Laura Wiedijk / Grace Schwindt

Wiels - Contemporary Art Center, Bruxelles

Laura Wiedijk
Waver

The WIELS project room presents a new work, developed during the last year, a spatial installation titled “Waver”. The installation partitions the room in 4 categories in which several works take place.

The work seems to re-appear merely as necessary condition for an other, it appears as an echo and this echo as a decoy, while the work flickers and glimmers in front of it, around it, like a zone. (Note from the artist, around Mai 16)

This project is developed by artist in residency Laura Wiedijk with the support of Mondriaan Fonds and WIELS artist in residency program.

Grace Schwindt
Tenant

In “Tenant”, the family home becomes the stage to re-enact a scripted dialogue that takes as a starting point a story about Mrs. Schumacher who was the lodger of the artist's grandfather in Berlin during the Second World War. She was a communist and helped Vladimir Lenin travel from Switzerland to Russia in 1917 after the February Revolution broke out. The relationship between language and physical movements explores roles that these two elements play in the creation of knowledge and social relations.

The film by the artist in residency Grace Schwindt has been completed in 2012 is 82 minutes long and has been commissioned Film London Artists Moving Image Network and Collective Gallery, Edinburgh.

Screening at: 11:00, 12:30, 14:00 & 15:30
