Artist statement

Judy van Luyk and her approach to art seem to protest contemporary culture and its focus on market value and real estate. She likes the challenge of creating work for a specific location, which is why her work takes place mostly outside the "White cube" and more in public space. Her work is characterized by installations, wall objects, video, photography, performance and guerrilla actions, in which imperfections are put on a pedestal. In some of her projects, she creates patterns, by systematically drilling holes with a drill until the object begins to fall apart. Her videos reflect the decay, because for Judy it is important to allow imperfections; it is precisely these details that make life exciting and a city vibrant.
