(UN)COMMON GROUNDS - UNTIL 29.05
Though the works of Vica Pacheco are rooted in music and sound art, her visual practice also spans ceramics and 3d animation.
“Animacy Or A Breath Manifest” emerged from an investigation into pre-Columbian instruments made from ceramics. This resulted in a series of hydraulic whistle-sculptures that open up an entire new sonic universe.

EXPO: (UN)COMMON GROUNDS - UNTIL 29.05
Line Boogaerts works in site-specific drawings, performance, film, and video installation by concentrating on environmental observation through temporary drawings on windows.
At iMAL, the installation "Double Focus" will bind the inside and outside by layering into the transparency that is in between, thus adding a layer to reality.
Her work is on view during the (un)common grounds exhibition until May 29th. All information: https://www.imal.org/en/events/un-common-grounds
Pierre Coric employs technology to challenge conventional notions of perception in diverse installations.
“As we continue” is a clock that only activates when it senses a person’s looking at it. It thus measures presence and attention, shaping the space around it and people’s behavior while being shaped in turn.
Find the installation in (un)common grounds at iMAL, opening May 14th, 5 - 8 pm
The exhibition is open until May 29th from Wed-Sun.

(UN)COMMON GROUNDS - 14.05 - 29.05
#StijnWybouw’s practice includes music and visual elements stretched through experimental situations and modalities.
His performance and installation “Tot de kaars uit is” (“Until the candle goes out”) is an endurance test as well as an almost spiritual pursuit conducted through singing and playing.
You can watch the performance during the opening of “(un)common grounds” at iMAL on May 14th.

Céline Vahsen got creative with us for a residency in the framework of our IPO (iMAL Projects Office) the last few weeks.
With a contemporary approach, she explored techniques that are rooted in ancestral textile creation. The research she started at iMAL involves the development of textile techniques, manual weaving and dyeing, enhanced by industrial input.
Discover more about Céline's residency at iMAL here:https://www.imal.org/en/events/celine-vahsen
Tomorrow marks the opening of TECHNO ROMANCE: Data, Dating, Desire in the framework of Electron Festival in Genève. Might sound a little familiar, as this is a new iteration of the exhibition curated by Valentina Peri that we presented last year at iMAL. Head on down if you are in Genève!
