Gabriëlle Schleijpen

Alongside her position as the artistic director of the Dutch Art Institute in Arnhem (its entirely re-invented format set in motion by her in 2003) Gabriëlle  Schleijpen, at the generous invitation of the ArtEZ University of the Arts, has been entrusted with the establishment of a new "centre of expertise", an interface between academic research and the world. The on-and off line research centre Schleijpen anticipates is closely intertwined with the DAI's long-standing praxis as a Roaming Academy and seeks to probe and bolster non-hegemonic, meaningful, affective and effective artistic relations and intellectual transactions between progressive and articulate art & research communities world wide. Working title: The Roaming Centre for Authorised and Unauthorised Expertise on the Planetary Campus. 

Schleijpen is furthermore active as the honorary chair of the supervisory boards of If I Can't Dance I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution as well as of MetropolisM, among other advisory activities.
