Founded by artists Arnaud Eeckhout (1987) and Mauro Vitturini (1985), the VOID collective has a penchant for the invisibility and immateriality of sound, and aims to shape this absence through a multidisciplinary practice that creates installations, sculptures, videos, drawings to texts, performances, books and public space interventions. The duo’s current showcase, held at LMNO gallery in their hometown Brussels, is entitled Not Every Flag Has The Same Shadow, and features an immersive installation that addresses the question of collective identity and the symbols that contribute to build it. Monuments, flags, blazons, hymns, pledges, ceremonials, objects – in addition to their functional interest, these fictional devices generate a genuine visual, sonic and performative language of their own. VOID’s investigation tries to deconstruct and question both their function and their syntax, questioning by extension the nature of that intimate but collective feeling of identity (on through Oct 27). Location: LMNO, Concordestraat 31 (Elsene).
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
