Gwendolyn Lootens
Scales of a moment

KIOSK welcomes Gwendolyn Lootens, who between September 2025 and June 2027 will further develop her project Scales of a moment through a series of collaborations and residencies. During this period, various elements of her work will be gradually developed. In the summer of 2027 these will come together in a residency at KIOSK, followed by a solo exhibition presenting the project as a whole.

The work of Gwendolyn Lootens is often immaterial, fragile, and ephemeral. Repetitive gestures and everyday objects give rise to an abstract, often playful visual language. Time plays a central role, not only as a framework but also as a medium.

In Scales of a moment, Lootens explores spatial concepts that operate both within exhibitions and in performative contexts. The project emphasizes the tension between objective and subjective experiences of scale, in both space and time. The artist weaves together different media such as drawing, video, sound, and performance, always with an eye for the social and participatory dimensions of her practice.

The project unfolds through four pillars, developed in dialogue with various collaborators: materializing video works within space, developing sound installations, creating mobile scenographic elements, and exploring drawing and video as forms of choreography.

Scales of a moment is supported by a project grant from the Flemish Government in partnership with KIOSK, Meow collective, Disegni/KULeuven, Herculeslab, VidiSquare, Kaap, CC Strombeek, Studio Inneke, and others.
