Anne de Vries (b. 1977, Den Haag, Netherlands) is an artist whose work ranges from video installations, dioramas, sculptures and mixed media collages, publications, inventions and interventions. Anne's body of work forms a labyrinth of interrelated narratives often based on popular culture, subcultures and self-invented characters and themes. Interconnectivity between differently perceived realities play a central role in Anne’s artworks, and lends the works a hybrid appearance. It invites the viewer to re-establish a story's hidden character or object's possible function and by that illuminates the process of making meaning of a work of art.
Anne de Vries works have been shown at several institutions, biennials and galleries worldwide, such as KUMU Art Museum (Tallinn), ZKM (Karlsruhe), Cell Projects (London), The 9th Berlin Biennale, MOMENTUM Nordic Biennale (Moss, NO), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), MAMbo, (Bologna), Frans Hals Museum (Haarlem), NEST (Hague), Foam Museum (Amsterdam), Manifesta Foundation (NLD), PS1 MoMa (New York), Centre Culturel Suisse (FR), New Wight Biennial (Los Angeles), Museum Angewandte Kunst (Frankfurt am Main), The Moving Museum (Istanbul), and FRAGILE (Berlin).
