Vrijdagavonden: Travelogue of De Lieve

  • The bar is open from 19:00
  • Program starts at 20:00
  • Entrance: Pay What You Can
Travelogue Of De Lieve

Piloot Public Art Platform presents: "Travelogue of De Lieve", a video by Filip Van Dingenen and Hélène Meyer, about a parade of troubadours along De Lieve, Europe's oldest canal. The video follows the troubadours on their exploration of the Lieve, through urban development, suburbia and countryside. Including an 'ode to the Lieve' by spoken word artist Lindah Nyirenda.

We will also show a fragment from last year's open air opera PLOT on Tondelier, in which 'The Travelogue of De Lieve' played a role. Van Dingenen's research on De Lieve started on Tondelier: from here, beyond the Rabot towers, the Lieve disappears underground.

After the screening, Filip Van Dingenen and Alain Platel will talk about the work and the potential of a parade for De Lieve as a yearly collaborative ritual.

~

In the summer of 2022, a motley troupe of troubadours roamed the original route of De Lieve for several days. The canal starts in Ghent at the Gravensteen Castle and only runs until the Rabot, but originally it connected the city with the North Sea until its mouth at the Zwin. As the Zwin silted up, the economic importance of the Lieve declined and, over the centuries, large parts of the route disappeared. An enquiry into the vanished canal has played a leading role in Filip Van Dingenen's research around Tondelier (the urban development focus of PILOOT Public Art Platform) for several years.

The video follows the troubadours on their exploration of the Lieve, through urban development, suburbia and countryside. Including an ode to the Lieve by spoken word artist Lindah Nyirenda.

Friday Evenings

Every Friday evening for 9 weeks, Kunsthal Gent will host a program centered around one or more artists, a collective or organization. From an artist talk, debate or book presentation to a performance, documentary or film evening.

The events are partly related to Kunsthal Gent's artistic program and have grown out of the courses of artists with whom we currently collaborate, such as the evenings with Eleni Kamma (in collaboration with Hans Bryssinck and KASK Performance students), Dieter Durinck and Ben Benaouisse.

However, much of Vrijdagavonden's program comes about in dialogue and collaboration with local partners and artists. For this series we collaborated with, among others, Lochness, School of Love, Martina Petrović & Robert Monchen (In de Ruimte) Filip Van Dingenen and Hélène Meyer (PILOOT).
