EXPO
I n t e r l u d e
With a practice that through time has moved from painted matter to sculptural-based objects often manufactured through found or recycled materials, Vanoverbeke is particularly interested in looking at the physical presence of objects in space, their functions and dis-functions, and also their statutory uses and daily ‘misuses.’
Emerged from an immersive period of observation and relational encounter, the set of objects composing the installation are both a delicate apprehension, playful commentary and fresh recontextualization of some of the ephemeral traces that make the very daily construction of urbanity in a context such as the city of Marrakech.
Wassla – وصلة – an intermezzo is not intended to provide an objective reading of these land-marks. Rather, if each work is indeed permeated by the gestures or spatial practices observed on the ground, yet their very dis-play freely borrows from them. A set of strategies are hence adopted, repeated or combined in the artworks’ rearrangement, displacement and replacement in the art space. Processes of scaling up and down, of reassigned usages, and of translation of both symbolic meaning and material supports set the tone of the spatial proposal of Vanoverbeke. In turn, the title of the installation, a reference to an in-between and a break, a pause that, rather than empty space, is otherwise productive time, finally marks the tempo of this production, as well as the perceived condition of the journey and the residency in the artist’s path.

These pictures are images of objects that I created during my stay at Le 18.
Wassla - wich means ”something in between”- is the title of the exhibition that took place in the residency.
