As a former jazz musician, Bram Vreven has<br />
been making sound installations since 1998. His<br />
installations contrast acoustic and electronic<br />
sounds in a refined way. Silence has gradually been<br />
gaining an important role in his work. A number<br />
of his installations make forceful movements,<br />
but hardly produce any sound or no sound at all.<br />
This silent movement has become one of Vreven’s<br />
leitmotivs. Between 2004 and 2008 Vreven created<br />
a series of installations entitled vloei – flow, in which<br />
tubes filled with water and double glass sheets are<br />
set into motion, creating waves and currents which<br />
follow very specific patterns of movement, almost<br />
taking the form of choreographies. The complete<br />
vloei – flow series was presented at the Muziekgebouw aan `t IJ (Amsterdam),<br />
TodaysArt (The Hague), Art Center Buda (Kortrijk) and the Verbeke Foundation<br />
(Kemzeke). Vreven’s recent installation Rays had its first public viewing at<br />
CAC (Vilnius) and was followed by presentations in Netwerk (Aalst), Art Center<br />
Vooruit (Ghent), Galery Jos Art (Amsterdam) and Transmediale festival (Berlin). In<br />
addition to various solo exhibitions in Belgium and the Netherlands, Vreven also<br />
participated in group exhibitions at a.o. Festival van Vlaanderen (Brussels), Lille<br />
2004 (Lille), NICC (Antwerp), De Brakke Grond and the Consortium (Amsterdam),<br />
Art Center STUK (Louvain), Audioframes (Kortrijk) and the Ultima Festival (Oslo).<br />
