The next Ignite Amsterdam will be held on March 27. Get your tickets online. Gareth Wynne Fitzpatrick will create his human bird nest in our Mediamatic Fabriek.

Edinburgh based artist working in performance and sculpture, Gareth uses the Natural world and concepts of the physicality and the body as starting points for much of his work.

"Our relationships with and our attitudes towards what is perceived as the natural world constantly fascinates me and informs my practice. I am hugely looking forward to my time at Mediamatic as my reading of much of the work produced here is how it questions and reflects upon these relationships."
