Frederiek Simons (b. 1996, NL)

I am a textile artist, researcher, and writer based in Amsterdam. Through my work runs a tangible thread spun from questions about materials, patterns, hierarchies, history and traditions. Combining traditional and artistic research methods, I seek to unravel these themes and explore how they can be interlaced in new ways.

I received my BFA from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 2019, and I am currently part of the rMA programme Artistic Research at the University of Amsterdam. My work and research have been presented in various contexts, such as the Icelandic Textile Center, Textielfestival x Leiden, Fashion Biennale Arnhem, and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

My writing has been published in print and online, among which metropolism.com, Simulacrum, and Locus-Magazine for Cultural Sciences. I have also worked as an editor and project assistent at State of Concept and De Nederlandsche Bank Art Team.
