About this site
Parallel Ports is a site maintained by the artists Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum. It contains information about their art projects, and news about recent and upcoming activities.
Iratxe Jaio & Klaas van Gorkum have worked together since 2001, producing performances, videos, publications and installations. In their practice they analyse and question commonplace notions of authorship, cultural identity and labour relations.
The artists occasionally publish critical reflections on art, culture and social issues at postpolitikak.org
