Jacqueline Hassink is a New York-based international conceptual artist who works primarily in photography and film.
Born in the Netherlands in 1966, Hassink is most known for her global photo art projects that deal with the world of economic power. In a precise and almost scientific way she has mapped the economic globalization of our society by focusing on global Fortune 500 companies since 1993. She has collaborated with the most powerful CEOs in the world on projects that take place primarily in their headquarters.
In her first art project, "The Table of Power", Hassink photographed the boardroom tables of Europe’s forty largest multinational corporations. The tables were photographed without people in the frame. The collaborating multinationals were asked to fill out a questionnaire about these tables and the artist made drawings of the table setting during board meetings. Subsequently, Hassink worked on the global art projects "Female Power Stations: Queen Bees", "Mindscapes", "Car Girls", and "Arab Queen Bees".
Her publications include "The Table of Power" (1996 and 2000), "Female Power Stations: Queen Bees" (1999), and "Mindscapes" (2003).
