Working at the border between performance and installation art, the Dutch artist critically evaluates the relationships between performers and spectators, everyday reality and art. Through gestures that intervene into everyday public life, Verhoeven aims to sow seeds of doubt about the systems that inconspicuously influence our thoughts and actions; in recent years, the current mindset of crisis and the influence of digital media on interpersonal relationships have, in particular, informed his projects. Since 2020, he has been a member of the Akademie van Kunsten (Dutch Society of Arts).
