Achter glas geschilderd

hansan2 — Sun, 08 May 2011 16:41:05 +0000

A new version of the animation “Kling” and a limited edition print is shown on the group exhibition “Achter glas geschilderd” with work by the following artists: Gorik Lindemans (B), Ingeborg Knigge (D), Hans Verhaegen (B), Roman Kirschner (A) in the gallery space of Cypres from May 8 until June 19.

Dutch text:

Gorik Lindemans focust in dit recent werk op Schilderkunst, zijn eerste liefde en studiekeuze ooit.
Binnen zijn gebruikelijke ‘veelheid’ loopt er een onderzoek naar de herontdekking van de oude techniek “achter glas geschilderd”, ook wel églomisé genoemd.Bij deze techniek gaat men omgekeerd te werk: eerst de details, dan de grotere vlakken daar over heen en zo steeds breder en algemeen werkend. De achterkanten zijn dus vaak bijzonder interessante, andere schilderijen. Dit is de basis van Lindemans’ églomisé-werk: de rugzijde wordt een volwaardig ander schilderij, waarbij er weer opgebouwd wordt met detail om tot een nieuwe compositie te komen.

Voor “Achter glas geschilderd” inviteerde Gorik Lindemans enkele hedendaagse kunstenaars wiens werk nauwe visuele banden heeft met églomisé:

De foto’s van Ingeborg Knigge (D) tonen reflecties in autoruiten waardoor een verwarrend beeld achter-glas/voor-glas ontstaat.
Hans Verhaegen (B) maakt “digitale glasramen”. Achter het glas van een computerscherm bewegen autonome vormen zich tot ontelbaar veel composities.
Bij het technologisch schilderij/wandsculptuur van Roman Kirschner (A) worden achter glas, stofdeeltjes metaal tot gewilde en totaal ongewilde posities geleid.

Het werk van de vier kunstenaars heeft, naast het toevallige glas, als gemene noemer Compositie. En wel dat soort compositie wat je maar deels in de hand hebt. Heel veel is ‘gegeven’, heel veel is resultaat van iets anders.
Zoals de oude “achter glas”-schilderijen een ongewilde achterkant opleveren, resultaat van het schilderen van de voorkant.
Ter illustratie is in de tentoonstelling een klein schilderijtje opgenomen uit de collectie van M-museum Leuven, een anonieme églomisé (19de eeuw): ‘Vrouwenfiguur’.

Deus Digitalis at Orpheus

hansan2 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:20:35 +0000

Installation in collaboration with Jean DelouvroyLocation: Orpheus Institute, Ghent Belgium try out on 12 10 2009.

‘Deus Digitalis´ is an audio visual installation by visual artist Hans Verhaegen and composer Jean Delouvroy. On occasion of the official opening of this year´s exhibition, this creation will be integrated in the characteristic context of the Orpheus Institute´s concert hall. The basic elements consist of computer-steered animation of the recognizable distinctive human pattern by Hans Verhaegen and the inventive composed sound layers by Jean Delouvroy. It´s the first time both artists combine forces.

The animation used for this installation is a version of ‘Gotiek‘.

Jean Delouvroy (°1967, Belgium) studied at the Royal Music Conservatory in Ghent (harmony, counterpoint, analysis, project contemporary music, jazz arranging & composition, electric guitar). In 1988 he won the national jazz composing and arranging contest (Belgian Artistic Promotion Sabam). Afterwards he worked as arranger for the Belgian Radio Television Big Band, where his interest in contemporary music was also stimulated. Furthermore he makes use of electronics. He creates soundscapes by recycling his own acoustic material, mainly in cooperation with other art disciplines. He lives and works in Brussels. (www.jeandelouvroy.com)

Here are some views from the installation of ’128 people’ during the launch presentation of the Digital Art Contest form Kunst in Huis at ‘Living Tomorrow’. It was shown at the press conference and during the party afterwards on a bigger screen. I lost my mobile phone with pictures taking during the party, but Greet was their to take some shots during the sunny presentation. She also took some while ’128 people’ was running on the big screen in the garden. What a screen! High quality screen display in the broad daylight! Thanks to the people from Panasonic, Digitopia and Kunst in huis.

Guru

hansan2 — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:10:25 +0000

“Guru” got a preview on the opening night of a group exhibition in Ghent (Belgium, Update II, zebrastraat). Nine 50 inch screens played “Guru” with its basic iconography: an icon-like human figure. A big one, holding two figures in its hands, seems to attract and at the same time to be chased by 60 other human figures. The ‘guru’ is framed by the limits of each screen. The followers can float out off screen and float in again when pushed out by the ‘guru’. A snapshot at the ‘unbearable lightness of being’ captured in a very seductive and hypnotic piece of animation. People who missed the mentioned opening night, can enjoy the animation here online.

Made with the wonderful bit-101 Particle class.

“Guru” was previewed on the opening night of the groupexhibition ‘Update II’, zebrastraat, Gent, Belgium.Location: Zebrastraat, Gent, Belgium on 19 04 2008.
