About Susanna Brenner

Susanna Brenner is a visual artist with a background in jewelry making, the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, and the Piet Zwart Institute. Her work moves between installation, video, sound, and textiles, exploring ritual forms of silence, mindfulness, and imagination.

It's an experience

UTOPIA isn't just for looking at, but for experiencing and entering: a place between care and grief, between light and silence. A space where patients, staff, neighbors, and visitors can rest, reconnect, and imagine together. Within The Spirit of Amsterdam Festival, the chapel at OLVG Oost thus becomes a place of art and tranquility.

The opening of Utopia is on Friday, November 28th (5:00 PM) with a ritual by Felix Ritter, including a special performance by soprano Siri Brenner and Celia Peralta Schutte, piano. . There are also programs such as "Voice Mediation" by Janne Schra on Saturday (1:00 PM).

UTOPIA can still be seen on Sunday the 30th from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. After the weekend, the installation in the chapel will remain open to visitors until January 18th, with special hosting on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
