Zoro Feigl
The installations by Zoro Feigl (1983, Amsterdam) seem to be alive. His materials dance and spin. Placed together in one space, the separate works become one: large and cumbersome in some places, nervous or graceful in others.
Feigl's forms are constantly changing, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. The exhibition space becomes an enlarged microscope: single-celled creatures and primitive organisms writhe, groan and convulse. With no beginning or end, the objects seem to be locked within themselves. As a viewer, you become entangled in their movements: they embrace and amaze you, but sometimes they also frighten you.
Zoro Feigl lives and works between Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Antwerp, Belgium. He graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and the Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Ghent. His work has been shown internationally at various exhibitions, including the Mori Art Museum Tokyo, SPACE Pittsburgh USA, KisArt Busan Korea, National Art Museum of China, Galeria de Arte do SESI Sao Paulo, Artplay Moscow, A+B Contemporary Italy, 0gms Sofia Bulgaria, Verbeke Foundation Belgium, Kulturhuset Stockholm, Self Surface Stuttgart, Black Door Istanbul and various institutes in the Netherlands such as Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, MU, DordtYart, Het Nieuwe Instituut, W139, Arti et Amicitea and Fons Welters. His work can be found in international museum collections such as HeART museum Herning Denmark, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, Rijksmuseum Twenthe Enschede, Museum Voorlinden Wassenaar and the Verbeke Foundation Belgium. He has also completed various commissions for public spaces, such as the work ECHO for the Ministry building in The Hague and Rock&Roll for the National Archives in Emmen, NL. He won the Volkskrant Visual Arts Public Award in 2013 and the Witteveen+Bos Art+Technology Award in 2018, and has been nominated for Dutch Artist of the Year every year since 2021.
