For this she uses video, photography, light projection and reflective materials such as glass or mirrors. By uniting the parameters of building, visitors and artistic intervention, she heightens the sensations of and interactions between time and space. Her aesthetic strategy can be called purified and minimalist. The technological, sculptural or architectural interventions do not essentially transform the given space, but offer an alternative perspective. In the process, the functional dimension of the space is temporarily removed, making way for an aesthetic experience. In her questioning and fertilisation of space, Thomaes regularly uses linguistic concepts. These provide her with the conceptual tools she needs to interact carefully with the environment and the scenography of the space. Because her working method is essentially site-specific, it is also limited in time and space. The visual documentation of her interventions guarantees their continued existence. Therefore, the publication of this documentation in book form guarantees that her interventions come to life in another physical space - that of the book and the page.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor her intervention in INBOX of the M HKA, Thomaes took an existing building as a starting point, namely the Belgian pavilion in the Venetian Giardini, designed by L\u0026eacute;on Sneyers and renovated in the 90s by Georges Baines. Thomaes has long been fascinated by the modernist building, particularly by its symmetry, minimalist design and magisterial zenithal light. A cardboard scale model has been in her studio for some time now and serves as a zone of exploration. The images projected onto the walls of INBOX are digitally and analogously realised in the model. By projecting these black-and-white images in careful timing into this white cube space, the artist brings a stylised interpretation of the pavilion and its specific light conditions. The result is not an architectural experience but its sublimation into an aesthetic and poetic choreography. Architecture is here literally and figuratively abstracted into its visual essence, a geometric play of planes, horizontals and verticals, light and shadow. Like a melancholy ode to a lost modernism. The visitor inevitably casts shadows on the projections, so that the purified images are temporarily distorted and inhabited by the silhouettes of the viewers. A little further on, the artist installs a surveillance camera that records the sky for four weeks. The images can be seen on a fixed screen near the INBOX space. In this way, inside and outside, real and fictitious time, art and non-art world are permanently involved and played off against each other.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eJohan Pas\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eVIDEO\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to this presentation, a compilation of Monique Thomaes\u0026rsquo; video works (1995-2021)\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eis shown in the auditorium (3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c/sup\u003e floor) on the following days:\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThursday 30 June 2022, 19:00-21:00\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSundays\u0026nbsp;10, 17, 24, 31 July and\u0026nbsp;7 August 2022\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSaturdays 9, 16, 23, 30 July and 6 August 2022\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","name":"INBOX: Monique Thomaes - PAVILJOEN","short_description":"","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePREVIEW EN BOEKPRESENTATIE \u0026quot;A VENIR\u0026quot;\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDONDERDAG 30.06, 19:00-21:00\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSinds de vroege jaren 90 onderzoekt Monique Thomaes hoe de perceptie en beleving van architecturale ruimtes verhevigd, vertraagd of bevraagd kan worden. Daarvoor bedient ze zich van video, fotografie, lichtprojectie en reflecterende materialen als glas of spiegels. Door de parameters gebouw, bezoekers en artistieke interventie op elkaar los te laten, verhevigt zij de gewaarwordingen van en de interacties tussen tijd en ruimte. Haar esthetische strategie kan uitgepuurd en minimalistisch genoemd worden. De technologische, sculpturale of architecturale ingrepen transformeren de gegeven ruimte niet in wezen, maar bieden een alternatief perspectief. Daarbij wordt de functionele dimensie van de ruimte tijdelijk opgeheven en maakt ze plaats voor een esthetische beleving. In haar bevraging en bevruchting van de ruimte hanteert Thomaes regelmatig talige concepten. Die bieden haar de conceptuele handvaten om de interactie met de omgeving en de scenografie van de ruimte zorgzaam en zorgvuldig aan te gaan. Doordat haar werkwijze in wezen site-specifiek is, is ze ook beperkt in tijd en ruimte. De visuele documentatie van haar ingrepen garandeert hun voortbestaan. Daarom biedt de publicatie van deze documentatie in boekvorm de garantie dat haar interventies in een andere fysieke ruimte -die van het boek en pagina- tot leven komen.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eVoor haar interventie in INBOX van het M HKA nam Thomaes een bestaand gebouw als vertrekpunt, met name het Belgisch paviljoen in de Venetiaanse Giardini, ontworpen door L\u0026eacute;on Sneyers en in de jaren 90 gerenoveerd door Georges Baines. Thomaes is reeds lang gefascineerd door het modernistische gebouw, met name door de symmetrie, de minimalistische conceptie en de magistrale zenitale lichtinval. Een schaalmodel in karton staat al een tijd in haar atelier en fungeert als een zone van exploratie. De beelden die op de wanden van INBOX geprojecteerd worden zijn digitaal en analoog gerealiseerd in de maquette. Door deze zwartwit beelden in een zorgvuldige timing uitvergroot in deze white cube ruimte te projecteren brengt de kunstenaar een gestileerde interpretatie van het paviljoen en zijn kenmerkende lichtinval. Het resultaat is geen architecturale ervaring maar de sublimatie ervan tot een esthetische en po\u0026euml;tische choreografie. Architectuur wordt hier letterlijk en figuurlijk geabstraheerd tot haar visuele essentie, een geometrisch spel van vlakken, horizontalen en vertikalen, licht en schaduw. Als een melancholische ode aan het verloren modernisme. De bezoeker werpt onvermijdelijk steeds schaduwen af op de projecties waardoor de uitgepuurde beelden tijdelijk verstoord en bewoond worden door de silhouetten van de kijkers. Iets verderop installeert de kunstenaar een bewakingscamera die gedurende vier weken de lucht registreert. De beelden zijn te zien op een vast scherm vlakbij de INBOX ruimte. Binnen en buiten, re\u0026euml;le en fictieve tijd, kunst- en niet-kunst-wereld worden zo permanent op elkaar betrokken en tegen elkaar uitgespeeld.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e- Johan Pas\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003eVIDEO\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTer aanvulling bij deze enscenering \u0026nbsp;wordt er in het auditorium (3\u003csup\u003ee\u003c/sup\u003e\u0026nbsp;verdieping)\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eeen compilatie van Monique Thomaes\u0026rsquo; videowerken (1995-2021) vertoond\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eop volgende dagen:\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDonderdag 30 juni, 19:00 - 21:00\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eZondagen 10, 17, 24, 31 juli en 7 augustus 2022\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eZaterdagen 9, 16, 23, 30 juli en 6 augustus 2022\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003ePUBLICATIE \u0026quot;A VENIR\u0026quot;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUitgegeven door Stockmans Art Books\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEditie van 600 ex., NL, EN, DE\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e210 x 275 mm, staand\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover met stofwikkel/poster, 320 pagina\u0026rsquo;s binnenwerk\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eDiverse offset-druktechnieken verspreid in het boek met deel in duotone,\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003edeel Paviljoen met metallic inkt; full colour voor de archiefkaternen\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003emet 4 losse PVC-vellen los bijgevoegd in het boek als artistieke interventie\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn totaal 7 papiersoorten\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTeksten van Johan Pas en Angelika Stepken\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTe koop in de M HKA-shop aan \u0026euro; 50,00\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","name":"INBOX: Monique Thomaes - PAVILION","short_description":"","description":"\u003ch2 data-placeholder=\"Vertaling\" dir=\"ltr\" id=\"tw-target-text\"\u003eAVANT-PREMI\u0026Egrave;RE ET PR\u0026Eacute;SENTATION DU LIVRE \u0026quot;A VENIR\u0026quot;\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTHU 30.06, 19:00-21:00\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSince the early 1990s, Monique Thomaes has been investigating how the perception and experience of architectural spaces can be intensified, slowed down or questioned.
