Maja Klaassens: A Line of Stones

New Zealand born Maja Klaassens is a multidisciplinary artist working with sculpture, photography, painting, video, and text. Her work explores the ways narrative techniques used in film and literature influence our experiences, memories, and perceptions of place. Adopting literary devices and a heightened attention to detail, her practice is grounded in the persistent study of editing.

Maja Klaassens (1989, New Zealand) obtained her BFA from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 2014, and her MA in Contemporary Art History from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2021. Recent solo and duo exhibitions include ’The view is total sea’ at Joys in Toronto, Canada, 'Niek Kemps & Maja Klaassens’ at lxhxb in Eindhoven, Netherlands and ‘Orca’ at Dürst Britt & Mayhew. Recent group exhibitions include  'Reality Check' at Museum MORE in Ruurlo, The Netherlands,  ‘Mountain Friends’ at Fred & Ferry in Antwerp, Belgium, ‘After Daan van Golden’ at Parts Project and ‘RSVP’ at Billytown, both in The Hague.
