It is with pride that Netwerk announces the co-production of 'La Mesure Végétale', a new work by artists Fabien Giraud & Raphaël Siboni, filmed in the arctic setting of Svalbard. The film will be premiered during this first Belgian solo exhibition at Netwerk.
Having grown from the practices of documentary and cinema, Giraud & Siboni focus their research on the conceptual approach and the perception of the world by man. They question the evolution of techniques, time periods and proportional scales, which have brought us to a worldview that is far beyond the measure of man.
+ concert James Blackshaw
Since his debut album, Celeste in 2003, James Blackshaw (UK) has been considered one of the leading Avant-folk guitarists of his generation. Unlike any other, he combines British pastoral folk with fingerpicking and contemporary classical music a la Terry Riley.
The number 'Celeste Part I' inspired Fabien Giraud & Raphaël Siboni for their series 'The Unmanned' where each episode begins and ends with this piece of music. More than enough reason to invite him for a concert at the opening of 'Une Simple Machine'.
