Artist Talk #3 - the works
Which artworks will be discussed in Artist Talk #3?
A stage and a guided walk: collective engagement is at the core of these artworks by Dennis Tyfus and Tuur & Flup Marinus & Ariadna Estalella Alba in COME CLOSER. What is the role of the collective where artists, performers, and audience necessarily come together? Moderator Zeynep Kubat engages in a conversation with the artists. Here's an overview of the works they created for the exhibition.

A Walk In The Sculpture Park (2024)
For the circular path in the museum, the artists developed a special audio track with instructions. Similar to the running app ‘Start to run’, yet more surprising. After all, you don't just walk past works of art from the Middelheim collection. You also interact with your own body and with others. You become the performer and reveal the invisible work. As such, you determine the work's appearance for others.

De Nor (2018)
On four Saturdays, Dennis Tyfus invites special performance artists to De Nor (2018). Dennis Tyfus describes this installation as a social sculpture. On this stage he organises concerts, performances and parties. Here the performers and the audience become one for a while. As a sculpture it is a reminder of those past moments, and a support that waits patiently for those still to come. As a spectator you can step on stage yourself, or observe other visitors from the gallery. Which role will you adopt?
