Researches focus on domestic interiors (questioning relations among culture of dwelling, domestic architecture and modernity), on museography and on preserving and diffusing collective memory (connecting the museographic issues with the domestic ambit). Moreover, his research-by-design activity is addressed towards adaptive reuse and valorisation of minor/neglected heritage – among which also the one coming from conflicts – by recurring to sustainable re-active-action strategies stressing the relationship between collective memory and cultural identity, and putting the resources of architecture in the public interest.

Shanghai, University of Vilnius, RMIT Melbourne, Nordic Art Academy
Kokkola, Luca Leuven in Belgium.
Juul van den Heuvel focuses mainly on large-scale charcoal drawings and oil paintings, depicting time and memory. The works become a capsule were time and memory are being conserved (bottled). In the drawings van den Heuvel works with the formal (technical) laces of drawing: the act of drawing, the line, the surface, material and the carrier of the drawing. In the past few years’ hair was a starting topic. From ponytail to hair-landscapes, from landscapes to line experiments. Working with large-scale murals to small paper installations van den Heuvel is now using everyday objects to work with and on, exploring the carrier of the drawing. The work of van den Heuvel has been shown in numerous galleries as well as Art Fairs, such as the Kunst-Rai Amsterdam , Melbourne Artfair, Australia, Art Basel , Switzerland, Arte Hollandesa contemporana, Evora, Portugal. Yvonne Dröge Wendel (1961) lives and works in Amsterdam.
Head of Rietveld Fine Arts departmentThe artist is concerned with the relationship between people and objects, and the quest for challenging new ways of relating to things. Dröge Wendel sets up experimental encounters and aims to capture what it is that objects actually do.
Things have been a source of inspiration for scientists, designers and artists for centuries. Where others try to find answers, Dröge Wendel is engaged in making the questions tangible and personal and her intention is to allow for open-ended results. Her fascination for things led her into wedlock with Wendel, a decorative cabinet, whose name she officially bears since 1992. Her projects have been shown internationally in galleries and museums throughout the last 20 years. Furthermore she works on commissions for public space and presently she is doing a PhD research at the University of Twente. In 2006 she initiated the project an Architecture of Interaction, a tool to conceptually investigate interactive projects.
