Jonas Vansteenkiste (b. 1984, Kortrijk, Belgium) is a multidisciplinary artist, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent and St. Lucas in Antwerp. His practice spans architectural installations, where the boundaries of space dissolve into psychological intimacy. Through site-specific interventions, Vansteenkiste collaborates with space itself, surrendering to a process that relinquishes control. Architecture, with its inherent rules of intervention, becomes a vessel that listens, unraveling collective participation. His exploration of control and impermanence unfolds as a poetic reflection on loss, memory, and transience.
Vansteenkiste reconfigures the static nature of space into a dynamic site for transformation. This approach mirrors the cyclical nature of A Rose is a Rose is a Rose, where new layers of meaning are discovered, yet meaning itself remains an active potential.
Vansteenkiste has completed residencies in Paris and Berlin and has exhibited internationally
