Edith Dekyndt. Tell us something that nobody knows
A look at the exhibition and the two performances that took place on the opening weekend.
Nature and culture, urban and rural areas are changing profoundly, not least as a result of human activity. In these changing times, Belgian artist Edith Dekyndt (*1960 in Ypres, Belgium) focuses her attention on the often invisible, silent forces of transformation. Starting from everyday or natural materials and sounds, she sets processes of change in motion through targeted interventions. These often proceed physically or chemically and lead to painterly and sculptural manifestations. The aesthetics vary between fragility and brutality, between seduction and destruction. The works are complemented by specially developed performances in which original themes are linked to contemporary issues. The Kunsthalle Bielefeld, its location on the banks of the River Lutter and the more than 800-year history of the linen-weaving town of Bielefeld form the site-specific background to the presentation.
