ETAT DES LIEUX is a public program curated & produced by nadine vzw, where artists present ongoing research and work during a public try-out. For this Etat des Lieux, nadine teamed up with Pool is Cool: the outdoor swimming pool of FLOW becomes the backdrop for an experimental event with performance, play and spontaneous sound interventions. The Buratinas boat was occupied by NGHE Médiathèque, who lead the public from the centre of Brussels to FLOW and create spontaneous sonic events. This walk took the form of a live radio fiction on the history of the canal and its transformations related to real estate speculation. At the end of the evening, the boat hosts a concert by Tel Quel. In his sound practice, Christian Hansen (209.dk) always sees a given landscape or scenery as an infrastructure. He then enters an interface to play, decode or activate it. Christian installed his ‘floating keyboards’ as an ongoing performance in the pool. The collective performances of Francesca Chiacchio (ILPALINSESTO) are initiated by colour codes. Geometry is often used for communication with participants. At FLOW, she experimented with ‘drawing’ from geometry to imagine a score and a game. She did a try out of the choreography with swimmers in the pool. Sylvain Brillault (no limit graphics) & Guillaume Ribault set up an upcycling/silkscreen atelier. They designed Buratinas typographic patterns that could be freely applied to the publics garments.
