OVERTOON NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2021 | ||
FOCUS RESIDENCY At Overtoon, we'll be waving goodbye to yet another virus-ridden year in the presence of artist in residence Stijn Wybouw. Stijn Wybouw's work often starts from very rudimentary sounds/instruments, such as home-made shakers, rattles, bells on chicken legs. These instruments serve as an important source of inspiration. Over the course of summer, Stijn put together rattling machines from handmade shakers and found objects. This installation was combined with works from other artists into the total installation / group exhibition High-Voltage.
His research at Overtoon continues on this premise as he's looking into ways to refine sonic aspects. An additional source of inspiration are field recordings of fiercely rustling cricket fields that he made a few years ago while travelling through Spain. An artificial machine-like drone sound in combination with the sound of the rattles could be a good complement to a translation of the ferocious cricket fields.
EVENTS What is sound? What is this phenomenon we canât usually see or touch, and how can we get closer to it? As part of her ongoing research and now soon to be exhibited at Lydgalleriet, Norway, sound artist Els Viaeneâs research investigates sound at its source; the moment it is shaped. In Ways of seeing sound, she approaches sound as a physical phenomenon and its various visual manifestations, so that it brings her to other worlds and times. This exhibition for Lydgalleriet is a performance and installation where science, sound and sculpture meet, blurring the notions of seeing and hearing, the perception of what we see and hear and how one interferes with the other.
Els Viaene’s presence at Lydgalleriet is part of Oscillations: Exercises in resilience, an international exchange program exploring the tension between acoustic and visual art forms from a makers perspective. The program aims to facilitate the circulation of artists working with sound across national and disciplinary boundaries as well as to foster knowledge exchange between artist-run spaces. Ways of seeing sound With the group show The sea in sound and image, Concertgebouw Brugge illustrates its ambition to further develop their position as a beacon for sound art. Combining three renowned sound artists, the institution presents three installations that - each in their way - reflect on the sea and its poetry. Erik Nerinckx captures the immense, turbulent natural force of the sea in an all-encompassing recording made at the coast. Sixteen speakers replay its murmur, rustle and roar as a massive wall of sound. Sound artist Stijn Demeulenaere goes out to sea and brings us a poetic exploration that voices the unseen, polluted and disrupted (sound) landscape beneath the waves. Artist duo VOID visualise the sounds of the sea. With SARA â inspired by a 19th century technique that recorded sound as visual squiggles â they make its water visible.

Cyrielle Gulacsy, Fondation CAB, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 2021 Fondation CAB is pleased to introduce Cyrielle Gulacsy (b. 1994, Paris, France) as our 1st artist-in-residence in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Self-taught artist, Cyrielle has been drawing and painting since the end of her studies in 2016. Initially driven by a quest for realism, her work evolves under the influence of modern physics, towards the representation of an imperceptible reality, of the order of abstraction, concealing the invisible laws of nature. Space-time, electromagnetism, or the diffraction of light are all fields of research and experimentation that allow the artist to explore new representations of reality. In her work the artist explores our perception of light through space and time and reveals to us the matter that composes it. Her “atomistic” approach to pointillism is the result of a desire to get closer to the quintessence of things and to give an account of infinite quantities difficult to conceive. Each point, whether it is the measure of a particle or a celestial object, gives substance to an inaccessible reality and offers an intimate and dizzying view of the world around us. Space becomes almost tangible, and the invisible, by taking shape, brings us closer to the essence of nature. CURRENT EXHIBITION IN SAINT-PAUL-DE-VENCE LIGHTNESS OF BEING Perspective on the Collection Open by appointment till end of February Lightness of Being, Perspective on the collection, Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 2021, Photography Antoine Lippens In Saint-Paul-de-Vence, some twenty artworks from the collection Fondation CAB will be presented, with a display co-curated by Hubert Bonnet and Joost Declercq. For this first interpretation of the collection, a conscious choice was made to select artworks that open up a reflection on the positioning of the artist. The artist as a person, the artist in his relationship to time and space, as well as his position within the prevailing economic, social and cultural context. It is the attitude and thought of the artist that are put for-ward. The artist unveils his vulnerability through his reflections on the very meaning of art. The exhibited artworks only acquire meaning when placed in relation with the architecture, the space and the viewer. The materiality briefly disappears and the artist’s engagement is translated by phil-osophical formulations about the very essence of things.

Ketchup Sessions Alan Page Arriaga and Naufus Ramírez Figueroa touch upon the ways story and memory interweave. Their conversation explores performance and role-playing as strategies to reconcile narratives and strengthen the political formations where historical actors and fictitious characters, tangible facts, and mythic tales collide. In conjunction with The Missing Circle on view at KADIST San Francisco through January 8, 2022. RSVP here for the Zoom link and to participate in the Q&A.
New programs available to stream now! Ketchup Sessions Maps are powerful tools for ordering the world and the discipline of cartography is inherent to colonialism and its lingering traces. Bustos and Dayrit discuss drawing, as information, and how it appears in their practices as vocabulary to unpack and counter historical processes of exclusion in Latin America and the Philippines respectively.
Online Video Exhibition Exploring how political narratives produced by imperialism often have far-reaching and multi-layered effects on subjects and their realities, the videos by 5 artists reflect on how events long passed continue to shape minds, bodies, and individual and intergenerational experiences. Through montage, the artists reinterpret official historiography by juxtaposing and interweaving documentary archival material with personal accounts. They reveal “foundational fictions” and reflect on trauma as a ghostly sense of being haunted. Online Video Exhibition This exhibition of Argentinian artist Gabriela Golder’s works traces the evolution of an artistic practice that draws on a restless, inquisitive yet tender gaze, expanding into new worlds and territories addressing sociopolitical political issues such as the effects of economic crisis and military oppression. The exhibition is a collaboration with Videobrasil.
