CRUMBLING DOWN
Miet Warlop introduceert tijdens Performatik17 drie theatrale vignetten. Op elegante wijze heffen fysieke acties, sculpturale props en scenografische interventies elkaar op. Aan de hand van een plastische taal, onthult elke scène de immateriële processen die in het werk kropen. Het resultaat is een live sculpturaal gebeuren, dat telkens een vluchtige fantasie op poten zet. Op het moment van hun voltooiing, verbrokkelt die echter voor je ogen.
Miet Warlop (°1978) is a Belgian visual artist born in Torhout, living and working between Ghent, Berlin and Brussels. While living in Berlin for three years, she concentrated on her visual work in preparation for the piece Mystery Magnet. It earned her the prestigious Theatertreffen Stückemarkt prize at the Berliner Festspiele for new forms of theatre, and played more than 100 times worldwide.
Over the last years, Miet explored different possibilities with her Nervous Pictures and performances, both in a theatre as visual arts context. In 2014 Miet created Dragging the Bone, a solo performance on a sculpted planet. While touring the piece, she opened her very first solo exhibition Crumbling Down the Circle of my Iconoclasm at KIOSK gallery (Ghent).
Miet started 2017 at KW Berlin, where she presented more of her Nervous Pictures. You can witness one of these – TRIPTYCH – during the closing of Performatik17. Moreover, she stages a ride into the Yves Klein-exhibition at Bozar (Brussels), also in the context of the festival.
