Presentation of a film and drawings by U–jazdowski resident artist Lore Smolders
We invite you to the presentation of the film and drawings by the artist Lore Smolders, which were created during her three-month residency at U–jazdowski.
Referring to the drawing that doctors and therapists make to explain an internal problem, Lore Smolders started using drawing as a communication tool in the start of her residency process. Questionning her role as a resident/observer at U–Jazdowski, she got interested in both the physical and emotional space experienced by the employees of the Centre. The work she develops deals with topics of hierarchy, misunderstandings, polarisation, reflexology, stress, the witness, in an attempt to connect personal and political dimensions with each other. The diagrammatical drawings function as a basis for the storytelling in which the building becomes a body and the liminal spaces are a symbol for waiting.
Collaboration with Marek Sokołowski (PL, camera), Alan Van Rompuy (BE/CH, sound artist), Marcin Liminowicz (PL, camera, editor)
The event will take place in the Cistern – a 19th-century basement located in the courtyard of the Ujazdowski Castle.
Lore Smolders (Belgium, °1987) is a visual artist working with drawing, language, publication, objects and installation.
Residency realised with financial support from the Government of Flanders.
