Ommery De Zutter, KIOSKexpoAgendaArtistic activitiesThroughout July and August, Ommery De Zutter inhabited KIOSK as artist in residence. While KIOSK remained closed to the public during the summer, Ommery De Zutter, used the anatomical theater as a map for creating an immersive VR experience.
Ommery De Zutter’s exhibition de Wereldgeest, resulting from this residency, opens on 12 September and will be on view until 4 October.
What happens when creationbecomes materially endless?
When skills as a means of creation begin to play a secondary role?
How would expression unfold then?
In what way would it be different?
Is it valid?
Does it remain valid when it continues to be about itself?
Or does creation then become too entangled in itself?
And if that is the case, why shouldn’t it simply be allowed to
When does creation become useful to the Other?
Isn’t creation emerging from creation itself precisely creation?
Does it make sense to investigate the same idea from emptiness when someone has already taken it up from an established position?
Can we accept it when creation is no longer intended for us?
Where does the balance with the Other lie during creation?
Is the imbalance of time and energy with the Other not precisely what is necessary for creation?
Are we also the Other? Are we without the Other?
Does thinking about creation and the Other disrupt the existing balance?
Isn’t it simply obvious that the next forms of creation will move beyond our own abstraction, emerging from semantic-geometric constructions that surpass our own understanding and give rise to new realities?
Veva Leye, Jelle Martens, KIOSKexpoAgendaArtistic activitiesDrawing from seemingly endlessly proliferating word sequences—which arise from a single word through a simple rule and through association—Veva Leye creates montages that present the same words in completely different ways. Uncannily coagulating, these word images expand and contract in an accordion-like movement. A similar rhythm characterizes Jelle Martens’ (photo)graphic registrations that combine fragments, reproductions and trivial observations into layered prints and drawings. Every print layer, every drawing operates as a temporary frame bringing together images that only temporarily solidify, overlap, and fall apart again. Image and language tumble along, stumble upon. Letters form words form images reading looking.

The tests test the candidate's drawing skills and 3D understanding, as well as some basic artistic skills such as dealing with references, conceptual thinking and handling feedback.

Minimum sewing materials to be provided: Two white ironed men's shirts (preferably second-hand) and sufficient pins (without coloured heads). Sewing kit is not necessary.
Bring your preparatory dossier with you to your interview.
A jury will interview each candidate.

The prepared work is discussed and the candidate is given a chance to explain it.
Please note that locations and times are subject to change. Changes will be communicated on the spot.
For phase 1, candidates will receive their results by email. Students who have not passed will receive a brief feedback session about the test by telephone during the week.
For phase 2, students will receive the results of their entrance examination. Students who have not passed will receive a brief, exploratory feedback session about the examination on the same day. This will take a maximum of 5 minutes. This is not a teaching moment and is only intended to contextualise the result and advise the student about further possibilities. After this session, feedback on the examination is no longer possible.
