Philosophy

Aimée was born in Culemborg, attended secondary school in Zeist and then studied philosophy in Amsterdam. In the two years that followed, she discovered that studying like this didn’t make her happy. It was time for change. Aimée chose the arts and enrolled at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, the bold and exciting art school in Amsterdam from which she recently graduated.

TXT

After her basic year at the Academy, she studied TXT, short for Text, Context, Textiles. Within the department, the relationship between materiality and the written word is examined from various perspectives. It's about making and thinking, hand and head. This combination can lead to extraordinary results.

Exciting and inimitable

What to think of Aimée's graduation thesis? In it she makes 'a humorous and semi-pornographic attempt to dismantle neoliberal capitalism in the realm of sensuality'. Exciting and inimitable, that's how you might describe Aimée's work. In any case, her work arouses curiosity.
