Artists

Every WIPCOOP edition there are new artists who participate. Here you will find an overview of all artists who have participated since 2009. Since 2019, each of them gets a page. On it you will find information about who they are and which performance they presented as a work in progress (and possibly further realized or will realize later), as well as photos of this. Do you want to know more about an artist, or do you need their contact information? Send us an email.
