Performance Installation by Koen Delaere and Sun-Mi Hong

On Friday, June 12 at 4:30 p.m., ArtBase Terneuzen, as part of Zeeland Jazz: Transitivity, presents a sensational live encounter between painting and jazz featuring visual artist Koen Delaere and drummer/composer Sun-Mi Hong.

For this special occasion, Koen Delaere will create a spatial installation of paintings in the Terneuzen City Hall, to which Sun-Mi Hong will respond live. The painting is not a finished object, but an active instrument that resonates and responds. For the audience, seeing and listening merge, while performance, installation, and environment gradually flow into one another.

The performance installation by Koen Delaere and Sun-Mi Hong will also be open to visitors on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

On Saturday, June 13 at 3:30 p.m., curator Eva Langerak will be in conversation with visual artist Koen Delaere about his working methods, improvisation, and the importance of creative freedom. Delaere, who grew up in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, has collaborated with musicians and performers for many years. In 2008, he founded Whatspace, a nomadic art platform without a permanent location, dedicated to new forms of collaboration, production, and presentation.
