2019. Performance with ladder from steel, Teheran.

The public space of Teheran is filled with add-on objects to define the behavior of its users. Most of them are to block certain users to use certain spaces. While exploring the sculptural influence of these objects on their environments, we created our own sculptures in order to generate a new influence for the users of Teherans’ public space. By adding our sculptures in the public space, we want to create more space by making certain spaces accessible. Therefore our sculptures have the shape of a ladder. These ladders give a suggestion on how to use space.

Cabins can be used to stand on, walls can be climbed, frontiers can be passed.

This work was made in collaboration with Sebastiaan Willemen. © Image courtesy of the artists

Biography

Lola Prima Donna Daels °1990, Brussel (BE) represented by Kusseneers Gallery, Brussels. Currently in residency @level five Brussels.

 

 

Lola Prima Donna Daels (b. 1990 in Jette, BE) is a Brussels based artist. Leaving from found objects, she poses critical inquiries about the ecological and socio-political situation. By reshaping and integrating her relics into new contexts she questions the concept of authenticity in our globalizing society. She has exponentially gravitated towards researching the human impact from an ecological preoccupation. She works site-specifically, both in research scope as well as in execution. 

Daels obtained her master degree in visual arts in 2014 at Luca School of Arts, Brussels. She has been part of several residency programs such as EKWC (NL), Kooshk recidency (IR) and Cité Internationale des Arts (FR). Her work was shown at Bozar (BE), Extracity Kunsthal (BE), Deegar Platform (IR), Art Sonje Center Seoul (KR) and many more.

Her interest in urban complexities led to the collaboration with architect and urbanist Sebastiaan Willemen. She's is a member of Level Five artistic ecology in Brussels. Currently she's represented by Kusseneers Gallery, Brussels.
