After winning the Jan Naaijkens Prize 2024 in Kunstruimte-T Tilburg ULRIXA will present new work in Willem II Kunstruimte Den Bosch from 11 – 26th of January 2025′
The large industrial space, (25 x 30 meters) led to a scale up of the ideas of ULRIXA in which also the wokrs grow in size, connecting with the possibilities of
the space.

ULRIXA exsist of the six visual artists Karma Hamed, Eva van Ooijen, Wout Peeters, Nicole Driessems, Sixing Zeng and Ivo van den Baar.
Growing Pains is ULRIXA’s third show, in which she took the characteristics and the sizes of the space in Willem II as the
starting point for new art works, originated from the works from the first two shows. Scaling up works and ideas was one of the elements
that resulted in six large scale works in the large exhibition hall of Willem II.
This project is made possible by the support of Kunstpodium-T, Willem II Kunstruimte, Jan Naaijkens Prize 2024 and Mondrian Fund.
ULRIXA, the six artists embrace the resistance that these growing pains provoke and the resilience that enables them to get through them. After all,
growing pains serve a purpose: it allows us to move forward and develop. As the starting point of the exhibition, the artists take their personal
similarity with ULRIXA and build on them. With individual and collective works in textiles, video, transparency, storytelling an AI, among other things,
that explore themes such as the environment, migration,and identity, they investigate what their own place is within a whole and invite us
viewers to ask this question of ourselves.

The opening of “Growing Pains” has been performed by Veerle Driessen, curator and write of Tubelight.
