Nina Jan (1986) is a conceptual artist, performer and director, lately mostly working between the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain. Her conceptual work that covers the fields of performance art, installation, film and internet art often investigates audience friendly ways for interactivity as well as questions the default settings of artistic media, artistic processes and the creative position of the author herself. Within the À la Cart Performance Webshop she has become increasingly interested in developing alternative marketing strategies for performance art practices and exposing the effects of Post-Fordist production on the artistic realities. She is currently also setting up an online museum called the Museum of (un)sent emails, which, by its detail use of certain structural elements and curatorial practices in various ways introduces Duchampian institutional critique. At the same time, her email museum proposes a detailed research into the multitudes of individual voices hidden among the mass e-communication and exposes their charming beauty. Nina is also a co-founder of KUD NUM, multidisciplinary artistic collective.
