U bent van harte uitgenodigd bij de studio-presentatie Moving Landscape op vrijdag 25 augustus 2017, om 20:00 uur bij Cloud/Danslab.

Moving Landscape ontvouwt zich als multidisciplinair onderzoek naar het concept landschap in performance kunst. Kunstenaar Ronald Bal transformeert Cloud Danslab tot een hybride plek, waar performers uit verschillende disciplines (dans, circus en beeldende kunst), middels het lichaam antwoord zoeken rondom de verbeelding van het concept landschap. Het resultaat is een performance-installatie met sculpturale en abstracte dans die relaties aangaan met de schilderijen van Mondriaan.

In Moving Landscape zet Bal de relatie tussen de schilder- en performance kunst, figuratief en abstract, manipulatie en natuur op scherp. Door de zintuiglijke en denkbeeldige condities van de schilder Mondriaan voorop te stellen, ontstaat een speelruimte voor ontmoeting met verschillende artistieke disciplines.

De presentatie Moving Landscape is het eerste resultaat van Bal’s onderzoek naar het concept landschap en wordt in de komende maanden verder ontwikkeld als performance-installatie.

Performers en co-choreografie: Ralph Öllinger en Jorga Lok (circus artist), 黃祥昀 (hsiang-yun), Larysa Bauge (performance artist), Sonia Zini (danser) en James Hewitt (muzikant)

Kostuums: Aliki van der Kruijs

English version

You are cordially invited to the studio presentation Moving Landscape, on August 25, 2017 at 8 pm at Cloud/Danslab.

Moving landscape unfolds as a multidisciplinary research on the concept of landscape in performance art. Artist Ronald Bal transforms Cloud Danslab into a hybrid place, where performers from different disciplines (dance, circus, and visual arts), explore embodied responses to the imagination of the concept landscape. This results in a performance installation with a sculptural and abstract dance that relate to the paintings of Mondrian.

In Moving Landscape, Bal sharpens the relationship between painting and performance art, the figurative and the abstract, manipulation and nature. By emphasizing the sensory and imaginary conditions of the painter Mondrian, a playing field arises for an encounter between different artistic disciplines.

The presentation of Moving Landscape is the first result of Bal’s research on the concept of landscape and will be developed further in the coming months into a performance-installation.

Performers: Ralph Öllinger and Jorga Lok (circus artist), 黃祥昀 (hsiang-yun), Larysa Bauge (performance artist), Sonia Zini (dancer) and James Hewitt (musician)

Costumes: Aliki van der Kruijs
Filmmaker: Gemma Groot and Dorien Pfauth

Residence | Performance artist Ronald Bal | 2 – 9 July

From 2 – 9 July at CLOUD Danslab

Ronald Bal graduated as a visual artist at ArtEZ Zwolle (the Netherlands) and was awarded with the ‘Best of graduates 2010’ exhibition at Gallery Ron Mandos in Amsterdam. His work is shown at diverse museums and project spaces, including museum CODA in Apeldoorn (2104-2015) 21 Rozendaal in Enschede  (2010), National Palace of Culture in Sofia (2016) and the Grimmuseum in Berlin (2013). In addition, Ronald Bal participated in various festivals and academic conferences, such as PAO 2015 in Oslo, Creature Live Art in Kaunas (2014), Venice International Performance Art Week in Venice (2016) and the academic conference ‘The politics of Performance and Play. Feminist Matters (Leiden University, 2016). From 2010 – 2016 Gallery Zerp in Rotterdam represented his work and showed his work in various exhibitions and art fairs. Ronald Bal also taught performance art at Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam and during PAS 2014 (Performance Art Studies) in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Characteristic for Ronald Bal is a multidisciplinary practice that integrates visual- and performance art through various methods of translation, such as choreography, sculpture, video and storytelling. In doing so he explores the language of movement, creates spaces to expose and elude systems of representation and mechanisms of subjectification, and aims to reformulate the relationship between the object and the subject.
