GROUND ZERO /51.04536/3.71609, 2025

Takes pla­ce from 1 July to 5 October 2025 at KIOSK, Ghent

Throughout the sum­mer months, KIOSK beco­mes the home of GROUND ZERO/51.04536/3.71609, a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­na­ry resi­d­en­cy led by visu­al artist Leen Van Tichelen who invi­ted per­for­mer Fanny Vandesande, com­po­ser Esther Coorevits, and word artist Jonas Bruyneel. Over the cour­se of three months, the artists col­la­bo­ra­te across dis­ci­pli­nes — ima­ge, word, move­ment, and sound — mer­ging their prac­ti­ces into a fluid, site-res­pon­si­ve methodology.

While the gal­lery remains clo­sed to visi­tors, KIOSK itself is trans­for­med into a living stu­dio — part labo­ra­to­ry, part rehear­sal spa­ce — whe­re boun­da­ries are tested, unra­ve­led, and rewritten.

The tit­le, GROUND ZERO /51.04536/3.71609, marks both a begin­ning and a pla­ce. The geo­grap­hic coo­r­di­na­tes point to the exact site of the per­for­man­ce, groun­ding the inquiry in a spe­ci­fic rea­li­ty whi­le ope­ning spa­ce for new artis­tic tra­jec­to­ries to emerge.

GROUND ZERO refers to the zero point from which a new spa­ce is intro­du­ced. The num­ber assig­ned to a GROUND ZERO pro­ject refers to the lon­gi­tu­de and lati­tu­de coo­r­di­na­tes of the res­pec­ti­ve spot whe­re it takes sha­pe. This zero point equals the begin­ning of a new inves­ti­ga­ti­on by the par­ti­ci­pa­ting artists.
