The Belgian artist Stijn Van Dorpe hosts an evening at Studiolo, during which he introduces his practice in general, as well as some research interests he is focusing on during his residency at KW Institute for Contemporary Art. Stijn Van Dorpeʼs work investigates the interrelation between the art space and our current social world. His interests follow aesthetic frameworks which are embedded in capitalist society; He interrogates the meaning of contemporary creative production and tries to keep paths open to new potential points of view.

This intimate lecture performance will contextualize his approach and practice though 6 stories that are composed of his own materials, external sources, and analyses of former performances.
