It has become quite common to work together in the art world. For example, the advent of the collective is linked to the call for a more inclusive art world. Zeevaarders & Johns deliberately call themselves an artists’ duo, rather than a collective. They're two different people; two women who together form an artists duo. They only create works jointly, whereas a collective operates both together and individually. They also try to shift the position of the individual in our society. It’s about dropping the egos, to discover where the one ends and the other begins. 'For us, collaboration means the opportunity to create through having a continuous dialogue in our practice, in which our positions are sharpened by questioning one another, and where the work is pivotal. In other words: we want to learn from one another.'
