Based in Amsterdam, Maartje Fliervoet’s art practice aims to make space for the undefined as a way of thinking. Her work has been shown at: Institut de Carton (Brussels), Wiels CAC (Brussels), Kunstverein Göttingen (Göttingen), Grimmuseum (Berlin), Kunsthal Ghent (Ghent), de Appel (Amsterdam), Rozenstraat (Amsterdam) and Kunstverein (Amsterdam). She is the initiator of Manifold Books, a project space looking into relations between book space and exhibition space.

Departing from her interest in formlessness, Maartje Fliervoet looks for moments that escape mechanisms of categorisation. Opposite to pinning something down, being confronted with that which we cannot immediately 'grasp' creates a certain space, a distance. She sees such indeterminacy as a form of resistance, possibly revealing underexposed storylines.
