Maaike Gouwenberg
Bits and pieces about my life before joining the curatorial training programme at De Appel.
After some half done studies, including theater and film studies and fine arts, I ended up in an artists initiative in Utrecht called Expodium, platform voor jonge kunst.
Learning from my studies how to create and how to watch films, I was soon quite capable of communicating with artists from various fields. This resulted in shows with artists who just graduated (Like Anne Schiffer, Marcel van den Berg, Gerbrand Burger and many more) to artists who had a residency at De Rijksakademie (Jeremiah Day, Igor Sevcuk). To keep my love for theater warm, I also invited theater makers who just graduated or who where interested to experiment with theater in the exhibition space. The most interesting project which came out of that was Beheerst Onbeheerst (restrained unrestrained) by Fabian Holle, now part of theater group Ponies.
Besides Expodium, I worked a lot with artist Maria Pask. She is one of the most inspiring persons I met over the last years. She gave me the passion for art which doesn't have to have a fixed outcome, that keeps possibilities open without becoming optional.
Keeping this in mind, I am very happy to be at De Appel, in a great struggle where six different minds come together to make it happen.

Camila Marambio began her curatorial investigations as curatorial assitant at LACE, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. Later, she dedicated her BA thesis in aesthetics to the search of a definition of the curatorial in Chile and accompanied her theoretical work with a series of exhibitions at ESPACIOCAL, a cultural center in Santiago. She went on to get her MA in modern art and curatorial studies from Columbia University and worked as assistant curator at EXIT ART in New York City for two years. Independently, she has been experimenting with different ways of curating video art and writing.
