About
Max/Mei is an art duo formed by Marte Mei van Haaster and Max Daalhuizen
The work of Max/Mei evolves around the transition from nature into culture, control to coincidence and that which is artificially created versus naturally grown. They create circumstances in which the work changes or transforms over time, by interaction from the audience, natural processes or others forms of growth and decay. Working on site-specific installations the projects depend on the local thematics and opportunities to manifest.
Currently they are expanding their work beyond the field of art and moving towards public space, private space and social design.
