Marjolein Guldentops is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brussels. Her practice delves into the interplay between language, place, and urban rhythms, incorporating graphic and typographic elements, spatial compositions, and song-like sequences. Through her work, Guldentops engages with a diverse range of linguistic systems, leveraging the ambiguity and conventionality of language to convey multiple layers of meaning and interpretation. Her artistic expressions take on various forms, spanning performance, drawing, publication, and installation. Currently, she is participating in the Fresh A.I.R. residency program at Urban Nation in Berlin.
