UPCOMING EXHIBITION

Lawrence Malstaf , Christoph De Boeck , Aernoudt Jacobs , Basement - project: Kok & Deiman.

Territorium

Lawrence Malstaf

A space is divided into 4 rooms by a series of strings. A Euclidean space moving like the XY-axes of a plotter. The 4 rooms are constantly changing in size. When one becomes larger another becomes smaller. However, the walls are nearly immaterial: vertical strings hanging down only indicate the plan of the walls. Together with light and shadow they may look like a sterile auto cad drawing or a projection. Yet when a string touches a visitor it curves and hesitates like only physical objects can.
about the artist


Cell is an installation that consists of a steel cylinder that is accessible and a web of hidden wireless sensors. On several spots these sensors measure fine vibrations that occur when objects or parts of the building are touched. The steel cocoon receives those vibrations and amplifies the low frequencies across its inner surfaces. It acts as a focus point of contact between bodies and architecture. As soon as vibrations resonate with the steel they are registered and stored. The events are constantly repeated and gradually raised in tone. All low frequencies evaporate after days when they have lost all of their materiality and they leave the steel sculpture’s memory as high-frequency remainders.
about the artist



Induction Series

Aernoudt Jacobs

The Induction Series started as a framework for a research around electromagnetic induction. The series revisits the laws of electromagnetic induction to produce sounds in different ways. The output of the research will be a series of fragile kinetic sound works which questions if sounds can be reduced into a formal objects and looks for the potential resonance of objects. The research emphasizes on the transition between visual and audible. What you will see and hear will form the trajectory of your perception.
about the artist



Basement project

Kok & Deiman

The work of Kok&Deiman, a collaboration of Tom Kok (°1987) and Jan Willem Deiman (°1986), consists of several (live)studies in sculpture, video and sound. Through a historical and philosophical bias they investigate subjects such as the development and deconstruction of patterns, textures and models. Kok&Deiman are mainly interested in disconnecting and distorting the contexts of their subjects, thereby exposing its autonomy. They take models from varying origin and use abstraction and minimalistic sculpture as their strategy.
