Machteld Rullens (1988, The Hague) presents an installation inspired by the work In Search of the Miraculous by the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader. On Wednesday 27 November from 16 to 17 hrs the presentation was inaugurated with a performance by Shanty choir Albatros from Rotterdam. A shanty is a type of work song that was once commonly sung to accompany labour on board large merchant sailing vessels.

Machteld Rullens is currently studying at the Piet Zwart Istitute (Rotterdam). In her work she combines fact and fiction to show ordinary situations in a different way. The work can take any shape. It can be a video, a performances, an installations or a combination of these forms. While making, a play between artist, actor and audience takes place. She considers this play as a material.
