Jesse Howard

Jesse Howard is a designer and educator based in the Netherlands. His design practice focuses on re-imagining everyday objects in response to new forms of digital fabrication, distributed development, and DIY communities. Through collaborative research and hands-on prototyping, the practice seeks to explore a re-definition of the traditional roles and relationships between the designers, producers, and users within a production system. Jesse was an initiator of “Hacking Households” – a collaborative project developed collectively by a group of designers, programmers, engineers, and artists. As part of the Horizon 2020 Better Factory, he co-developed "Found Objects" an algorithmic process for working with CNC waste. Jesse’s work has been exhibited internationally by, amongst others: The New Museum (US), Stedelijk Museum (NL), Centre Pompidou (FR), and MAK Museum of Applied Arts (AT).

Reclaiming Art Residencies

In dit project liep van 2017 tot 2022 waarin we op zoek gingen naar manieren om gemeenschappelijke bronnen te creëren voor kunstenaars waarbij we vooral de relatie tussen ‘hosting organisation’ en kunstenaar onderzochten. Van ‘(un)commoning’ waarbij we collectieve lees- en debat sessies deden over de exclusie van niet-commoners, tot het omvormen van het residentie programma tot een collectief door kunstenaars beheerd project inclusief de selectie, budgetverdeling en evaluatie en documentatie methodes.
