Short description: As part of Hoogtij #64, artists Biba Cole, Alejandra López and Daisy Madden-Wells let you in on a narrative-based show of negligible plot. At See Lab project space they will allow their practices to overlap and seep into each other, both inhabiting, and guiding the viewer through the space via drawing, sculpture, soundtrack and moving image. The central theme of ‘sneaking’ will loom large, exacerbated by the atmosphere of precarity that currently surrounds us. What it means to sneak, to be a sneak — to be present, absent, or perhaps somewhere in between.
They ask: when you live and move on the cusp of remonstration, what does it mean to make your way through a space? Is creeping/sneaking/sauntering a choice, or is it foisted upon you by those who would make you unwelcome?
Am I creeping, or do you just not want me here? Presenting... a wandering path for creeps and saunterers, exploring the uncanniness of proximity; the closer you get, the more nonsensical things become.
I’m not where I’m supposed to be.

Artist Bios
Biba Cole (UK) is an interdisciplinary artist who examines the relationships between her own body, water, and writing, as vessels that are continually overflowing. Positioning failures as generative actions, giving value to slippages from known languages.The moving body has no edges: it leaks, expands, and retracts. Swimming in pools of excess material - questions of productive action, consumption, language, disgust, and desire emerge.
Alejandra López is an artist born in Elche, Spain, and based in The Hague. Her practice seeks to question how visual, and material languages have an effect on the way we feel. Thinking through drawing in order to re-frame and digest found imagery, stories, and personal encounters. concerned with ideas of coexistence with non humanness, and non verbal communication, with ways of accessing the world we live in without conquering or controlling it. Focusing on sensation and feeling, exploring immediate surroundings and materialities. Her work manifests as installation, drawing, sculpture, and moving image.
Daisy Madden-Wells is a multidisciplinary artist and Pisces, born in South London, and currently based in den Haag. She works from an adoration for the decorative — where form and material grapple with each other, aiming to achieve a groovy dissonance. At present her artistic concerns include playing with the lineage and mutations of heraldic forms and ritual, their hidden violence, and the use of non-humanness to explore humanity.
