RESIDENCY X EXHIBITION AT KOPLAND, ANTWERPEN

GENERATION TRANSMUTATION

 may 18, 2018 - may 27, 2018
KOP Artspace// Amerikalei 128 // 2000 Antwerpen

The exhibition GENERATION TRANSMUTATION revolves around the live performance. A dancer, unaware of the state of the public and interlinked in the course of a costume concept by M.T. , narrate their own interpretation of Kafka’s short story At Night. The live performance takes up the idea of growing comfortable with each other by being literally interlinked. One movement provokes a succeeding one and renders us all dependent on one another. In a way, the main course of action is a path into the future: by joining forces, co-existing in our circle(s), being mindful and aware of one another. Being in the moment. They are Generation Transmutation after all! Their definition of the future is trans-media, trans-thematic and trans-identity.

The accompanying installation, made by In Situ-student Emma van de Broeck, features photographic work of Daphne Okon, who captured the very essence of the dark and slightly sinister nature of the setting, and paintings by Nathan Cha, which illustrate a state of coexisting in a circle by placing ethereal bodies in relation to the spherical construction.
