In 2011, Van der Werve performed at the grand opening program for the St. Louis location of the World Chess Hall of Fame. He performed his piece, "Number Twelve : Chess Piano Concert in Three Movements" which combined the mechanics of a piano with the layout of a traditional chess board.

In 2009 he started the annual Running for Rachmaninoff run, running from his gallery, Luhring Augustine, to the grave of composer Sergei Rachmaninoff in Valhalla in Upstate NY, a 55 km run. The first year only Guido completed the run, in 2011 he finished with 2 people and in 2012 three persons managed to complete the run. Participants have to carry with them a booklet of Chamomile flowers to be placed on the grave. The 2015-2016 Running for Rachmanninoff run was ran by the artist alone back to back on December 31 of 2015 and January 1 of 2016

In 2008 he created "Nummer acht :, everything is going to be alright" where he is seen walking 15 metres (49 ft) in front of an icebreaker.

Van der Werve was born in Papendrecht, the Netherlands and currently lives and works in Finland and Berlin. He pursued studies in industrial design, archaeology, music composition, and Russian language and literature at several universities in the Netherlands before beginning to create his first video documented performances at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy around 2000. Van der Werve initially started out doing performances but because he disliked the live aspect, he started to film them with simple video cameras. The registrations became gradually more cinematic and professional over the years. Having a background in music Van der Werve tries to create visual art, which communicates as direct as music. In 2006 Van der Werve did a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In 2008 he moved to New York. From 2010 on Van der Werve has been living in the Finnish countryside and Berlin. Van der Werve is an avid runner and triathlete. He's a black T-shirt finisher in the 2012 Anniversary race of the Norseman triathlon. His PB in the Marathon is currently 2.57.06 ran in the Berlin Marathon in 2013. He also finished all of the six World Marathon Majors in under 3:15 minutes, including the terror attacked Boston Marathon of 2013. In 2011 he summited Aconcagua in Argentina, with a height of 6972 meters. He broke a Guinness world record Fastest marathon dressed as a nun ; fastest costumed nun in the Amsterdam marathon in 2015

Guido van der Werve (born 1977) is a Dutch filmmaker and visual artist.

A documentation of this run (on slides) is the first part of "Nummer dertien", the first performance through which he started incorporating sports in his art. Other parts of "Nummer dertien" feature Van der Werve in a 12-hour video work in which the artist is running around his house in Finland for 12 hours and climbing to the summit of Mount Aconcagua and "Nummer veertien" where he completed a 1600 km triathlon (7x the ironman distance) from Warshaw to Paris. Music often plays a key role in van der Werve's work, being trained as a classical musician he seeks for a similar directness to his art as music has.
