FOCUS - OPEN STUDIOS IN FEBRUARY You are most welcome for an afternoon of open studios at Overtoon, during which you can meet our current artists-in-residence, Stijn Wybouw and Wannes Deneer and found out more about what it is they have been working on during their time in our midst. As you could read in our previous newsletter, Stijn Wybouw's work often starts from very rudimentary sounds or instruments, such as home-made shakers, rattles, bells on chicken legs. During his research at Overtoon, Stijn explored and refined the sonic aspects of his trouvailles. With Speaking characters, Wannes Deneer works on a series of sounding collages, or speaker sculptures if you will. While each sculpture has its own visual and aural character, together they form a polyphonic choir. Open studios at Overtoon 2022 Overtoon, 34 Boulevard Pacheco, 1000 Brussels, Belgium EVENTS This year's edition of La semaine du Son – De Week van de Klank offers the opportunity to re-discover a 2017 Overtoon production by Franziska Windisch. Set up on the fourth floor of the Brussels MIM, the installation On Random Walks revolves around the phenomenon of knots in vibrated granular chains and examines how knots contribute to the understanding of space and movement. In physics, granular chains are used as a model to study the behaviour of string-like objects such as DNA, RNA or polymer macromolecules that often become entangled. De Week van de Klank 2022 As part of the celebrations framing the 20th anniversary of Concertgebouw Brugge, our very own Christoph De Boeck was invitated to conceptualize and develop a work of sound art that would interact with the architecture of its host. Surfaces will be presented and activated during a live performance as part of a double bill with David Claerbout during three time slots. Surfaces by Christoph de Boeck The VOID exhibition at Le Botanique presents a full-scale installation in the museum space that immerses the viewer in a parallel universe. The exhibition rooms become the production headquarters for SARA (Souvenir Archival Recording Apparatus), a fictitious company that collects and archives the verbal and memorial traces of mankind.
