Sara Bomans solo
Spring coincides this year with a long awaited eclectic overview of work by Sara Bomans at Gallery Pinsart, Bruges. Bomans’ work is explicitly divers, whether in subject matter, material, style or format. She typically executes her work in ongoing series that she publishes in albums on her facebook page: from the series of written and drawn Secret Thoughts, the series of drawings using human hair I Used To Be Sexy, or the wildly flexible pink puppets that are often mounted against a deep blue background of the series Busy Being Born.

The first part of the title referred to a work by Peter Hulsmans, while the subtitle (‘plaatsbepaling’ in Dutch) and the concept played with all kinds of connotations of ‘place’ which in Dutch can also refer to a square (plaats,… Read More
Talking with AnneMarie Maes about her project The Bee Laboratory on *DUUURadio
This evening French *DUUURadio airs the interview I had with AnneMarie Maes last Friday on her Bee Laboratory Project, produced by the Centre Wallonie Bruxelles in Paris in the context of their Biennale Nova XX. We discuss amongst others how she came to work with bees, how this led to working with bacteria and algae and above all what sounds the bees make, what they are telling us and how she uses their sounds in various compositions. Listen to the emission with the bees playing a kind of ping pong with each… Read More
