The work of Dutch artist Rita Hoofwijk continually stems from a specific location or context and materialises in different forms, from spatial interventions and installations to audio and text. It requires an attentive way of relating to the (surrounding) environment, first by herself, later by an audience. Hoofwijk is currently an artist-in-residence at SoAP Maastricht and supported by the Performing Arts Fund in the Netherlands.
In 2018 Rita Hoofwijk was part of the residency ‘Engaging the City’ at Metropolis in Copenhagen
In 2021 she created 'Being Here for You', in collaboration with Hannah Loewenthal and In Situ partners Ostfold Internasjonale Teater (Ostfold, Norway) and Oerol (Terschelling, The Netherlands).
In 2021 she presented ‘Finisterre’ an installation and performance at the waterside of Copenhagen at Metropolis: https://bastard.blog/finisterre/
