SEPTEMBER 13-18︎ 5 DAYS AND NIGHTS ROPE IS A GUEST IN KORTRIJK
Rope was invited to come to Kortrijk by BK6. An alleyway, a bicycle mechanic, an improvised mosque, a standing seesaw, a psychiatric hospital for a day and a night are some examples of the places Rope visits.
in the meantime, in Texture, a mobile braiding installation, together with visitors to the museum, is working on braiding a 12-meter Rope which, unlike the long Rope, will remain in Kortrijk. Texture is a museum that takes the flax and linen industry in South-West Flanders as a guideline for a story about bold entrepreneurship and groundbreaking craftsmanship in textiles. A story with strong roots that bears witness to daring innovation, agility and constantly reinventing oneself. Of thinkers, daredevils and doers.

ABOUT ROPE
In 2018 Ief Spincemaille created the artwork ‘Rope’: a rope of 60 meters in length and 30 cm in diameter. Rope has been made disproportionately large and has therefore lost its function. Spincemaille travels around the world with Rope to give it new meaning. Besides creating a great artwork, Spincemaille reinvented seating without realizing it. Ropes of 12 and 6 meters are currently being used by cities, companies and private customers, to create temporary social spaces, to play and to knot shapes and encounters. And with a mobile braiding workshop, Rope can be braided in-situ with or without the help of the local community or customer. Rope, just as many of the Ateliers other works, is a social sculpture: a medium which brings imagination and people together. Do something with Rope!
