Artist talk with Pablo Wendel

Discussion between Pablo and Helen Turner from AGENCY AGENCY on pablos practice, with examples of work and current project Performance Electrics. Followed by a question and answer session.

Naar aanleiding van een partnerschap tussen de vzw’s Jeunesse et Arts Plastiques en Recyclart, werd tijdens de herfst een oproep tot kandidaatstelling gedaan. Na ontvangst van veel interessante dossiers en beraadslaging door de jury, is de keuze uiteindelijk gevallen op het project Performance Electrics GmbH met als curator het collectief AGENCY AGENCY.

About Performance Electrics
Founded in 2012 by artist Pablo Wendel, Performance Electrics produces electricity through art, which is then fed into the national grid. The works manifest in temporary actions in public spaces, installations and long-term public art projects. Wendel graduated from the MA Sculpture department at the Royal College of Art, London in 2010. His work deals directly with the immediate environment and is made up of self-defined experiments, which identify boundaries and consequently transgress them.
