Nada Gambier
Nada Gambier (FI/BE) is in residency at KAOS in collaboration with workspacebrussels.
Nada often collaborates and engages in dialogue as a form of investment and love for the relational. No longer wanting to categorize her work, she now calls it crash-disciplinary. The crash-disciplinary approach refers to a deliberate disregard for disciplinary boundaries. The process determines the format.
Nada often begins her work from a multitude of things—objects, images, texts, questions, concepts—and her processes revolve around finding the inner logic inherent to the combination of elements brought together. This is an attitude that aligns with context and time. You could call it a kind of durational jazz.
Nada has a background in dance and choreography, but she now works within an expanded understanding of performance, where choreography, writing, video, acting, curating, and social engagement continuously meet and collide. She also frequently contributes to other artists’ projects as a performer and artistic advisor. She has collaborated with Kate MacIntosh, Edit Kaldor, Forced Entertainment, Simone Aughterlony, Jorge Léon, Maria Jerez, Diederik Peeters, Charlotte Vanden Eynde, and Phil Hayes, among others.
Nada is interested in how art can be a space of co-existence between the intimate and the social, similarity and difference, familiarity and strangeness.
Based in Brussels, she works across Europe.
