Biography Dorine van Meel:
Dorine van Meel has exhibited at international venues including the South London Gallery, KW Institute in Berlin, Nottingham Contemporary, Transmediale, the 10th Berlin Biennale, and Extra City.
Her collective projects reflect a commitment to feminist and self-organized methodologies, and include The Southern Summer School (BAK, Utrecht), Gentle Dust (Jupiter Woods & Berlin Biennale), and In the Eye of the Storm (rile*, Brussels).
From 2023 to 2025, she directed Planetary Poetics, a master’s program at the Sandberg Institute focused on the ecological crisis and the ways cultural practitioners can engage with, respond to, and intervene in it. She currently teaches at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

"Oh yes, I will practice my canon proudly, a golden image of stark blue skies, of dams and dykes and waterworks, masters and guilds, and how they transformed into dedicated directors, offshore engineers, shiny-looking cars on lease claim our streets, with logos of well-designed brands stuck to their windows – one empty baby seat in the back" - fragment of 'Beyond the Nation State I want to Dream'
From November 2025 onward, we will gradually open the newly renovated additional spaces at Enough Room for Space. Dorine van Meel will be the first resident in our new expanded residency facilities. During her writing residency, she will start the research for a new text and soundwork.
Dorine van Meel (1984) is a Dutch artist based in Brussels whose work spans moving image installations, performances, and publications. Her practice addresses various socio-political questions, using poetic language to expose current power structures while also exploring modes of resistance.
