Antwerp Art Nocturne

Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to participate in Antwerp Art Nocturne on Saturday, October 31st, 2020.

The exhibition spaces at Kanaal will be open from 11 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Visitors are welcome to tour the current exhibitions by Kimsooja, Yun Hyong-keun, Per Kirkeby, the group exhibition Writing Beyond, as well as permanent installations. (correct?)

On the occasion of the Antwerp Art Nocturne, Axel Vervoordt Gallery and Inspiratum proudly present ‘Unravelling’, a musical improvisation performance by Peter Merckx on his bass clarinet.
Performances will start at 5 p.m. – 5.45 p.m. – 6.30 p.m.

Parallel to Yun Hyong-keun's quest for the essence of nature, Peter Merckx attempts to capture the essence of sound. With a pure sound as a starting point, he concentrates on systematically unravelling the timbral spectra of his bass clarinet by manipulating two aspects: echo and harmony. In this way, and with a simple composition based on square fields in earthy colour tones, he gives a voice to muted timbres and frees colours from the background.
