About the artist:
The work of Lawrence Malstaf (1972 Belgium) is situated on the borderline between the visual and the theatrical. He develops installation and performance art with a strong focus on motion and coincidence. He creates immersive sensorial rooms for individual visitors and also larger mobile structures dealing with space and orientation. Living objects, kinetic architecture and physical interaction are characteristic for the installations by Lawrence Malstaf. His responsive environments generate theatrical situations involving the visitor as an essential presence and co-actor in their dramaturgy. In a complex play with unstable order, chance and change his machines display emotion, doubt and other human qualities. Recent projects focus more on public space, nature conservation and upcycled materials.
Lawrence Malstaf has received several international awards in the field of art and new technology. He is also well known as an innovative scenographer in the dance and theatre world. He currently lives and works in Tromsø (Norway) and exhibits internationally with strong focus on a more ecological art practice.
