About the authors

Sophie Krier (LU/BE) is a relational artist and researcher who develops tools for collective narration and reflection. She is particularly interested in the oscillating movement between dream and reality, and form and non-form. Initially trained in textile design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, today she interweaves stories at the intersection of art and ecology that connect beings and places. In her editorial practice she combines education, artistic research and interventions in public space. Between 2004 and 2009 she directed the undergraduate course designLAB (Rietveld Academie, NL). In 2008, Krier initiated Field Essays, an ongoing research project, which takes among others the form of a series of books published by Onomatopee. On invitation of University College Roosevelt (NL), Krier recently developed Art & Design Practice: a new program in the spirit of Liberal Arts & Sciences, which she currently teaches each fall semester.
