exhibition: NIGHT SHIFT

During theatre festival Cultura Nova, fourteen empty storefronts in the centre of Heerlen will be the setting for Night Shift, a project by artist collective Ratsmodee.

Night Shift is a project with a day-and-night rhythm, creating different perspectives on the works: The use of light and darkness is a connecting factor between the fourteen presentations.

Night Shift is on the cutting edge of theatre and visual art. Every location is different; sometimes there are remains of an interior, sometimes of a discontinued renovation and sometimes it is a bare white space. All these factors influence the work that is created and the experience of it.

Theatre does not show real facts but fictional ones. The aim of such a (re-)construction is, often, to show different shades of reality. In a similar and poetic way Ratsmodee works, Night Shift can be read as a counterpart of the everyday reality in the city centre of Heerlen.

For further background information on the works, you can listen to an audio tour via Greylight Project´s RADIO LIMA.

IKOB and Greylight Projects are pleased to announce artist Arthur Cordier as the winner of our open call for the Very Contemporary residency and artist project. Arthur was chosen by a jury consisting of VC members Maurice Funken (NAK Neuer Aachener Kunstverein) Brenda Guesnet (IKOB – Museum für Zeitgenössische Kunst), Wouter Huis (Greylight Projects) and Alicja Melzacka (CIAP Kunstverein).⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Arthur’s practice tackles the aesthetics of bureaucracy, entrepreneurship, and efficiency through relational, situational and context-specific works. They often self-reflect upon artistic practice and the entangled economies of art in a production-driven society. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

In addition to his practice he co-initiates the studio & project space The Balcony (NL), and contributes as guest curator to Art au Centre Liège (BE).⁣⁣

⁣⁣

We are looking forward to welcoming Arthur to the region and seeing his project develop in the coming months. Watch this space for further updates on his work!⁣⁣
