have a one-on-one talk with artists currently working at Mediamatic. We are lucky to be inspired by the many artists who work and stay with us for exhibitions, residencies and workshops. We welcome you to meet them and be inspired as well!
About the artist
Alice Héron (France, 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist and chef working in between Amsterdam and Berlin. Graduated from Design Lab at Rietveld Academy, she creates sensory food experiences, site specific environments, as well as visceral sculptures evoking a scary, but beautiful feeling of following intuition.
Through different mediums Alice investigates how our bodies sense and interact with one another. Her work focuses on sensual and corporeal organic shapes invading our manufactured space and daily life, questioning the way nature is used and consumed.
Currently, Alice Héron explores the idea of "gut feeling" by observing how her work as a professional cook nourishes her sculptural-driven artistic practice. She is interested in the relationship between care, intuition and guts; what we eat and how we feel; and how we digest feelings and food. How can food and art relate to the inside feelings that shape our social behaviors and decision-making?
Alice is currently producing Neo Futurist Dinner 16 The Dinner of the Damned together with Martin Butler. In the past, they produced The Sin Eaters with Mediamatic.
Alice speaks English and French.
