KAOS Talk @ Kaaistudios

On Thursday 29th of January at 20:00 we will have the first KAOS Talk of this year at Kaaistudios in Brussels. Toni Brell, who was a resident at Albe (Kapellen) last summer, and Nada Gambier, who was a resident in Brussels from February to April 2025, will have a conversation about their work and their experiences during their residencies. KAOS Talks are artists talks by KAOS in coproduction with Museum Dr. Guislain (Ghent).

Toni Brell (DE/NL) works at the intersection of installation, performance, and sound. Like a set-builder, they create complex landscapes that are meant to be approached from different angles. Drawing inspiration from ASMR and Foley practices, many of the sculptures they create emit sounds through touch and are often linked to gestures, rhythms, and shared rituals. Inviting activation, the audience may become active participants – characters in a narrative that unfolds. The residency was a collab with Albe.

Nada Gambier (FI/BE) 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 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. The residency was a collab with workspacebrussels.
