Holly Streekstra works in a variety of media, including video, audio, performance, and general object making, often focusing on ideas of time and place, technology, cultural myths, and illusion. Her work has been exhibited at numerous institutions, including the Minnesota Museum of American Art, St. Paul; Woman Made Gallery, Chicago; Invisible Dog, Brooklyn; White Canvas Independent Film Festival, Székesfehérvár, Hungary; and the 4th International Video-Art Festival in Camaguey, Cuba.

Halter and Streekstra began collaborating under the auspices of the MiXER residency at d’CLINIC studios in Lendava, Slovenia in the summer of 2012. In a true alignment of the stars, their residency was equal parts summer camp, 24-hour slumber party (including potato chips), Laura Nyro and LaBelle recording Gonna Take A Miracle, and lessons in “classic” Italian cooking and cursing. The artists spent approximately 23.5 hours/day together, becoming intimately involved in each others’ practices while exploring the weird world around them.
