Art
Lola Bezemer builds worlds from textile, ceramics and concentration. Her meditative performances and installations invite you not merely to observe, but to build alongside, to be surrounded, to become part of the work. Materials transform beneath your hands, spaces shift, and suddenly you're standing inside a sculpture you've helped create.
Bezemer is fascinated by how environments shape us: how do we relate to space, objects, each other? In her work, power balances shift subtly. Textile functions as a space divider, physically separating people—yet through softness and playfulness, it actually connects them. It's this paradox Bezemer excavates: the threshold that is simultaneously barrier and bridge.
After graduating from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (2013) and receiving a young talent grant from the Mondriaan Fund (2015), Bezemer moved to Lisbon to deepen the performative aspects of her practice. Since then, she has presented work from Iceland to India, from Romania to Japan.
