Hi! I'm Kim Vermeulen (1995), a printmaker, illustrator, curator and art historian living in Groningen, the Netherlands. As an illustrator and printmaker, I mostly enjoy working with analog techniques such as linocut and woodcut. I design and print silkscreen gig posters for the venue VERA Groningen. As a curator and art historian, my interests lie in modern and contemporary art, with a main focus on women artists, self-representation and art concerning gender and sexuality. The importance of modern and contemporary art and design, in all of its diversity and varieties, and the (re)interpretation of this, are highly valued by me. I also have knowledge about art from Groningen, from the beginnings of De Ploeg to post-war Groningen. I am able to work as a freelancer for your organisation. Please contact me if you have questions, projects or commissions!
