Kris Verdonck – EXHIBITION #1 – Warehouse of machinery, used in performances / installations (1995 – present)

These appliances and objects are normally situated behind the scenes of a performance or show. The machines often look like medieval instruments (of torture). At the same time, they are often high-technological objects, that fulfil complex functions. They form a large contrast with the extreme esthetical images that they produce.

The overview of machines by Kris Verdonck addresses the field of tension between man and machine in today’s society. What relationship can/must/do people want to enter into with technology? How difficult is the balancing act between human control and submission to machines?

Kris Verdonck – EXHIBITION #1 – GOSSIP

Image by Z33 art centre, Hasselt
The garden installation EXOTE shapes a spatial environment for the characters of Kris Verdonck’s Kafka-esque world. This end-of-the-world landscape houses a selection of the most invasive alien species (plants and animals) in Belgium, which constitute a genuine threat to biodiversity, the economy and public health. Due to man’s interference, the species have been brought out of their natural environment and now form a threat for other, native species. EXOTE stands as a metaphor for a world in which man is increasingly forced to protect himself from an environment that he himself has created.

As certain non-native species in the installation present a potential threat to biodiversity in Hasselt and the surrounding areas, visitors need to be aware that even the smallest seed or animal cannot be allowed to escape. The evolution of the garden, the protective clothing and the safety provisions involved in the installation form an essential and necessary part of the artwork.
