Roberto Voorbij – Q&A

Roberto Voorbij – Q&A

Roberto Voorbij is a multidisciplinary artist apart from working with ‘ready made’ materials, he works with video, 3D Software and (digital) collage. Commerciality and public space are recurring themes in Voorbij’s work. What highly fascinates him about this is the underlying history, politics and marketing strategy of our seemingly neutral environment. His works are often socially critical. Another recurring theme concerns the art world/art market and the way in which the artist manifests itself here, as well as the autonomy of the artwork that’s being questioned.
