Caz Egelie (1994) creates installations, performances, two-dimensional works and videos. In their multi-disciplinary body of work the visual vocabulary of the works is combined with Caz' conceptual approach, and their appetite for theatre and performativity. By referring to art history and its artists and taking on unusual ways of production and presentation, Caz plays a game with real and fake, fact and fiction, reproduction and 'the artist's signature'. By defying these categorisations, Caz engages in institutional critique from the position of the jester, resulting in what one could call 'institutional jest'.
Caz has shown at, amongst other places, Lustwarande Tilburg, PINK Manchester, CENTRALE Brussels, Palais de Tokyo Paris, Centraal Museum Utrecht, Siao-Long Cultural Park Tainan and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
