A real site-specific artist.
About
Jeannette Slütter is a multidisciplinary artist who explores systems both within and beyond the art world, with a particular focus on their relationship to architecture. These man-made systems include not only explicit structures, such as rules and floor plans, but also the unwritten norms that often go unquestioned.
The environment—whether an exhibition space, residency, or specific location—plays a crucial role in shaping and deepening her work. Through site-specific installations, she tells stories using performance, ceramics, glass, metal, photography, and video.
The work makes both formal structures and unwritten conventions visible, showing how control and “normal” behavior are built into space. It does not aim to only criticize these systems, but to challenge their assumed naturalness and invite reflection.
In January 2027, she will start at the Jan van Eyck Academie (Post–Academy for Art, Design and Reflection) in Maastricht (NL).
