NUCLEO cre­a­tes spa­ce for the artis­tic devel­op­ment of pro­fes­si­o­nal visu­al artists. The organisation offers qua­li­ty, affor­da­ble stu­dios in and around Ghent. It also provides space for experimentation and presentation, encou­ra­ging artists to take ini­ti­a­ti­ve and experiment. At NUCLEO I am responsible for policy & future: I further develop the organisation and set out its trajectory for the coming years.

I collaborate with artists, designers, architects and others in the cultural field. I write texts such as artist statements, bios, press and exhibition texts. I also organise exhibitions, often taking on larger projects, focusing on communication and organisatorial aspects.

Artshizzle specialises in mediation and organises art-based activities and workshops. I co-founded the company together with Rozemarijn De Keyser, who now continues it since I started working at NUCLEO.
