HERE INSTEAD OF AROUNDMORPHO,
Antwerp 24–26.06.2022
Sint Lucas Antwerpen Artistic Research Presentation
“Dear carpet, take me with youas time is a flat circle, and I am here instead of around, talking to my catriding on the mycelial net, which is my body, inside my mindno borders, just transitory objects, national baggage, floating through virtual spacesas I lead the masked parade from the centre to the peripherythrough our successes and the failings, we thank you for your approach and consideration”
We are an international group of ten artist-researchers who have gathered into a cohort in Sint Lucas Antwerpen’s 2021 Advanced Masters of Research in Art and Design program. Our diverse practices span visual art, performance and design, and are anchored in our social-political contexts. We have spent the past year exchanging ideas and developing critical, collaborative and complex conversations and methodologies. We will be taking over the refectory space at MORPHO from 24 to 26 June 2022.
We will use this communal space as a temporary open studio, in which we will share our research processes and experiments. Visitors are invited to workshops, performances, a book release and guided tours through our questions, challenges and thoughts.We have been awarded a collective residency at Frans Masereel Centrum in the fall of 2022. In order to financially support the residency, we have curated a small shop that will be open for the weekend. Bring cash!
The weekend event will conclude with a finissage on Sunday afternoon, celebrated with cheers, drinks and high spirits.For information about venue accessibility, please check here: https://extracitykunsthal.org/en/visit
