Filip NoterdaemeBiographyFilip Noterdaeme is a New York-based artist and the founding director of the Homeless Museum of Art (HOMU), a conceptual art project that seeks to subvert the increasingly impersonal, market-driven art world and expose the sellout of cultural institutions to commerce, cronyism, real estate, and star architects. A witty parody of the contemporary art museum, HOMU has at turns been a live-in museum in a rental apartment in Brooklyn, an activist's initiative, an exhibit in a vacant artist studio, a collection of original artworks, and a mock museum booth embedded in a commercial art fair. Noterdaeme and HOMU have been profiled by numerous publications, including the New York Times and the Believer Magazine . Filip Noterdaeme was born in Brussels, Belgium in 1965 and grew up in Brussels and Geneva, Switzerland. He moved to New York City in 1986 and received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 1990 and his Masters from New York University in1996. His Homeless Museum of Art (created in 2003 ) was inspired largely by the work of his compatriot, the late Marcel Broodthaers, a conceptual artist closely associated with the practice of institutional critique. Noterdaeme is also an adjunct professor of cultural studies and art history at New York University and the New School. He is frequently freelancing as a museum educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. In 2007, he was a visiting artist at the Kansas City Art Institute and taught an interdisciplinary workshop entitled "The Undoing and Remaking of Museums." In 2008, he took the Homeless Museum to the streets and staged four weekly performances outside the New Museum. Noterdaeme lives in the Homeless Museum of Art with his partner, performer Isengart.
