Movement of Iron

The Altán Klamovka presents an event based on a choreography involving the gallery vicinity of the park Klamovka. The choreography oscillates between an idleness and unexpected conglomerations of iron. As for the theme it refers to a battle repose and turmoil, we can also find there features of aggression and last but not least calm and beauty. The whole event dominates by temporary symbols creating visual figures. This way the gallery changes into an armoury and the art act itself will bear features of action art. It means the event is unrepeatable and the gallery becomes for the duration of the exhibition a space providing performance remainders.

Movement of Iron
An Fonteyne, Jitse van den Berg and Philippe Viérin are interested in the traditions of architecture, the potential that comes from familiar and ordinary settings and the possibilities that emerge from translating these ideas through construction and the employment of material. A meandering walk following thoughts, sketches, projects and buildings will explore the affinity the architects have with literature, visual arts and politics.
The output of that research varies from works in the public space and architectural structures to sculptures and smaller work. Within this undefined area, the duo developed a practice that thematizes the friction between function (architecture) and autonomy (image) in an increasingly emphatic manner, and is centered around the central question: at what point does the daily experience of space turn into an aesthetic one?
