• iii & Q O2 artist residency + Baltic tour

Posted on by Ô

iii Instrument Inventors Initiative is currently in residency in MoKS (Mooste, Estonia) all month of October. I have been invited to join them (for which I feel very honored). Next to developing new work in the relaxing and inspiring environment of Mooste, we’re also touring around the Baltics. In the coming weeks I’ll take part in gigs and public presentations in Üle Heli Festival in Talinn, No Patent Pending # 15 in Mooste and the No Patent Pending # 16 in Helsinki.

Special thanks to Q-O2 for co-supporting my artist residency here in MoKS

No Patent Pending #16

(iii) Instrument Inventors Initiative is an artist run platform based in The Hague, that develops self-made media which supports idiosyncratic research trajectories that zig-zag between disciplines and distribution channels.

ASANTE SANA (…thank you..) lovely Dar Es Salaam audience for visiting the vernissage of [Context, Gravity, Expressions] It was a real pleasure to see such a big turnout.

… and endless gratitude to Anoek De Smet (pic below): hardly any electricity and hardly any internet (even minutes before the opening) made it all extra challenging. But it’s your great ideas  and your perseverance that made this audio visual exhibition possible even in the most difficult circumstances. So thanks again for inviting me into this unique project and to make my long-time dream to collaborate with Nicholas Calvin turn into reality.

BIG THANK you also to Alliance Française Dar Es Salaam for allowing us to inhabit your beautiful space for a short while. And special thanks to the generous support of the Belgian Embassy in Dar Es Salaam.
