Apnée Zoo Beat

Transcultures / City Sonic invited Antoine Boute (writer, performer) with his accomplices. They are Chloé Schuiten (designer, writer and ‘designer of waste’), Clément Thiry (visual artist and interdisciplinary creator), Jeanne Pruvot Simonneaux (performer and sculptor) and students of the School of Graphic Research (ERG, Brussels) where he teaches and transforms the space of la Maisons des Jeunes Chez Zelle.

Apnée Zoo Beat is a growing installation activated during an immersive performance of “civilizational Apnea” clotured by a Biohardcore Banquet (29.11 > see City Sonic #16 events @LLN) in the city of Louvain-la-Neuve to feel the pulse of his various forms of life and then add a layer, a pulsation, accumulate attempts to approach, as many beats, “punches” or bites as possible, to then hang them like cloves in Chez Zelle.

Additionally, a video lounge with selected works related to the artists: Chloé Schuiten (Be), Clément Thiry (Fr), Martine Doyen (Be), June Peduzzi (Fr/It) (Fr/It).

Zero waste banquet + organic hardcore performance

To end, in a festive and participative way, their evolving creation(s) residency, conducted on the occasion of City Sonic # 16, at Maison des jeunes Chez Zelle, Antoine Boute and his accomplices offer a big tasty and long banquet. Made 100% of recuperation food, it will be interspersed with “bio hardcore” performance, because the bio-hardcore revolution that uses constraint as a motor of reactivity is not only by sleeping, glancing, or working, but also by eating.

Biography

Chloé Schuiten draws, writes, creates comics. She tests and organizes collective events and ways of living. At times she is a stylist of urgency and waste, or a teacher of the workshop “doing nothing in the woods”. The world in its current state does not satisfy her. She wants to be in, but to live differently. Obsessed by crumbs, small stuff and what is undesirable, she collects these pieces and uses them as basic materials for her creations. Her work also deals with wildness and connections between men and animals. After having created and co-managed Le Maga gallery for three years, she is now involved in the collective Le Lac.
