Mila Lanfermeijer Dutch, 1988

Mila Lanfermeijer (b. 1988, Amsterdam) is a visual artist working in different media ranging from textiles, sculpture, writing and video. Interpreting folklore as an active verb, she proposes her works as an homage to the before & in between processes in which beliefs, customs and skills are passed along from one individual to another.  

Interested in didactic methods such as mimicking, exercises, verbal instructions and manuals she explores the conceptual potential of the repeated gesture. She completed the UVA Honours Programme Art & Research in 2010 and earned her BA at the TXT (Text & Textile) department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam in 2011. She was a participant at De Ateliers from 2012 till 2014.
