Joris Van de Moortel is concerned with architecture as an important medium of our mental and physical experiences of space. Besides musical performances, he \u00a0creates assemblages, which often resemble stage sets or the remains of a performance. For his generally large-scale installation works, Van de Moortel uses pedestals, walls and boxes or a number of things that seem to have been found by chance: towels, musical instruments, door leaves, a single window, or an old cooking pot are combined into unpretentious artefacts, which seem to bear their own, expansive dynamics within them. The artist bundles, ties, screws, and then shuts up his work in wooden or acrylic glass cases, or he has them hang from the ceiling in bin-bags. His environments \u00a0\u2013 often in conjunction with musical performances \u2013 are inspired by found situations and often they have no clearly defined beginning, middle or end. Thus, the artist often \u2018recycles\u2019 the work at the end of an exhibition by destroying it, and constructing a new work with the help of the resultant junk. In this way, the \u201cundoing\u201d in Van de Moortel\u2019s work becomes an important aspect of the \u201cdoing\u201d.<\/p>\n
