DAVID BERGÉ
A WALK IN HIGH RESOLUTION (WALK PIECE)
a Walk Piece presented by Netwerk Aalst
FRIDAY 22.11.2019, AT 7:30 AM |
| |
This Walk Piece is a carefully composed walk during which participants are guided by the artist in silence along a precise trajectory and within a precise timeframe, through the textures and infrastructures that comprise the city of Aalst.
With this Walk Piece David Bergé proposes an altered kind of perception of the city, one that will cut through the fabric of Aalst, to then stitch it back together again by the shared act of walking. The act of walking together, while being taken care of by a guide, invokes the intimacy of unmediated communication.
The trajectory of the walk resonates with the phenomenological minutiae of street life and for the entire duration of the Walk Piece, audience members refrain from verbal exchange and taking pictures.
Participation through registration only.
Due to the limited capacity (7 people), a lottery system will be in place.
For registration and information: charlotte@netwerkaalst.be.
Duration: 106 min

A WALK IN HIGH RESOLUTION (EXHIBITION)
at Out of Sight
Curated by Dušica Dražic
23.11 - 22.12.2019 | Opening :: Saturday, 23 November, 6-10pm |
| |
Bodies tune down together:
moments of intense intimacy through synchronization;
a slowed down depiction of the co-presence of the elements
one finds in the exterior of urban life.
Since 2008, David Bergé has been making Walk Pieces, during which the artist guides participants in silence along a precise trajectory and within a precise timeframe through textures and infrastructures that comprise the city. Walking together resonates with the phenomenological minutiae of street life.
Walk Pieces have passed through ancient, modern and contemporary infrastructures: a museum without a floor, in the proximity of containers being offloaded from trucks, through narrow alleys and over large squares, through the bedroom of an art collector, the stage of an opera and an almost finished metro tunnel.
The exhibition A Walk in High Resolution is a visual and spatial travel book that revisits Bergé’s silent Walk Pieces in Berlin, Ostend, Vienna, Istanbul, Aalst, Tokyo, Brussels, Tbilisi, Thessaloniki and Seoul, cross-sectioned with our personal geographies.
Once again we are walking together.

A WALK IN HIGH RESOLUTION (BOOK)
artist book with text contributions by David Bergé, Dieter Roelstraete and Marcelo Rezende, layouted by Remco van Bladel and published by Jap Sam Books |

Since 2008, artist David Bergé has been making Walk Pieces, during which he guides participants in silence along a precise trajectory and within a precise timeframe through textures and infrastructures that comprise the city. Walking together resonates with the phenomenological minutiae of street life and for the entire duration of the Walk Piece, participants refrain from verbal exchange and picture taking.
Participating in a Walk Piece and/or your personal experience of reading this book are the only valid materializations of David Bergé’s ephemeral works.
A Walk in High Resolution deals with corporeality, sleeping, awakening, and walking through the interiors and fissures of urban infrastructures. Almost touching neighboring bodies, reliving experiences in cities by being absorbed in space that is at once personal, reflective, consumptive, and the other, we walk through cities.
A Walk in High Resolution joins together texts by David Bergé, photos by Seoul-based Junyong Cho, and essays by Dieter Roelstraete (author of Richard Long: A Line Made by Walking) and Marcelo Rezende (co-director of the Archiv der Avantgarden in Dresden).
Dimensions: 19 x 26 cm, 96 pages

available spring 2020

| Istanbul Theatre Festival 2019 |

The collaboration between the Istanbul Theatre Festival, Belgium-based Platform 0090 and the Flemish Ministry of Culture continues in 2019. Flemish Ministry of Culture is contributing to the festival this year by supporting the dance companies Ultima Vez and Voetvolk, and the work of Begüm Erciyas.
In the context of a collaboration between Istanbul Theatre Festival, the Flanders Arts Institute and Platform 0090, we invite three artists Charlotte Bouckaert, Jan Maertens, Meryem Bayram who work on scenography and light design to give an insight in their work and working methods. Main issue is the question of timing. When does a discussion and dialogue on scenography and /or light design enter into the creative proces of making a theaterpiece, a dance performance or installation? What is the status of this contribution, how autonomous can a light design or a scenography proposal behave?

Culture Club is the culture radio program on Radio 1, which brings culture in all its richness to the fore.
Reportere Layla El-Dekmak is joining the Festival to try to understand the value of cross-influencing, to look for the differences and the common ground between Turkish and Belgian theatres. Where do they come together, and where are they miles apart? And what happens when you create a space where both worlds are present together?
