2023, limited artist book and yellow 7” vinyl
Twelve complete strangers with little or no knowledge of the Dutch language were invited to form a choir. Each made their own phonetical notes of three songs in old Antwerp dialect which they sang in unison. After just four rehearsals, these newly transformed versions were recorded. This limited edition 7” vinyl record RE:ANKER is available for purchase from the artist (email), DMW gallery and the M HKA museum shop.

ABOUT

In his interdisciplinary practice, Ignace Cami (°1986, BE) takes folk culture as a starting point to make objects, sculptures, installations and writings. He thereby activates the contemporary meaning of local history.



Trained as a printmaker and sculptor, Cami started moving towards more active and social ways of distributing his projects. Each project creates a new platform for social interaction. By emphasizing familiarity in his own tender and playful way, he pushes the boundaries of performativity and storytelling.

 

He also ran the artist run CRYING space with Ward Zwart and is a part of collaborative projects like Haas & Gaai, Boris & Kitchenknife and Nestvlieders.
