Line-up:

Fresh new wind, blowing over from Zeewezen Villa Delfia and various art schools. Something new every time, assembled with dissembled instruments and stones.

Melodic horn improvisation.
22:30 — Sheldon Siegel (BE)
Improvisation trio comprising artist Gerard Herman, percussionist/drummer Erik Heestermans and cellist/playboy Gino Coomans. Once nicknamed “the student workers of free jazz” by the meanwhile late John "Sugar Daddy” Rottiers, and meanwhile the crème de la scène. Sheldon Siegel plays only once a year, this year it's in De Nor!
In conversation with the artist
More about this work
Dennis Tyfus describes De Nor (2018) as a social sculpture. On this pink stone stage he organises concerts, performances and parties. As a sculpture it is a reminder of those past moments, and a support that waits patiently for those still to come.
The work was numbered 248 in ‘Ultra Eczema’. This project began in 1997 with a fanzine and a compilation cassette. It evolved into an active platform for events, books and vinyl. The numbering tracks Tyfus’ artistic practices.
De Nor is a free place, for the artist himself and for others. During activation, Tyfus adopts different roles: as curator, producer, director, assistant ... Artist, performers and audience encounter different dynamics in this social sculpture. All bodies present form one large whole that transcends the individual.
Before and after the planned performances you can step on stage yourself as a spectator. Or observe other visitors from the gallery. Which role will you adopt?
