About Sander Dragt

Atelier Ief Spincemaille is run by the Belgian visual artist Ief Spincemaille. His artistic journey spans visual art, design, media art, photography and performance. He works in bicycle factories, prisons, housing estates, etc. Exploring the boundaries of his field of work, he plays with its existing frameworks and shapes. Not just for the joy of playing a formal game, but out of a need for new forms that better respond to his imagination and the challenges of our modern world.
