During series of ateliers Konnektor-artists co-operated with the clients of daycare center OBRA|BAKEN. Starting from the existing practice of the artist together they created new work and discovered the broad horizons in Kerkbrugge-Langerbrugge. In this exposition we share a unique glimpse on the proces and the collaborations that took place during the ateliers. Through unedited audio, image and video material we invite you to this surprising story that displays the synergy between client, art and artist.

Discover the  tussen de cliënten van OBRA|BAKEN met de volgende kunstenaars:
• Michiel Soete challenges the webcam of the Langerbrugge car ferry. Creating staged situations he worked on a stop-motion film in which the clinets take the lead role.
• Oan Moonens rediscovered her investigation area, the yacht-harbour, through the eyes of the clients. During her ateliers they played with the medium film. They imaged themselves and the surroundings. A blockbuster in the making.
• Reinout Dewulf took the clients for several rides on an electric sidecar bicycle. As neighbourhood reporters, armoured with disposable photo-cameras, they registered everything which was interesting or beautiful.  The photographic results of these wanderings were brought together in the group exhibition Site/side-seeing in Langerbrugge.
• Anna Burvenich collected, cut and pasted, together with the clients,  on her bright spot in the neighbourhood: A Wall of Trust. She organised an enveloppe collection in the community and processed them to the building bricks of her work.
• Hanse Cora captured the clients and their favourite objects on camera in a true photo-studio. The images were edited and resulted in highly personal christmas cards.
• Manoeuvre didn’t care to much about seasonal differences and continued to work, even in wintertime, on their boundary-free camping experience. In the wax-atelier they transformed camping-items to candles of all sorts.
• Photographer Simen Lambrecht experimented with images and chemical development. With a cyanotype-kit werkte they worked on a series of collages and T-shirts.
• During several ateliers Laura Vanborm worked on a video and movement/dance trajectory. Together they researched the formal in landscapes and the expression of movement and challenged the medium of film and photography.
