Jacqueline HASSINK
Born in 1966 in Netherlands.
Lives and works in New York City.
Hassink was winner of the prestigious Prix No Limit at the Rencontres d'Arles, France, given to a photographer who pushes the boundaries of the medium: Arab Queen Bees at the Atelier de Mécanique. Born in the Netherlands, Hassink is most known for her global photo art projects that deal with the world of economic power.
In a precise and almost scientific way she has mapped the economic globalization of our society by focusing since 1993 on global Fortune 500 companies. She has collaborated with the most powerful CEOs in the world on projects that take place primarily in their headquarters. In her first art project The Table of Power she photographed the boardroom tables of Europe’s forty largest multinational corporations. The tables were photographed without people in the frame. The collaborating multinationals were asked to fill out a questionnaire about these tables and an artist made drawings of the table setting during board meetings. Subsequently, Hassink worked on the global art project Female Power Stations: Queen Bees and Mindscapes.
Her work has shown internationally including Huis Marseille, Foundation for Photography, Amsterdam; Fotomuseum Winterthur, Zürich; Scalo Gallery, New York; Galerie Deux, Tokyo; and the Photographers’ Gallery in London. Her photographs are in the collections of the Pont Foundation in Tilburg, Netherlands; LaSalle Bank Photography Collection in Chicago; the Victoria and Albert Museum (London) and DG Bank, Frankfurt am Main. In 2003 she collaborated with Rem Koolhaas on the Wired magazine article “Office Space” and in the same year was interviewed on CNN and the BBC. Hassink is a visiting professor in the Program of Higher Education in photography at the Ecole d’arts appliqués in Vevey, Switzerland, a visiting lecturer at Harvard University and she is also a visiting professor at the Wits University in Johannesburg.
She will be a visiting professor at the the International Center of Photography in New York (2005).
