Rubén Orio & Lore Stessel - VETA#3
Rubén Orio en Lore Stessel werken in STUK aan hun performance VETA#3, te zien op de Showcase Emerging Sound 2019 op 16 mei.
VETA is een samenwerkingsproject tussen percussionist Rubén Orio en fotograaf/schilder Lore Stessel rond hun gezamenlijke fascinatie voor hout.
Als materiaal is hout alomtegenwoordig in ons leven. Het heeft bovendien de uitzonderlijke capaciteit dat het kan groeien in elke richting; het kan samentrekken en uitzetten - het leeft. In hun praktijk onderzoeken Orio en Stessel de schijnbare gelijkenissen tussen mens en hout; aders, kleur, eigenschappen om te groeien en vloeistoffen te transporteren. In hun gedachtenexperiment beschouwen ze hout als een menselijk lichaam.
In VETA#3 activeren Lore en Ruben de sculpturale elementen van de installatie VETA#2 in een site-specifieke performance. Ze schenken bijzondere aandacht aan de dialoog tussen de vorm van het beeld en de vorm van het geluid.
Lore Stessel
(°1987, Leuven)
The work of Lore Stessel emerges in an intense process of attraction and repulsion between photography and painting. For Stessel, photography captures a lot of detail in a short concentration span, maintaining a direct relation to reality, whereas painting offers freedom, materiality and possibilities to create. Stessel’s work often addresses the human being, be it in its physical presence or its legacy. She is fascinated by the beauty of daily routines, small gestures and the power of movement.
Lore Stessel received a Master in Painting from the Luca School of Arts, Brussels in 2009 and a Master from l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie Arles in 2012. In that same year, she won the Louis Rouderer price. She is represented by Rossicontemporary, Brussels, and lives and works in Leuven.
