Nienke Terpsma is an artist and book designer, co-founder and – editor of
Fucking Good Art. From the beginning,
Fucking Good Art was learning-by-doing, we founded our own
MA and PhD degrees, and at the same time we are the director, editor in chief, the assistant, coffee lady/man, and toilet cleaner all rolled into one. Prof. Leszek Brogowski, in a symposium on artistic research, stated: “In this joking vein, Robert Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma are saying something quite serious, which is that – at root – the form of their art is that of research, a thesis to which I wholeheartedly subscribe. In consequence, I myself, Leszek Brogowski, Professor at the University of Rennes 2, [with this paper] am beginning the process of academic validation of the knowledge produced by
Fucking Good Art, by considering their work as part of the history and sociology of contemporary art.” (Leszek Brogowski, in “Art and Knowledge: a scientific sharing of meaning. Understanding art worlds through
Fucking Good Art”, Symposium
