Début Mars 2021


British artist Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) traverses
the experimental terrain between sound and space connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres.
Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, installations and recordings,
the albums Mass Observation (1994), Delivery (1997),
and The Garden is Full of Metal (1998) hailed by critics
as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music.
Committed to working with cutting edge practitioners he has collaborated
with Bryan Ferry, Wayne McGregor, Mike Kelley, Carsten Nicolai, Michael Nyman, Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson and Hussein Chalayan, amongst many others.Rimbaud first met Belgian artist Hans Op de Beeck at
Le Fresnoy Studio national des Arts Contemporains
when they were both Visiting Professors in 2012.
Op de Beeck lives and works in Brussels, Belgium
and creates sculpture, installations, video, photography, animated films, drawing, painting, and writing. His
various works show the viewer non-existent, but
identifiable places, moments and characters that
appear to have been taken from everyday life.The artists found an immediate creative connection,
and a year after meeting Staging Silence (2) was
completed. In 2019, they returned to the theme and
created Staging Silence (3).Each of the films is realised through the same
principles, as two pairs of anonymous hands construct
and deconstruct fictional interiors and landscapes on
a mini film set of just three-square metres in size.
The films take the viewer on a visual journey through depopulated, enigmatic and often melancholic, but nonetheless playful, small-scaled places, which are
built up and taken down before the eye of the camera.Ranging from hyper-realistic fictional land and
cityscapes to absurd, almost surreal, dreamscapes,
the various locations are connected by the sense of
mystery and melancholy that pervades them. And at
every moment Rimbaud’s score is amplifying and
illustrating these moments, from tragedy to nostalgia,
witty to optimistic.Introspective and lyrical, Staging Silence offers us
a world of mystery and intrigue, held together by
nature and time. This is a very humane works
experienced at a time when many of us feel disconnected from the world around us. The peculiar silence that permeates this hauntingly beautiful work is very much
an illustration of our times, anticipating a future in the
past.
Staging Silence is an exquisite study in dreamlike
abstract ambience, a kaleidoscope of sounds and tones
that engage the head and the heart.
