Steven van Lummel (NL)

Steven van Lummel (’81) founded a skatepark (Sweatshop) and cultural hotspot (PIP) in his hometown The Hague. PIP is an cultural platform with a nightclub, label, publishing agency, online radiostation and a tv station that nobody cares about. As an artist, van Lummel participated in numerous solo and groupshows and was an artist in residence in New York, Tokyo and Zaandam. Van Lummel is part of numerous illuster music groups like Lippi Lippi, MEGA WEGA, SAUNA and De Hoek. He is a host at festivals like Dekmantel and Lowlands and co-host of the podcast Bakkie Bakkie.

Meanwhile, the one thing van Lummel kept doing on his own is painting.
His paintings register his mind as a stream of consciousness and by doing this he leaves a trace to find his way when he gets off track.Steven is sad and uplifting at the same time, he will pick up the phone from Tuesday to Friday and cries every time it rains.
