IMPROV Night, with Lieze De Middelier

At Improv Nights artists from all disciplines are invited to present unfinished work to an audience in an intimate atmosphere. This time we will welcome Lieze De Middelier :

“In October 22, I traveled to Israel and Palestine. I took some sculptures with me. All these sculptures are pieces of skin of models. Casts of their beautiful skin, but also from traces that clothes leave in our bodies. Those pieces of skin traveled with me trough Palestine and Israel.”

Lieze is a sculptor with a special interest in the human body. In her recent process she introduces photography to re-contextualise her casted skin fragments – a medium which is completely new in her work.
On this evening she  ‘test-presented’ a new series of works to us. Lieze invited the visitors to ‘Play & Select’ – an interactive presentation she developed in which the participants choose from the material given by her – and create narratives between her plaster sculptures and the photographies she took on her journey.
