Toine Horvers


Thursday 31 March 5 pm talk & presentation of work

7pm Performance [Writing Lecture, 2010]

Toine Horvers is a Dutch performance artist who works with language in both written and spoken form. He uses language to disseminate other realities for it to become a gesture in space and time. The material for the works is derived from language that is used for recording and describing, based on observations of situations and processes in daily life. These recordings are presented in voice performances - solo or group, hand-written drawings, hand-written books, sound installations and interactive electronic text-displays in public or semi-public spaces.
