Fourfold PERFORMANCE MERYEM BAYRAM & GUY ROMBOUTS
Description
“Fourfold” is an installation-performance that resists a fixed narrative or a singular conceptual frame. It is instead, first and foremost, a living encounter between visual artists Meryem Bayram and Guy Rombouts. In this encounter, Bayram her proposition of a space was given as a gift to the body of the fellow artist. Guy Rombouts his response to it, his “unpacking” of Meryem Bayram’s spatial gift generates the core of the “Fourfold” event.
Meryem Bayram readjusts the performance field, adding and subtracting material and immaterial elements to the unfolding space – objects based on the Azart alphabet of Guy Rombouts and vocal interventions. These improvised yet clearly defined fragments are introduced into the performance as a generative power through which the initial meeting between the two artists is continuously renewed.
