Bio
Iratxe Jaio was born in Basque Country, but lives currently in the Netherlands. Klaas is Dutch, but has lived in Africa for most of his youth. As partners from different geographical and social backgrounds, they share between them a keen interest in what makes up cultural identity. Their artistic practice revolves around the visualization of the relation between people and their environment. Their work is often said to be political, as it brings to the surface contradictions and conflicts that may exist between individual and collective experience.
In 2008 they have been awarded with the Gure Artea 2008, the most important prize for artists in tha Basque Country, with the videos Desde aquí hasta ahí and Showroom. Currently, they are writing a monthly article for Mugalari, the cultural supplement of the Basque newspaper Gara.
