Theun Mosk

Theun Mosk was born and raised in the north of Friesland. The Wadden landscape has shaped him and is part of who he is. In 2003, he was one of the young artists who followed a workshop at The Watermill Center. As a recent graduate of the Rietveld Academy, he became acquainted with the working methods of Robert Wilson. Mosk is known for his theatre productions and the design of exhibitions. He also works as an independent artist. In 2008, at the invitation of then Oerol director Joop Mulder, he created the aforementioned performance Walking, with Robert Wilson and theatre maker Boukje Schweigman. With Walking as inspiration, Mosk is now once again working with Wilson to create a route that strengthens the sensory perception of the landscape. “I like working with Theun because we think alike’, Wilson says about Mosk. “We come from a theatre background with a strong interest in architecture and design. Most visual people in theatre are decorators. Theun is not; he thinks in a completely different way. His work is architectural.”
