Lieve D'hondt
(°1963, Siegen-Germany)
Lieve D'hondt lives and works in Belgium. Her audio-visual installations and graphic works draw on the classical processes underlying sculpture, drawing and architecture, transposing them to the media and virtual environments and blurring the boundaries between the different disciplines. Forming, de-forming and re-forming, constructing, de-constructing and re-constructing, presence and absence, fragmentation and integration, transposition and relocation, association and dissociation, all play a key part in the artist's reflection on perception, a process that also activates the viewer, triggering physical and mental movement and participation. For several years now most of her projects have focused on the occupation of space, experiencing its meaning and content and that of the surrounding areas and places. She has collaborated in projects with other visual artists, including Almut Rink, Christof Schlegel, Juul Sadée, Maria Blondeel, Rik De Boe, Peter Morrens and Leonidas Martin Saura, and with composer Guy De Bièvre and Esther Venrooy. The work of Lieve D'hondt has been shown inter alia in Cube, Tokyo- Japan 2012 / Cali- Colombia 2012 / Nanjing- China 2009 / Tokyo- Japan 2009 / Helsinki- Finland 2009 / Bat-Yam Museum of Contemporary Art, Tel-Aviv- Israel 2009 / Küf/Mold, Rotterdam- The Netherlands 2008 / Festival of Contemporary Art_2008", Varna- Bulgaria / OpenStudio, Wien- Austria 2008 / KunstDoc, Seoul- South Korea 2008 / De Pont, Tilburg- The Netherlands 2008 / Festival of Experimental Art, Tel Aviv– Israël / Loyal-Rooftops-2007, Kassel- Germany 2007 / in Experimental Intermedia, New York-USA 2007 / Netwerk Aalst-Belgium 2007 / Tel Aviv-Israel 2007 / Olso-Norway 2006 / Intro, Maastricht-The Netherlands 2006 / Tbilisi-Georgia 2005 / 4th Gyumri Biennale of Contemporary Art, Gyumri-Armenia 2004 / Observatorio, Morelia-Mexico 2004 / Thailand New Media Art Festival, Bangkok-Thailand 2004 / Galerie CD, Christine De Ketelaere, Tielt-Belgium 2004 / Grand Tour, Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Ghent-Belgium 2003 / Galerie Denise Van de Velde, Aalst-Belgium 2003 / Künstlerhaus, Dortmund-Germany 2003 / Video Art Center Tokyo-Japan 2002 / CCNOA, Brussels-Belgium 2002 / de Warande, Turnhout-Belgium 2001 / Netwerk2, Aalst-Belgium 2001 / Surge Gallery, Tokyo-Japan 2001 / Stockholm-Sweden 2000 / 'room104', Nijmegen-Netherlands 2000 / Cafe9.net, Brussels-Belgium 2000 / 'Axis', Yoghyakarta, Jakarta, Singapore 1997 / 'Trapped Reality', Barcelona-Spain 1997 / 'Speelhoven 97', Aarschot-Belgium 1997 / Rosas, Breda-The Netherlands 1996 / 'Barabaro', Florence-Italy 1989. /
