Thomas Min & Egon van Herreweghe:
Time to get in shape

Donderdag 28 maart organiseren Thomas Min & Egon Van Herreweghe een livestream filmvertoning over Muscle Beach waarvan ze de omheining in de Kunsthal Gent nagebouwd hebben.

De beelden worden gestreamd vanuit Venice Beach (Los Angeles, CA) en live van montage en geluid voorzien. Door in te zoomen op Muscle Beach teleporteren ze de kunstliefhebbers en nieuwsgierigen als het ware naar de West Coast van de VS om het contrast tussen beide locaties te belichten. Want terwijl wij de dag afsluiten ligt Venice Beach nog in de zon te blinken.

Drie jaar terug hadden Thomas Min & Egon Van Herreweghe de omheining van Muscle Beach al in het vizier. Dat ze de installatie anno 2019 full scale zouden nabouwen hadden ze toen niet durven voorspellen. Tot eind mei is het werk integraal te zien in Kunsthal Gent. Nadien zullen de kunstenaars regelmatig een stuk uitsnijden en verplaatsen naar private en publieke locaties. Maar voor het zover is willen Min en Van Herreweghe nog eens inzoomen op hun ‘liefde op het eerste gezicht’.

De livestream filmvertoning gaat door op donderdag 28 maart van 22u tot 01:00 s’nachts en is de hele tijd vrij toegankelijk. Adres: Kunsthal Gent, Lange Steenstraat 14, 9000 Gent, www.kunsthal.gent
