An audiovisual encounter between street artist & ‘image creator’ Vincent Glowinski (Bonom) and ambient composer Natasha Pirard. In an improvisational performance, they take you on an electrifying journey of composition, movement, light and contrast.
Glowinski and Pirard met earlier this year at STUK in the frame of the Body of Work festival. This poetic Blind date was the result of a short studio session together.
Vincent Glowinski, born in Paris, is a versatile visual and performance artist. Under the pseudonym Bonom, he gained recognition as a street artist, known for his large-scale paintings on gables and facades in Brussels and Paris. At the same time, he develops visual arts projects and live performances combining dance and drawing, in close collaboration with live musicians. In addition to drawing and monumental painting, his visual projects turn to sculpture, with skin and leather parchment as his materials of affection. His work adopts all these varied forms, creating a singular universe.
Natasha Pirard is a Ghent-based musicologist and composer. She studied Art Sciences and Musicology at the University of Ghent. Pirard’s fascination with the phase-shifting technique, introduced by composer Steve Reich, led her to study musicology and the composers’ influence remains tangible in her compositions. Inspired by his approach, Pirard explores the thin line of tonal and atonal frictions and explores the ability to create an interesting dialogue of continuous and interrupted tape loops. During her live performances, these concepts come to life as she manipulates tape loops, transforming them into musicians in their own right. Pirard's debut album Dream Cycles is a collection of four cassettes, each featuring a 15-minute composition on both sides, resulting in 120 minutes of music. Besides her musical career, Pirard also uses her background in music as a moderator during concert series or festivals with artists such as Suzanne Ciani, Felicia Atkinson and Jules Reidy.
