Mother’s Milk (re)constructs the story of Ilse, the author’s grandmother. Alienated in the psychiatric hospital of La Timone, in Marseille, Ilse resided there from 1952 until her death in 1983. Bringing together archival material, correspondences and conversations narrated via documentary poetry, Marie Ilse Bourlanges assembles the fragments of a family history hiding in plain sight.

An undertow of embodied memory meets the flow of institutional remembrance, drawing parallels between the discarded material of archives and the necessary mechanisms of physiological forgetting. Mother’s Milk offers an intimate journey into madness, intergenerational trauma transmission and the role of artistic research in imagining a possibility of healing.

Read here about Mother's Milk in Metropolis M magazine, a conversation with Liza Prins.

It documents a series of work of the same name that Theuws completed between 1989 and 1990,
with a focus on the process of making art, the constant interplays between mind and matter.

Fourteen emerging artists are about to make the leap from art school to the professional world. During this intense period full of conflicting emotions, they pause for a moment. How do they view art education, the art world and their own work? This new generation of artists will determine the art of the future. Who are they? What will they take with them into the future and what will they leave behind? For everyone who knows the art academy well and for everyone who has never set foot inside.

Cracks found in Amsterdam’s walls and turned into a font. 

"I notice small cracks in the walls of the stairwell of my flat. I take a closer look and realize that some forms strangely evoke letter shapes. I can see an O, an I, an X… All these marks, born from accidents, can be read as typographic signs. My mind starts to instill meaning in these meaningless defects. Language subjugates and distorts my gaze. Walls become the epicenter of communication."
