Jimena Kato – An Awkward Understanding of the Bodily Mechanics
If dancing is about walking, and walking is about swinging the body weight, sculpture makes part of these games of balance. Jimena Kato states that these physical notions are the main directional traits of her work: I use matter and its weight as a principal foundation for my pieces. Accept their constitution, their movement, their own dynamics, to work with them instead of trying to controle them. The making of a sculpture becomes also a “laisser faire” game. This Friday 22 March from 7 – 9 pm her solo exhibition opens at… Read More

Errances – Participative performance by Hantu
Errances (Wanderings) is a participative performance proposed by Pascale Weber and Jean Delsaux of Hantu, in collaboration with Simona Polvani. A bride, a soldier, a corpse in the Labrador Forest… unless it is one and the same body, surrounded by a constellation of avatars that manifest themselves as just as many inner voices and that evolve in satellites around it. Errances describes a war and an enemy impossible to name. Errances talks about the harsh law of humans and the loss of those who try to escape it. Errances was first an… Read More

Peter Hulsmans in I see, I see, I see…
An exhibition as a riddle, that is the least one can say about Ik Zie Ik Zie Ik Zie Watjijnietziet – I See I See I See Whatyoudon’tsee – the left-out spacing of the last part of the title intended. As curator Lieve Segers describes it the exhibition is …a game in which one has to guess an object that one of the players has in mind and that is visibly present for all players. The only characteristic the player gives is its colour. …the exhibition not only lets the viewer search… Read More
