Kimberly Clark

Netherlands

The artists Iris van Dongen, Eveline van de Griend and Ellemieke Schoenmaker have been working together under the name Kimberly Clark since 2005.

Their photographs, sculptures and installations offer a simultaneously hedonistic and deeply disturbing view of nightlife, showing the concentrated remains of party euphoria imbued with explicit signs of psychological fluctuation. Often verging on excess, their images oscillate between blissfulness, provocation, glamour, desolation, boredom and stimulation.As poetic hooligans who aim to make passionate art, Kimberly Clark produce seismographic recordings of contemporary society.

Their work was included in the Tirana International Contemporary Art Biannual and the 1st Athens Biennale and has been shown among others at Stedelijk Museum ’s-Hertogenbosch and Museum De Hallen in Haarlem.
