Call for participants for 'Us' by Jonas Vansteenkiste

We are currently looking for two girls with similar height and hairstyle who would like to participate in the live-sculpture 'US' of Jonas Vansteenkiste. Anyone who is interested please contact us or come to the exhibition opening tonight (Friday 11december 6pm) and/or the marathon tomorrow (Saturday 12 december) at noon until midnight. 



Thank you!


US is a relational object; a pillow
which connects two humans and
concurrently detains them together.
The two of them make up this image
and step by step it seems
that their identity fades and they are
seen as one.

This object creates a symbiosis of
these two people in which each
one is depending on the other.
However charming and recognisable
this object is in it’s appearance,
one’s feels the negative tension
this object bears.
The longer these persons are sharing this intimate dialogue the more
 they seem to loose themselves and even suffocate each other.

Us” tells the story about an unseen
space and a social space that is not
pronounced but wears a tangible tension.
