About

Curdin Tones (1976) is pursuing his art practice since his graduation in 2003 at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. At current he is based both in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Tschlin, Switzerland. Since 2004 he is represented by Andriesse&Eyck Gallery in Amsterdam. His work has been added to national and international collections. Currently he is setting up an artist initiative in a small alpine village Tschlin (CH) that aims at developing projects in collectivity around locally timely topics. www.somalgors74.ch

In addition to his artistic practice, since 2007 the artist has been lecturing at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in the departments of Fine Arts, Basic Year and Dog-time. Occasionally Tones also works as guest tutor in different Academies throughout Europe.
