Wander - Meander I a permanent performance

The project was developed during occasional stays of Sarah&Charles at the house of Julie Vandenbroucke and Michel Espeel, starting in 2014.

A silver nail is embedded in the surface of the terrace of the house together with a task for the collectors: to activate the piece at least once a year for 20 years. The silver nail functions as a symbolic anchor to the house and instigates the performance.

At the inauguration, Sarah&Charles put in motion a first activation of the nail in close collaboration with performer Bryana Fritz. The performance developed in the house is based on the experience of the architecture and the way in which the space relates to its inhabitants. The project has been made possible due to the generous exchange between both the collectors and the artists.

On August 28th 2016, there was a first activation of the piece by Sarah&Charles

in collaboration with and performed by Bryana Fritz

with temporary sculptures by After Howl

and documented by Hans Bruch jr.

Hello, welcome to the house of Julie and Michel.
This is not a house that you may have drawn before, a square with a triangle on top and a rectangle as a door. It’s a house without a corner. There is no clear entrance, no clear exit. Thus no clear beginning and no clear end.

Please feel free to come and join me on the terrace.

The Brussels based artist collective After Howl welcomed the public into a temporary pavilion which functioned as the setting for the inauguration in which they offered edible sculptures to the public.
