Edith Dekyndt

Ypres, Belgium, 1960

Edith Dekyndt lives and works between Tournai, Brussels and Berlin. Dekyndt works with video, sculpture, installation, drawing and sound to address the timeless questions of light, time and space in the subtlest of ways. Throughout her work, the artist shows a deep interest in physical phenomena and ephemeral events, paying close attention to materials and their transient nature. She transforms her sensory perceptions to create a visual language that is conceptually rich and materially engaged. She has taken part in a great many exhibitions around the world: La trahison des images, Palazzo Franchetti (Venice Biennale, 2001); The Weather, Charles H. Scott Gallery (Vancouver, 2004); Brussels South Airport; Krinzinger Projekte (Vienna, 2005); One Second of Silence, Parker’s Box Gallery (New York, 2008); Present Perfect, Program Gallery (Berlin, 2008); Political/Minimal, KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin, 2008); Show Me, Don’t Tell Me (Brussels Biennial, 2008); Nos (Us), Museu da República (Rio de Janeiro, 2009). Her solo exhibitions include The Transparent Ceiling, Galerie Les filles du calvaire (Paris, 2009). Finally, a monograph, I Remember Earth, edited by Denis Gielen, was published by Facteur Humain in March 2009.
