Louwrien Wijers (Aalten, 1941) is a pioneering artist who works extensively with language, listening and conversation. She made her name with “mental sculptures”: works of art consisting of language and dialogue. During her career, Louwrien has spoken with various prominent artists, scientists and thinkers, including Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol and the Dalai Lama. During the online event, Louwrien will discuss her work in more detail and there will be an opportunity for viewers to ask questions.
