Nabuurs&VanDoorn were nominated twice for the Follow Fluxus grant in 2008 and 2020. Their works arise between unannounced performances and archival projections, stretched videos and exformational paint overs, architectural installations and theatrical settings, formal paintings and situationist mapmaking, instant photography, and invisible edges. They produce large-scale multidisciplinary projects, and the production often requires the collaboration of several participants: passersby, audiences, and professionals. Experimenting the mechanisms of artistic research and the dramatic impulses of adventure, the artists succeed in transposing self-reflection out of melancholic actions and in revealing the belief systems on which perception of reality relies.
