Atelier III

Sticky tape and wood

In a rapidly changing world and urban environment, artistic practices and cultural spaces are also in a state of flux. How do we envision the art spaces of tomorrow? How can we reshape these meeting places and laboratories for coexistence?

The artists of Damaged Goods set up camp in a former factory in Molenbeek to formulate some physical answers to these questions. This space houses the Decoratelier of scenographer Jozef Wouters, which makes it an apt environment for a dialogue with the imaginary spaces that choreographer Meg Stuart will be creating. In collaboration, they unfold precarious collective practices of meeting and making – with living bodies, with tape and wood, with curated sounds and urban noise.

• Two former editions of the Atelier series – also dialogues between Meg Stuart and Jozef Wouters – were staged at the Kaaistudios (2011) and at the Dansand! Festival in Ostend (2012).
