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.

visual portfolio
A representative selection of personal work. The work in this portfolio should relate to the film programme: photographs, films, music, drawings, collages, etc. Autonomous artistic work and school-based commissions are possible, but group works made in school are not eligible. Texts, photos, scans of drawings/paintings, etc. are bundled in a pdf document and forwarded together with the rest of the preparatory dossier.
The film should be placed on Vimeo (where a 'Basic' account can be created free of charge). In the portfolio, you then place a link to these films on Vimeo.
Send the portfolio as a PDF document. Adapt the file name according to this scheme: lastname_firstname_portfolio.pdf
film
A self-made film of up to 3 minutes. The choice of subject, style, form and elaboration are free, but must show observation skills and authenticity. Please avoid video clips. School-based group works are not eligible.
Adapt your file name according to this scheme: lastname_firstname_film
Use common file formats (.mov, .mp4) and keep file size within limits.
The test starts with a written part. During the afternoon and the following days, you will be invited for some motivational interviews and a practical test.
written test and film review
The candidate must provide a written answer to a general question on a current social, cultural and/or artistic issue. For the film admission test, you must also discuss and analyse a film. You will be asked questions relating to film content and form.
The aim is to allow the examining board to form a picture of the candidate's theoretical prior education, to gauge the ability to formulate an opinion, to develop a line of reasoning and to edit a short written text.
motivation interviews
During 3 motivation interviews, the candidate's motivation towards art education in general and the specific field of study in particular will be examined. The preparatory dossier forms the basis for the interview and questioning. It is important that the candidate can explain the elements in the dossier and clarify the study choice and expectations.
Interests, general and cultural knowledge, thinking skills, creative attitudes and understanding of image formation are probed. Important qualities here are: critical sense, commitment, drive, love of art and design, perseverance, self-discipline and sense of humour.
photo test
A photo assignment will be given on the spot. Bring your own, simple digital camera; a mobile phone with photo function will do.
Please note that locations and times are subject to change. Changes will be communicated on the spot.
On the last day of the session, there will be deliberations and proclamation including a feedback moment. During the proclamation, candidates will learn whether they are accepted or not.
