Liesbeth Bik 和 Jos van der Pol,从1995年开始以Bik Van der Pol的名义在一起工作。他们现在生活工作在鹿特丹。
他们的设计同功能性,实用性及位置的敏感性相吻合,并考虑到公共区域,私人区域及作品本身区域在不同层面上的互动关系。他们的目的旨在提升氛围,添加所缺少的元素,显现处在黑暗的东西,使其变得开阔而不是封闭。
他们的制作方法是以合作为基础,并以此为平台建立各种不同的交流活动。
在Bik van der Pol 的作品中,反复运用知识,重新利用已经存在却被遗忘的空间,形式及情景是非常重要的策略工具。这也是他们批判性地、教育性地强调的东西。不去增加生产与消费循环的新观念,而要修正已经存在的情景并使其重新变得活跃。
他们曾在Witte de With, Rotterdam鹿特丹; Secession, Vienna维也纳 (2005);
Rooseum, Malmo 马尔默,瑞典(2003 1999); Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery,
Tokyo 东京(2000); Kunstverein Munchen, Munchen 慕尼黑 (2002 2004);
BuroFriedrich, Berlin 柏林(2001), CAC, Vilnius (2003); Clocktower,
New York 纽约(2000) 及其它地方展出过作品。

About the artist and their works
Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol work collectively since
1995 as Bik Van der Pol. They live and work in Rotterdam.
Their projects engage with functionality, usability and
site sensitivity, concerned with interaction at an institutional
and intimate, local level. They aim to improve situations,
add what is missing, and highlight what is in the dark and
to open rather than close.
Their working method is based on co-operation and they use
this as a platform for various kinds of communicative activities.
Circulation of knowledge and re-use of existing and left-over
spaces, forms and situations are important strategic tools
in the work of Bik van der Pol., which they critically and
constructively address. Not by adding yet another new idea
to the cycle of production and consumption, but by revising
and re-activating an existing situation.
They showed their work at Witte de With, Rotterdam; Secession,
Vienna (2005); Rooseum, Malmo (2003 and 1999); Tokyo Opera
City Art Gallery, Tokyo (2000); Kunstverein Munchen, Munchen
(2002 and 2004); BuroFriedrich, Berlin (2001), CAC, Vilnius
(2003); Clocktower, New York (2000), and other venues.
