Abstract

Madelon Hooykaas (born Maartensdijk, The Netherlands, 1942) ought to be acknowledged as one of the most representative visual artists in europe for her enduring and pioneering experimentation in contemporary art. Since the 1960s, Hooykaas has developed a rigorous artistic practice and visual research in photography, film, installation, video, interactive and performance art. Her works revolve around recurring themes that include landscape and nature, water and light, memory and mindfulness, loss and abstraction. Her latest performative drawing project, "Virtual Walls | Real Walls" (2017-18) arrives at the intersection of these themes and practices as it enters the Horsecross Arts museum collection of contemporary art at Perth's Threshold artspace, after its successful iterations in Venice, Amsterdam, Berlin and Perth. This article provides a critical analysis of Hooykaas' film and performance from this exhibition.
