PRESENTATION

Born in Folkstone, England and currently living and working as an artist in Brussels, Belgium. Ann Veronica Janssens is a sculptor of light, sound and space. She works in a minimal way without belonging to minimal art. Her work is associated with the minimalist movement is due to the clear design and choice of materials.

Materials she uses a lot are: transparant, glossy, contrary, compacted and apparently, inaccessible.

Ann Veronica's work always relates to the space, an open or closed space, full or empty or small or vast.

Sometimes she makes minute changes and sometimes complex interventions that are related to the architecture of the building or place where she exhibits. This with the aim of allowing the viewer to look at the surrounding space in a different way. She stimulates the senses with her work.

l'espace infini - 2002
The infinite space, the figure is absorbed by the light and the space, just as mystics in search of an absolute experience are allowed to shine through the divine light.

YellowBluePink
Invading the gallery with coloured mist - an ongoing experiment since her first fog-sculpture in 1997 - any detail of surface or depth within the space is blurred, and the viewers’ attention drawn to the process of perception itself through the medium of light and colour.

Untitled (Lightbeam) is a bright beam of light that cuts through a darkened space like a flat wedge. Myriad fabrics light up in this wedge, creating an optical wall. The visual sensation is so strong that you hesitate to walk through it. When you mow your arm through it, a swirl of dusty bright spots of light is created.

Alicja Kwade is a Polish contemporary visual artist. Her sculptures and installations focus on the subjectivity of time and space. Kwade manipulates common materials like wood, glass, and copper through chemical processes to explore the ephemerality of the physical world.

Light Transfer of Nature, 2015. Game of perception, occupation of space by the body. Anamorphic report.

Teleportation (Kerzen), 2010

In this work the light of an object is transported by the reflection in the glass to the next object. The situation changes depending on the viewer's position; sometimes the object seems to glow, then only half so, then to be turned off completely.

1979 leere Liter bis zum Anfang, 2010

The work consists of two barrelfuls of finely ground champagne bottles. The glittery heap of green-and-white powder is entitled 1979 Liters to the Beginning, 2010, the artist’s year of birth having determined the amount of material. Here she uses the associative connection between champagne and luxury to allegorize the amassment of wealth and luxury in a very poetic manner with the pulverization of glas.
