Sander Breure (1985, Leiderdorp, NL) & Witte van Hulzen (1984, Bolsward, NL) both live and work in Amsterdam. Breure graduated from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, and Van Hulzen obtained his degree from Artez in Arnhem. In the performance, installation and video work, photography, drawing, and theatre of Sander Breure and Witte van Hulzen, you can feel the artists’ fascination with the human condition: its interpretation and the encoded structures; the influence of time and place on relationships; behaviour and body language.

Breure and Van Hulzen have been awarded several prizes including the Charlotte Köhler Prize in 2018 and ‘Best Propose’ at the Seoul International NewMedia Festival in 2016. Their work nominated for the Prix de Rome was shown in the accompanying show at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Their work has also been shown in solo and group presentations in the Netherlands and abroad, they had a solo exhibition at Marres, Maastricht (2019) Contour 7 Biennial for the Moving Image, Mechelen, Belgium (2015) and CCA Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw, Poland. Their work is part of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam collection.
