Hacking Velo by Ief Spincemaille

In February I set up a temporary second atelier at the workshop of Velo, a socio-economic working place that recycles old bicycles in Leuven, Belgium. During a period of 9 months I hacked the existing production line and recycled old paintings instead of bicycles. Applying the repetitional production process of disassembling, storing and reassembling to works of art. I re-used the raw materials of the 284 recycled paintings for the recreation of 5 pioneering works in modern art history by a.o. Damien Hirst, Ellsworth Kelly and Kasimir Malevich.

Over een periode van negen maanden werkte <strong>Ief</strong> <strong>Spincemaille</strong><br />

in <strong>Velo</strong>, een sociaal economische werkplaats waar oude fietsen<br />

gerecycleerd worden. Hij bouwde er een parallel productiesysteem<br />

dat afgestemd was op een andere materie: kunst.<br />

Negen maanden lang recupereerde hij er kunstwerken, demonteerde<br />

deze, stockeerde de onderdelen en verwerkte<br />

deze tot iets nieuw. Een experiment dat resulteerde in vijf<br />

eigentijdse kunstwerken heropgebouwd op basis van tweehonderdvierentachtig<br />

gerecupereerde kunstwerken.
