MediaRuimte / LAb[au]

bio

MediaRuimte '01t XYZ' is the gallery and office of LAb[au]. It distinguishes itself as a platform for digital design, with a program focusing on the digital medium and its multiple forms of expression, as such: MR+ (MediaRuimte abbreviation to MR., say 'Mister' ) .xpo, .ini, .wav, .txt, .www, .tmp and .exe.. MediaRuimte hosts a series of activities going from exhibitions ( 'MR.xpo' ), artist-presentations ( 'MR.ini' ), audiovisual performances ( 'MR.wav' ), conferences ( 'MR.txt' ), online studies ( 'MR.www' ), artist-residences ( 'MR.tmp' ) to workshops ( 'MR.exe' ).

The intention of LAb[au] exists in the creation of a experimental platform BY artists FOR artists where
experiences and exchanges are shared with a public. Alternative formats such as breakfast presentations and media-lounges are handled, and each invited artist is encouraged to explore the modalities of its work through live-experiment and site-specific development. MediaRuimte is thus as much a platform for presentation as creation, where LAb[au]'s artistic and technological know-how is acting as support through a transdisciplinary and collaborative approach.

    Among the modern-art crowd, Belgium is known as the country with that 'surrealist' lineage: James Ensor - René Magritte - Marcel Broodthaers. While this is certainly a fine compliment for three artists of far-reaching significance, a great deal has changed in this country, which has been a crossroads of the Roman and Germanic cultures, a key logistic point between Great Britain, Germany and France, and home to the European Community.
