Spin Vzw

SPIN is Brussels-based. SPIN is a collaboration of artists and art-workers to support the artistic trajectory as a whole and encourage collective reflection around the role of art and the artists in society. SPIN is self-organized; the artists and art-workers are together responsible for all the aspects of the organization. SPIN is based on collective autonomy; solidarity that strengthens the individual autonomy through the sharing of time, support, experience, network, content dialogue and reflection. SPIN is a playground. SPIN is an open and diverse ecology of connections and collaborations amongst artists, organizations, institutions and audiences. SPIN is a way to transcend the project-based reality and develop a long-term perspective for artistic practice. SPIN is a mess. SPIN is a mobile entity that is constantly reinvented and reconstructed as we move along. SPIN is a critically-positive alternative - a compact, sustainable and flexible model in the context of an arts field and society that is finding itself in a fundamental transition. Hans Bryssinck Hans Bryssinck received a formal training at KASK in Ghent (Belgium) where he learned to develop a multidisciplinary and versatile arts practice. His initial artistic explorations led him into working as a designer, a performer, a theatre maker, a visual artist and a filmmaker. Kate McIntosh Kate McIntosh is an artist working across the boundaries of performance, theatre, video and installation. From New Zealand and originally trained in dance, she has performed internationally since 1995. Diederik Peeters The self-acclaimed typical example of the neoliberal immaterial labourer slash cultural job-hopper that he is, Peeters has been reported to pop up in the work of colleague-artists, cunningly disguised as actor, performer or even advisor. But he especially keeps insisting on brewing his own artistic concoctions, sometimes in collaboration with carefully selected accomplices.
