Founder and organizer of Performance Site (P.S.) since 2015. From 2007 to 2013 I developed a series of performances to provoke people out of their comfort zones. In 2009 Jolanda was selected for the Mentoring Program for emerging artists and curators of ‘Cultuur en Ondernemen and was mentored by Ulay.

Jolanda’s approach to performance art is finding a balance between studying formal material in relation to the body in movement and its uncontrolled stages. In my latest performance series Paper Study #, since 2015, this basic material paper gives me the opportunity to put the formal material in contrast with the intuitive body.

Jolanda participated in Flow in 2021 and gave a wonderful presentation at Flow 2022 exploring the capacity of paper as material.

OoS COLLECTIVE 2024 - PRESENT

Spanish visual artist, performer, independent cultural activist and teacher. A graduate in Fine Arts and scholarship in Athens (Greece) and Havana (Cuba). Official Master's Degree in Artistic Production and Research at the UGR.

Her work moves between video performance and live action art, media to which she has been intensely dedicated since 2007. She conceives artistic practice as an act closely linked to life, which is why her work is connected to her most intimate feelings, thoughts and emotions. She is interested in the seemingly insignificant, the playful and the absurd with a work that arises from the here and now and in which she leaves a special space for intuition.

She has participated in numerous festivals, action art meetings and national and international residencies, both in art centres and museums in Spain and in Finland, Germany, Canada, Morocco, Ukraine, Lithuania, Austria and Norway, among others. She co-coordinates the research and creation project EXCHANGE Live Art and gives workshops in art centres, universities and independent spaces.
