Biography

Ruchama Noorda (1979, NL) studied visual arts at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (BA, 2002) and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam (MA 2004). She made her debut in 2003 with the exhibition The Profitable Art of Gardening in Museum Het Domein in Sittard. In recent work she researched the desire for an all-encompassing ideology in a personal Gesamtkunstwerk. Noorda’s work consists of both installations and performances. In the PhDArts programme she has been working on her visual research ‘ReForm’ since 2009.
