HOLE, 8'30"

Steve Van den Bosch & Marc Behrens

13.9 - 11.10.2025

Hole, 8'30" présente une œuvre collaborative qui consiste en une réinterprétation sonore par Marc Behrens d'une œuvre précédente de Steve Van den Bosch, gravée sur un disque en aluminium laqué. Exposée pour la première fois à SB34 concorde, cette œuvre active les propriétés acoustiques de l'espace d'exposition, tandis que sa lecture répétée finira par effacer l'enregistrement de son support. En reliant les échos et les fréquences du langage à la structure de l'espace d'exposition, l'installation interroge les conditions de la disparition, du témoignage et de la trace.

Hole, 8'30" features a collaborative work that consists of a sonic reinterpretation by Marc Behrens of a previous work by Steve Van den Bosch, engraved on an aluminum lacquer disc. Exhibited at SB34 concorde for the first time, the piece activates the acoustic properties of the exhibition space, while its repeated playing will eventually erase the recording from its carrier. By linking the echoes and frequencies of language to the structure of the exhibition space, the installation questions the conditions of disappearance, testimony, and trace.


STEVE VAN DEN BOSCH ( °1975, BE) lives and works in Brussels.
Attracted to the seemingly inexpressive, the unintentional and the mute, he creates work that constantly oscillates between invisibility and materiality. Unbound by any specific medium, he questions the very conditions of the artwork by subverting its parameters, thereby disrupting established logics. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Kunsthalle Bern, Witte de With (Rotterdam), the Shanghai and Sydney Biennials, and the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis.

MARC BEHRENS ( °1970, DE)  
His work spans electronic and concrete music, installations, photography, and video. Active since 1989, he has released over 40 albums and presented projects worldwide. Behrens often explores sound in remote locations, social structures, more recently he composed and produced Eure Welt – Ein Audiodrive with Hannes Seidl, a performance piece with cars and healing frequencies. He has performed across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East.

Cette publication se présente comme le post-scriptum de l'exposition de Simon Asencio Through The Valley of The Nest of Spiders pour SB34-The Pool à Bruxelles. Dédiée au roman de science-fiction et de sexutopie de Samuel R. Delany dont elle porte le titre, l'exposition a été pensée comme un processus d'annotation de ce livre, développant les formes éthiques mises en pratique par les personnages du récit, à travers des installations, des lectures et situations performatives, avec la complicité d'autres artistes. Cet objet interlope poursuit ce processus intertextuel, en prolongeant et disséminant les écritures forgées par l'exposition.

Disponible chez rile*books et bientôt dans une sélection de librairies, ainsi qu’à SB34 concorde.

This publication acts as a postscriptum to the exhibition project Through The Valley of The Nest of Spiders by Simon Asencio for SB34-The Pool in Brussels. Dedicated to Samuel R. Delany's sci-fi and sexutopia novel, the exhibition was conceived as a process of annotating the book, expanding on the ethics discussed by the characters of the novel through installation, performative readings and with the complicity of other artists and their works. This devious object pursues such an intertextual process, extending and disseminating the writings forged by the exhibition.

Available at rile*books and soon in selected bookstores, as well as at SB34 concorde.
