Philippine Hoegen is an artist based in Belgium and The Netherlands, working mainly with performance as an artistic medium, a dissemination form and as a research strategy. Hoegen is currently a researcher and PD Candidate at the Professorship Expanding Artistic Practices, HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, with the project Performing Working*, in which she looks at work through the lens of performance and performance through the lens of work. Who are we when we work, and who are we when we don’t, or can’t? She problematises the championing of waged work above all other activities and its status as a condition for citizenship and social participation. She looks at the social exclusion that this causes for different people, exploring the value of hidden and unwaged work and the dynamics of the invisibilisation of those doing it.
* Performing Working is a Professional Doctorate project conducted in HKU University of the Arts Utrecht as part of a new, practice-led professional education line that started in 2023 within Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences, equivalent to a PhD.
